Manufacturers looking to sell to the Department of Defense for the first time or seeking to increase your DOD sales should always be on the lookout for items with only one Manufacturer. In this article we will quickly look at Antennas the DOD buys.
Government contractors spend much of their time searching for DOD bids and sometimes forget to spend time researching beyond that one bid opportunity. Reviewing data such as past contract sales (procurement history) of a specific company or commodity can lead you into directions you may not have seen. The data tells the story.
This week a question came up after reviewing some open government solicitations for antennas. We looked at a few of the NSNs listed, then looked at procurement history and listed manufacturers. Of the very small number of NSNs we reviewed a trend was beginning unveil itself – Only One Manufacturer. If you were a manufacturer of antennas or a similar/related product you might consider becoming a manufacturer of antennas for DOD.
Even if you don’t manufacturer antennas, there are millions of NSNs DOD buys on a regular basis and many of them will have only one listed manufacturer and the data will tell you. DOD opportunities lie way beyond bid searching and this is one of the ways successful government contractors think.
The Department of Defense is always looking for new manufacturers, however most of the time they are not knocking at your door, it’s up to you to find these opportunities and looking at the data is a great start.

Are you are a new company looking to sell products to DOD or possibly improve your results in winning Department of Defense (DOD) contracts, here’s one tip – Find the most detailed contract award data you can.
Successful Government contactors know exactly what DOD buys and how they buy it.
If you know DOD buys products you sell using long term contracts, then that’s how you need to sell.
DOD purchases products using a variety of methods such as posted solicitations, long term contracts, and direct-catalog sales. Knowing which method(s) DOD buys products you want to sell, will greatly improve your chances of being awarded government contracts.
One of ways to quickest ways to find out how DOD buys products is to review past sales of companies currently selling those products you which to sell. The more detailed data you can find the better.
What I’m referring to when I mention details is – Exactly and I mean Exactly what was sold. Knowing details like manufacturer, part number and NSN will greatly increase your chances of being awarded the DOD contract, because you know the details guiding you on how to sell it.
Here is an example of what you might find on a government site such as FPDS:
Contract number: SPE7L7…
NAICS Code: 444130 – Hardware Stores
Product/Service Code: 5120 – Hand Tools, Nonedged, Nonpowered
Does the above data tell you what was sold? NO
Imagine how your business would thrive if you knew the details of exactly what DOD was buying and how they purchased it. You can obtain detailed data through FOIA requests or at places such as DIBBS (only for a limited time). Commercial subscription services specializing in Government contract data such as www.bidlink.net or consultants provide this type of information.
Here is an example telling you exactly what was purchased:
Contract number: SPE7L7…
NSN: 6230-01-513-2663
Description: Aluminum LED Lamp Flashlight, 2 AA, Black, 6 ¼ inch
Manufacturer: National Industries for the Blind
If a DOD buyer came to your catalog, you didn’t offer this item – they might just go somewhere else and you just lost the sale.
