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. The survey, issued by the Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD), seeks information from potential suppliers regarding their company size, classification, and interest in an LTC. It also addresses preferences for contract base periods, potential quantity price breaks, and recommendations for items to be added or deleted. Furthermore, the survey delves into the supplier's 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. It also assesses whether items are commercial per FAR 2.101(b) and if the supplier can provide evidence of commercial sales to verify price reasonableness. Finally, the survey inquires about production limitations and minimum delivery order quantities for the items, aiming to gather comprehensive feedback to develop an advantageous acquisition strategy and solicitation.
