    DLA-Aberdeen-26-011 Contractor Questionnaire.docx
    The Contractor Questionnaire is a comprehensive document designed to elicit detailed information from potential contractors regarding their capabilities and past performance. It seeks a company summary, core competencies, and crucial contact information including CAGE and DUNS numbers. The questionnaire delves into past performance with similar manufacturing and supplying efforts, requesting contract details and points of contact. It also assesses the qualifications of engineering staff in designing and producing complex supplies like Installation Kits and computer hardware. Furthermore, it probes experience in identifying test equipment for components used in systems such as the Joint Battle Command – Platform Weapon System, and asks about potential sourcing or manufacturing challenges for kit components. A significant portion focuses on obsolescence management, inquiring about processes, assessment tools, and experience in identifying alternative materials. Finally, the questionnaire evaluates the company's capability to meet US Government delivery requirements, including preferences for long-term and fixed-quantity contracts, and addresses concerns regarding supply chain vendors that could impact delivery schedules.
