The "Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet" serves as a government document for assessing sources related to specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for various automotive components, specifically disc brake calipers and rotors. Featured in the spreadsheet are critical details including NSN, nomenclature, approved companies or sources, and relevant codes such as CAGE and NAICS.
The document highlights approved suppliers, namely WILWOOD ENGINEERING and AM GENERAL LLC, while listing estimated annual demand quantities and specifying various delivery requirements. The contractor section collects additional information regarding order quantities, delivery times, the identity of manufacturers, and any quantity sensitivity attributes.
Overall, this document facilitates market research to inform governmental procurement strategies by compiling essential contractor information, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations (FAR), and streamlining long-term contract decisions for automotive parts integral to government operations.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research for the potential solicitation of an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC or LTC) with suppliers for specific items outlined in an attached spreadsheet. They request interested suppliers to complete a market survey within five business days to inform a beneficial solicitation process. Key sections of the survey include inquiries about the company's size and status, interest in a Long-Term Contract, ability to provide Certified Cost or Pricing Data, and whether the items qualify as commercial, among others. The DLA aims to gather comprehensive input regarding production capabilities, delivery considerations, and any recommendations for items related to the contract. It emphasizes the importance of open communication to develop an advantageous acquisition strategy for both the Warfighter and contractors. This information is pivotal for creating an effective procurement strategy that aligns with government contracting standards and objectives.
