The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is seeking potential suppliers for a Long-Term Contract (LTC) through a market research questionnaire. The data gathered will assist in developing a beneficial solicitation for specific items listed in an attached spreadsheet. Suppliers are asked to complete the questionnaire within seven business days, providing information on their business size, employee count, and classification under the Small Business Administration.
Key sections include inquiries about interest in an LTC, agreement on contract duration (a three-year base period with optional extensions), the potential for volume pricing, and recommendations for adjustments to the LTC project. The questionnaire also addresses requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data, including whether suppliers have previously provided such data to DLA.
Moreover, suppliers must indicate if any items are considered commercial or Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) and provide relevant evidence supporting pricing reasonableness. Questions about production limitations, minimum order quantities, and additional inputs for developing the Acquisition Strategy are also included. This initiative aligns with DLA's goal to create advantageous contracts for both suppliers and the military.
The document outlines market research for a long-term contract, specifically focusing on the NSN 6625016189787 for an electrical test set provided by Silvertronic Limited. It includes essential government-supplied information such as the contractor’s details, CAGE code, and NAICS code. The spreadsheet highlights estimated annual demand, planned delivery timelines, and manufacturer details, indicating the minimum and maximum quantity requirements alongside price break ranges for various order quantities. The purpose of this document is to gather comprehensive contractor information to aid in federal procurement processes for the specified item. It serves as a critical component of the market research necessary to support decisions related to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and federal grants, ensuring compliance with sourcing regulations and promoting transparency in government contracting initiatives.
