The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting preliminary market research for a potential Long-Term Contract (LTC) concerning specific items listed in an attached spreadsheet. They seek supplier input on key questions related to company classification (size, ownership status), interest in pursuing the LTC, proposed contract durations, potential price breaks, and the need for certified cost or pricing data. The survey emphasizes the importance of gathering sufficient information to create a realistic and beneficial solicitation, allowing respondents to skip irrelevant sections.
Additionally, the questionnaire addresses the commerciality of the items, requests documentation for commercial price verification, and inquires about production capabilities, delivery limits, and minimum order requirements. DLA encourages open communication, welcoming any feedback or additional insights that could inform their acquisition strategy and solicitation development. The overarching goal is to ensure that contracts are advantageous for both the military and contractors, promoting effective partnerships and efficient procurement processes.
The Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet is a federal document aimed at gathering data for long-term contracts related to specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs). It includes contractor information, such as CAGE codes and approval status, for parts like "Parts Kit, Pressure." Key details provided are estimated annual demand quantities, quantity price break ranges, estimated delivery timelines, and minimum quantity requirements. The document also identifies whether items are quantity sensitive and if the listed companies are the actual manufacturers of these items. This structured data collection assists in sourcing and procurement decisions within government contracting, facilitating the evaluation of potential suppliers and their capabilities. The spreadsheet is designated for official use only, emphasizing the confidential nature of the contained information.
