The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support - Columbus is conducting a market survey to gather information from potential suppliers for an upcoming Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). The survey, issued on March 18, 2026, and due by March 25, 2026, aims to develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation. It covers general interest questions regarding company size, status (Small/Large Business, Manufacturer/Dealer), SBA classifications, and interest in long-term contracts (up to five years). The survey also addresses commercial aspects, including product classification, pricing, and sales history. Additionally, it queries preferences for Free On Board (FOB) points, delivery times, and the ability to provide certified Cost or Pricing Data. The DLA seeks feedback to optimize contract length and terms for both the government and contractors.

The document is a market research spreadsheet for a Long Term Contract (LTC) focused on various National Stock Numbers (NSNs), specifically detailing a "WINDOW WASHER ASSEM" (NSN 2540012885298) manufactured by OSHKOSH DEFENSE. This spreadsheet is designed to gather information from contractors regarding their ability to supply specific items. It includes fields for government-supplied information such as NSN, nomenclature, CAGE code, AMSC, and NAICS code, alongside contractor fill-in sections. Contractors are expected to provide details like company name, part/drawing numbers, estimated annual demand quantity (ADQ), price break ranges for various quantities, estimated delivery times, and information on minimum quantities, quantity sensitivity, and whether they are the actual manufacturer. The document is marked as "Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Official Use Only," indicating its role in federal procurement processes, likely for an RFP to establish a long-term supply contract.
