The "Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet" (ver. 2, January 2018) is a government-supplied document for market research related to long-term contracts. It is classified as "Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Official Use Only." The spreadsheet requires contractors to fill in specific information for various National Stock Numbers (NSNs). For each NSN, contractors must provide the Nomenclature, CAGE, Approved Company/Source, AMS, AMSC, NAICS Code, Part Number/Drawing Number, and Estimated Annual Demand Quantity (ADQ). Additionally, the form requests details on Quantity Price Break Ranges, Estimated Delivery in days, Maximum Quantity, Maximum Quantity Delivery, whether a Minimum Quantity Applies, if the items are Quantity Sensitive, and if the contractor is the actual Manufacturer of the NSN. It also includes a section for the name and CAGE Code of the company that manufactures the item for the contractor.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a preliminary market research questionnaire for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long Term Contract (LTC). The survey seeks information from potential suppliers regarding their interest in an LTC, company size and status (e.g., small business classification, manufacturer/distributor), and preferences for contract base periods. It also queries suppliers on their understanding and ability to provide certified Cost or Pricing Data or Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data, especially for contracts exceeding $2,000,000. Additionally, the DLA is interested in whether items qualify as commercial per FAR 2.101(b) and if suppliers can provide evidence of commercial sales to verify price reasonableness. The questionnaire also covers delivery limitations and requests any additional input to help shape the acquisition strategy and solicitation development, aiming for contracts beneficial to both the Warfighter and contractors.
