The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a market research survey for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long-Term Contract (LTC) for various items. This survey aims to gather information from potential suppliers to create a realistic solicitation. It covers general company information, interest in LTCs, pricing data requirements (including certified cost or pricing data for contracts over $2,000,000), commercial item status, and delivery limitations. The DLA encourages open communication and feedback to develop an acquisition strategy beneficial to both warfighters and contractors. Responses are requested within 10 business days.
The "Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet" is a government document, dated October 3, 2016, designed for market research related to potential long-term contracts. It is labeled as "Source Selection Information" and is for "Official Use Only," adhering to FAR 2.101 and 3.104. The spreadsheet lists specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for "POWER SUPPLY" items, including their NIIN, Nomenclature, CAGE, Approved Company/Source (PTS EXPEDITIONARY), AMC AMSC, NAICS Code, Part Number/Drawing Number, and Estimated Annual Demand Quantity (ADQ). It also contains sections for contractors to fill in information regarding price break ranges, delivery times, minimum quantities, whether items are quantity sensitive, if the contractor is the actual manufacturer, details about the manufacturer, GSA Schedule information, and willingness to provide cost or pricing data. Furthermore, it probes whether the NSN/NIIN is a commercial item, if unredacted commercial invoices or drawings for an IGCE can be supplied, if a published catalog or price list is available, if FOB Destination is acceptable, if items are inventoried, if they contain hazardous material, willingness to submit to required testing, and ability to provide STD-COM PKG with MIL-STD-129 Markings, along with unit weight and cube size.
