Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Prime Contractor Opportunity

Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)-certified firms are eligible to compete as prime contractors on small delivery orders issued by the Defense Logistics Agency for commercial items such as batteries, under a set-aside program designed to increase contracting opportunities for qualified minority-owned businesses. The opportunity leverages fast-pay provisions to ensure quicker payment cycles, enhancing cash flow for participating small businesses and encouraging participation in defense supply chains. The North American Industry Classification System code 423620 applies to this solicitation, indicating the commercial nature of the goods involved, and the contract is structured as a subcontract mechanism under the broader DLA procurement framework, with performance expected across unspecified locations within the United States. This initiative supports the Department of Defense’s commitment to expanding vendor diversity and accelerating access to critical commercial supply items through targeted, efficient contracting pathways.
