The Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet, dated January 2, 2018, is a government-supplied document for contractors to provide information on various items. This spreadsheet serves as a tool for market research, likely for federal government RFPs or grants. It requires contractors to fill in details such as National Stock Number (NSN), nomenclature, CAGE code, approved company/source, NAICS code, part/drawing number, estimated annual demand quantity (ADQ), and quantity price break ranges. Additionally, contractors must indicate estimated delivery times, maximum quantities, and whether minimum or quantity-sensitive requirements apply. The document also asks if the contractor is the actual manufacturer and, if not, to provide the name and CAGE code of the manufacturer. The repeated sections emphasize the need for detailed information across multiple items, indicating a comprehensive market research effort for long-term contracts.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a market research questionnaire for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long Term Contract (LTC) for specific items. This survey aims to gather information from potential suppliers to develop a realistic solicitation. Key areas of inquiry include company size and status (e.g., small business classifications, manufacturer/dealer), interest in pursuing an LTC, agreement with a three-year base period with single option years, potential for quantity price breaks, and recommendations for items to add or delete from the LTC project. The questionnaire also addresses understanding and willingness to provide certified Cost or Pricing Data or Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data, especially for contracts over $2,000,000, and the ability to provide commercial sales evidence to support price reasonableness for commercial items. Finally, it probes production limitations, minimum delivery order quantities, and invites additional input to help DLA develop its acquisition strategy.
