The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a market research survey (CL25302002) to gather information for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long Term Contract (LTC). This survey targets potential suppliers of specific items, requesting details on company size, SBA classification, and whether they are a manufacturer or distributor. Key areas of inquiry include interest in an LTC, preferred contract base periods, potential for quantity price breaks, and recommendations for item additions or deletions. The DLA also seeks information on suppliers' understanding and ability to provide certified Cost or Pricing Data or Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data, especially for contracts over $2,000,000, and their willingness to provide commercial sales evidence for price reasonableness. Additionally, the survey addresses production limitations and minimum delivery order quantities, aiming to develop a solicitation beneficial to both the Warfighter and contractors.
This government file, titled "Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet" and dated January 2, 2018, is a market research tool designed for long-term contracts. It is classified as "Source Selection Information" under FAR 2.101 and 3.104, indicating its sensitive nature for official use only. The spreadsheet is structured with sections for "Government Supplied Information" and "Contractor Fill-in Information." Key data points include National Stock Numbers (NSN), Nomenclature, CAGE codes of approved companies/sources, AMS and AMSC codes, NAICS codes, part numbers/drawing numbers, and estimated annual demand quantity (ADQ). Contractors are required to provide information regarding quantity price break ranges, estimated delivery days, maximum quantity, whether a minimum quantity applies, if items are quantity sensitive, and if they are the actual manufacturer of the NSN, including the name and CAGE code of the company that makes the item for them.
