The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a market survey for a potential Long-Term Contract (LTC) for various items. The DLA seeks information from potential suppliers regarding their company size, classification, and interest in an LTC, including preferred contract lengths and pricing adjustment methods. The survey also addresses requirements for cost or pricing data, commercial item status, and willingness to provide supporting evidence. Additionally, it explores the advantages and disadvantages of consolidating requirements into a single solicitation and inquires about production limitations and minimum delivery order quantities. The DLA aims to gather feedback to develop a beneficial acquisition strategy and solicitation for both the warfighter and contractors.
The "Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet" is a government document, marked as "Source Selection Information," used for market research related to long-term contracts. Updated in January 2018, it lists various National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for items like "HEADSET-MICROPHONE," "LOUDSPEAKER SUB-ASS," "LOUDSPEAKER-CONTROL," "COVER,ELECTRICAL CO," and "JACK BOX." For each NSN, the spreadsheet provides government-supplied information such as nomenclature, CAGE code, approved companies/sources (e.g., DRS Technologies Canada Ltd., Sennheiser Electronic Corp., Pivotal Power Inc.), AMS/AMSC codes, NAICS codes (primarily 334310, 334417, 334412), and maximum quantities. It also includes sections for contractors to fill in details regarding minimum quantity applicability, item quantity sensitivity, whether they are the actual manufacturer, and the name and CAGE code of their supplier. The document aims to gather information from potential contractors for these specific items, including estimated annual demand quantity, part numbers, and delivery times, to inform long-term contracting decisions.
