The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a market survey to gather information for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long-Term Contract (LTC) for various items. The survey requests data from potential suppliers regarding their company size, Small Business Administration classification, and whether they are a manufacturer or distributor. It also inquires about their interest in an LTC, preferred contract base periods, and willingness to provide quantity price breaks. Additionally, the DLA seeks information on understanding and providing Certified Cost or Pricing Data, the commerciality of items, and any production limitations or minimum delivery order quantities. The DLA encourages open communication and feedback to develop an effective acquisition strategy and solicitation, aiming for contracts beneficial to both the Warfighter and the Contractor.
