DLA is the Defense Logistics Agency. It buys supplies for the military and posts small orders on DIBBS, the DLA Internet Bid Board System. A small order is a micro-purchase. You say your price and how fast you can deliver. DLA compares both.
The Small orders page lists these orders. Hunter checks each one against your business and against DLA's rules about who may sell.
