The Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet, dated January 2, 2018, is a government-supplied document for source selection information, marked as "Official Use Only." It is designed for market research related to long-term contracts for specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs), such as NSN 3030014885606 for a V Belt. The spreadsheet requires contractors to fill in details regarding their company, part numbers, estimated annual demand quantity, quantity price break ranges, estimated delivery times, and whether minimum quantities apply or if items are quantity-sensitive. It also asks if the contractor is the actual manufacturer and for the details of the company that makes the item. This document facilitates the collection of crucial supplier information for federal procurement processes.

The Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD) is conducting market research for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long Term Contract (LTC) for items including NSN 3030014885606, V Belt.

It also addresses requirements for certified cost or pricing data, commercial item status, willingness to provide evidence of commercial sales, and delivery limitations. The DLA Weapons Support aims to gather comprehensive feedback to develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation advantageous to both warfighters and contractors.
