DIBBS RFQ Scraper turns the Defense Logistics Agency's Internet Bid Board System into rows you can sort, filter and quote from. Search by the codes you already use, choose how far back to look, and export the results. No DIBBS account is needed to view solicitations, and the Actor never submits quotes or touches bidding.

🔍 What does DIBBS RFQ Scraper do?

DIBBS (dibbs.bsm.dla.mil) publishes the Defense Logistics Agency's requests for quotation. Its search screens show a few results at a time and offer no bulk export. This Actor runs the same searches for you and returns every match as structured data.

Each record includes the solicitation number, NSN, item description, quantity, issue and due dates, status, set-aside type, purchase request number and links to the solicitation PDF and its package page. You can narrow results to small-business, HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned or unrestricted set-asides.

👥 Why use DIBBS RFQ Scraper?

• "I make parts, and I need to see new RFQs before the return-by date passes." Search your NSNs or supply classes each morning and quote first.
• "I resell NSN items and match RFQs against what I stock." Pull a whole supply class into a spreadsheet and sort by quantity.
• "I run a bid-alert or GovCon service." Feed DIBBS solicitations into your own product on a schedule, with new-only runs to avoid duplicates.
• "I study what the Department of Defense buys." Use the all-history scope to analyze volumes by supply class and set-aside over the years.

💡 Tips

• Start with a supply class such as 5340 and a small record limit to see the shape of the data.
• Turn off attachment links when you only need the search fields. Runs finish noticeably faster.
• For a daily feed, turn on Only New Solicitations, give the search its own Monitor Scope, and schedule the run.
• Set the scope to All only when you want history. Open or Recent keeps results focused on RFQs you can still quote.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a DIBBS account to use this? No. The Actor reads the public solicitation pages that DIBBS shows without a login. It never submits quotes, and it never touches the parts of DIBBS that require registration.

Can I search by NSN, CAGE code or part number, not just supply class? Yes. Choose the search type in Search By and enter your value. NSN, part number, CAGE code, solicitation number, purchase request and item name are all supported.

How far back does the data go? Set the scope to All to include closed, awarded and cancelled RFQs from earlier years. The other scopes cover open RFQs, today's RFQs, or the last 15 days.

How do I get only new solicitations each day? Turn on Only New Solicitations, choose a Monitor Scope, and schedule the Actor. The first run records what it saw, and later runs return only what is new.
