TKO Program
The Training Knowledge and Opportunities program is designed for potential suppliers familiarization of the process involved in doing business with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime. Training is held year-round.
Virtual TKO Seminars and Webinars are collective and/or individual sessions that teach vendors how to start doing business with DLA. Vendors learn how to find open solicitations, how to submit a quote through the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS), and the procedures for viewing/downloading drawings. There will also be many other relevant topics of discussion. These courses are designed for dealers, distributors, and manufacturers, but not a organization that provides "services." All sessions are held virtually and are free of charge.

Military Specifications (MilSpec)
Go to the application
This web site contains documents and MilSpec drawings for which DLA Land and Maritime is a technical agent or Preparing Activity. Other documents not under DLA Land and Maritime purview can be ordered from DLA Document Services (Some non-DLA Land and Maritime documents are available in electronic format from other web sites. See our list of other sites .)
To determine whether DLA Land and Maritime is an agent or PA for a document, refer to the DoD Index of Specifications and Standards (DoDISS), also available from the Document Automation and Production Service.
Or if you are looking for an updated version of a document, check the last page of the old copy. If DLA-ES or DLA-CC is listed as an agent or Preparing Activity in the Concluding material section, then the document should be available from this web site. (There will be some exceptions, due to reassignment of certain FSCs.)

QML/QPL listings
Go to the application
This master Qualified Manufacturers List (QML)/Qualified Product List (QPL) index lists all of the specifications for which DLA Land and Maritime-VQ maintains qualification data.
Qualification and listing in a QPL, QML, or QBL is the process by which products are obtained from manufacturers or distributors, examined and tested for compliance with specification requirements, or manufacturers or potential offerors, are provided an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification. The names of successful products, manufacturers, or potential offerors are included on lists evidencing their status. Generally, qualification is performed in advance and independently of any specific acquisition action. After qualification, the products, manufacturers, or potential offerors are included in a Federal or Military QPL, QML, or QBL. (See 9.202 (a)(2) with regard to any product, manufacturer, or potential offeror not yet included on an applicable list.)

Qualified Products Database
Go to the application
The Qualified Products Database (QPD) provides a repository for all qualified products and sources relevant to a governing specification.
One of the primary goals of QPD is to create an online, real-time replacement for paper-based QPL documents. It can provide buyers with assurance that items currently comply with specified requirements. The QPD is a robust application that facilitates frequent updates to qualification data and its immediate availability to users within the standardization community.
All parts and sources are relative to a pertinent governing specification. A specification must not be canceled and it must require qualification before a Qualified Parts List (QPL) can exist in QPD. If the need for qualification on a given specification is canceled or if the specification itself is canceled, no QPL can be created. If a QPL did exist previously, it is archived and is no longer searchable. There is also a possibility that if a specification is active and if qualification is also required, no QPL has yet been published.
If no result is found based on a government designation search, that product may not have been published, it may have been removed from the QPD, the specification may no longer require qualification, or the specification may have been canceled. Where a manufacturer designation search does not yield the expected result, these same reasons may apply. Additionally, when unable to locate a manufacturer product, if the source (manufacturer, distributor, or plant) does not exist, or if that source has been removed from the QPD, no such part will be found. Consider also that while a part designation itself may be valid, if the part does not require qualification, that part will not be cataloged in QPD.

Sourcing and Qualifications
The Sourcing and Qualifications Division is organized into four (4) Branches each assigned management responsibility for different technologies. DLA Land and Maritime-VQC handles primarily microelectronics; DLA Land and Maritime-VQH is assigned responsibility to manage hybrid microcircuits; DLA Land and Maritime-VQP primarily is assigned responsibility to manage passive electronic and construction items and DLA Land and Maritime-VQE is assigned responsibility for semiconductors, printed wiring boards, and electron tubes.
These Branches manage over 225 Qualification Listings in 15 Federal Supply Groups (FSGs) and in more than 40 Federal Stock Classes (FSCs). We annually review and perform disposition over 10,500 technical evaluations consisting of test reports, qualifications, retentions, and design changes. The branches also perform over 300 facility and line audits to determine compliance with the qualification requirements, verify product performance, quality and reliability, assist in interpreting technical specifications, and determining manufacturing capabilities.
