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 five National Stock Numbers (NSNs). The survey aims to gather information from potential suppliers to create a realistic and beneficial solicitation. It covers company details, experience with government LTCs, preferred contract structures, pricing strategies (e.g., pre-negotiated vs. Economic Price Adjustment), and risk assessment for pricing option years. The DLA also seeks input on cost or pricing data requirements, commercial item status, FOB point, packaging, delivery capabilities, and potential environmental practices related to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The deadline for survey submission is December 18, 2025.

The survey also addresses requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data, commercial item determination, FOB point, packaging, delivery, and potential First Article Testing.

The “Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet” is a government document used for market research related to federal government RFPs. It lists National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for various items, including clutch disks, frame sections, wheel hubs, ejector case retainers, and access covers, along with their nomenclature, AMS/AMSC codes, NAICS codes, and estimated annual demand quantities. The spreadsheet also includes sections for contractors to provide information such as quantity price break ranges, estimated delivery times, whether minimum quantities apply, and if items are quantity-sensitive. Additionally, it asks contractors to confirm if they are the actual manufacturer, if the item is on a GSA Schedule, their willingness to supply cost/pricing data, commercial item status, and ability to provide unredacted invoices, drawings, or price lists. Further questions cover FOB destination acceptability, inventory status, hazardous material content, willingness to undergo testing, and ability to provide STD-COM PKG with MIL-STD-129 markings, along with unit weight and cube size. The document is marked as “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Official Use Only,” indicating its sensitive nature in the procurement process.

This document outlines packaging and procurement requirements for various National Stock Numbers (NSNs), including clutch disks, vehicular frame sections, road wheel hub assemblies, bomb rack ejector cartridge retainers, and access covers. Key requirements include adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, MIL-STD-129 for marking, and RP001 for palletization, alongside specific drawing and revision numbers for each item.
