DLA Land and Maritime is conducting a market research survey for potential suppliers regarding a Long-Term Contract (LTC) for various items specified in an attached spreadsheet. Suppliers are requested to complete the questionnaire to assist in developing a beneficial solicitation. The survey inquires about the supplier's business size, classification by the Small Business Administration (SBA), interest in the LTC, and ability to meet delivery and pricing requirements. Key areas address whether the items qualify for quantity price breaks, the potential requirement for certified cost or pricing data, and commercial item definitions under FAR guidelines. The document emphasizes the importance of clear communication and collaboration to establish contracts that benefit both the military and contractors. Lastly, suppliers are invited to provide any additional feedback to enhance the acquisition strategy and solicitation process. The response deadline is within five business days of receipt.

The "Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet" outlines a structured approach for gathering supplier information pertinent to a specific National Stock Number (NSN), specifically for a supplemental armor product. The document mandates contractors to fill in various data points, including the nomenclature, CAGE codes, company names, and relevant codes such as AMS, AMSC, and NAICS. Key inquiries focus on estimated annual demand, price break ranges based on quantities, delivery timelines, and specifications on minimum order quantities. The spreadsheet serves as an official resource for market analysis, aiding procurement strategies while ensuring compliance with federal regulations outlined in FAR 2.101 and 3.104. By consolidating contractor input, this tool aims to facilitate effective sourcing decisions and establish informed long-term contractual relationships. It emphasizes the importance of identifying actual manufacturers and evaluating whether items are quantity sensitive, thus gathering essential market insights for government procurement needs.
