DLA award prices with price-reasonableness review codes

Award lines carrying DLA's own price-reasonableness reviewer and price-type codes, alongside awarded unit price, quantity, unit of issue, awardee CAGE, and contract number.

Review codes are served raw and never decoded — DLA publishes no meaning. This is a different file from Contract History (price_basis="dla_foia_price_reasonableness_netprice"); never blend the two nets.

Source & conduct: Source: DLA FOIA Price Reasonableness bulk file. Owner browser download. Export-control carve-out applied at ingestion.

There is a portal for this: DIBIQ puts DLA award and item context in front of a bidder as pages rather than tool calls. Same subscription, same refusals.

Query parameters

nsnstring

National Stock Number, dashed or bare 13-digit -- both work. This table stores the BARE form; the tool matches either.

niinstring

National Item Identification Number, bare or dashed 9-digit.

cagestring

AWARDEE CAGE code (5-char), exact match, case-insensitive -- who won it.

contract_numberstring

ORDER-level contract number (PIIN), exact match. Dashed or undashed both work.

fscstring

Federal Supply Class (4-digit), exact match. Export-controlled classes are withheld regardless of what is passed here.

price_reviewer_codestring

Raw DLA PRC_RVWR code, exact match. ITS MEANING IS NOT PUBLISHED BY DLA -- filter on it only if you already know what you are asking for, and never explain what the code signifies.

price_type_codestring

Raw DLA PRC_TYPE code, exact match. Same caveat: the meaning is not published by DLA.

award_date_fromstring

ISO date, inclusive lower bound on award_date

award_date_tostring

ISO date, inclusive upper bound on award_date

limitinteger

Max records to return (default 25, max 50)

offsetinteger

Rows to skip before the page starts (0-based, default 0).

The full input schema is served by the MCP server at connection time.
