Billions of dollars flow through DLA's DIBBS system every year. Is your business positioned to capture its share?

Colorado APEX Accelerator is proud to share this powerful virtual training opportunity from our partners at Govology - and if your company manufactures, supplies, or distributes products, this one is built for you.

DIBBS System Overview – Searching for and Bidding on Opportunities (2026 Update)

📅 October 20th, 2026
🕐 1:00 PM EDT
⏱ ~90 Minutes
💻 Live Webinar + On-Demand Recording Available October 29th

DLA's Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) is one of the most powerful - and most overlooked - contracting platforms in the Defense Industrial Base. Just like SAM.gov, billions of dollars in government procurement move through DIBBS annually. Contractors who aren't actively monitoring it are leaving real money on the table.

Presented by Joshua Frank of RSM Federal, this 90-minute deep dive will walk you through everything you need to find opportunities and bid on them successfully - from account setup and keyword searches to automated opportunity alerts and the full online bidding process.

✅ Set up your DIBBS account
✅ Search by CAGE codes, NSNs, and keywords
✅ Automate opportunity notifications
✅ Complete the online bidding process with confidence

Your registration includes access to the on-demand recording - so even if you can't make it live, you won't miss a thing.

Supporting the U.S. Warfighter starts with showing up where the Defense Logistics Agency is buying. Don't let another contract cycle pass you by.

👉 👉 Registration includes access to the on-demand recording. Contact your Colorado APEX Counselor for the code to attend this webinar at NO COST.
