The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support, under the Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD), is conducting market research for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long Term Contract (LTC) for various items. This questionnaire seeks information from potential suppliers on company size and status, interest in an LTC, preferred contract base periods, and willingness to provide quantity price breaks. It also addresses requirements for certified Cost or Pricing Data for contracts over $2,000,000 and the ability to provide evidence of commerciality for items. Additionally, the survey inquires about production limitations, minimum delivery order quantities, and requests any additional input to assist in developing the acquisition strategy and solicitation. Suppliers are asked to return the survey within five business days.
The "Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet" is a government document, dated January 2, 2018, classified as "Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Official Use Only." Its purpose is to gather market research for potential long-term contracts. The spreadsheet is designed for contractors to provide information on various National Stock Numbers (NSNs), including nomenclature, CAGE code, approved company/source, AMS, AMSC, NAICS Code, part number/drawing number, and estimated annual demand quantity (ADQ). Additionally, contractors are required to fill in details regarding quantity price break ranges, estimated delivery times, maximum quantity for delivery, whether a minimum quantity applies, if items are quantity sensitive, and if they are the actual manufacturer. If not the manufacturer, the contractor must provide the name and CAGE code of the company that makes the item. The document lists two specific NSNs as examples: 2940-014113962 (AIR CLEANER, INTAKE) and 2510-014215131 (PLATE, SKIRTING, VEHICLE SUSPENSION), along with associated companies like BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., AMZ Alabama Inc., and Donaldson Company, Inc.
