The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is initiating a market survey concerning a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for specific items. Suppliers are invited to complete the survey to inform a beneficial solicitation. Key areas of inquiry include the company's size classification, interest in pursuing a long-term contract, and preferences regarding delivery terms. The questionnaire also asks about production limitations, cost and pricing data expectations, and the commerciality of the items. Suppliers must indicate whether they can provide necessary documentation to establish fair pricing. The DLA emphasizes the importance of communication to create contracts advantageous to both the government and contractors. Responses are requested within seven business days to facilitate an informed acquisition strategy.

The Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet is a governmental document designed for gathering market data on specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs), focusing on items identified for acquisition through long-term contracts. The spreadsheet includes sections for government-supplied information alongside contractor fill-in data, detailing aspects such as nomenclature, CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) codes, approved companies or sources, and NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes. Specifically, it prompts contractors to provide estimated annual demand quantities, part numbers, delivery timelines, and any quantity-sensitive designations. The form is structured to ascertain whether minimum order quantities apply and to evaluate potential pricing for varying quantities. The overarching goal of the document is to evaluate available suppliers and pricing structures effectively, ensuring compliance with the federal regulations outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This comprehensive market research aids in the government's procurement efforts by enabling a thorough assessment of supplier capabilities, demand forecasting, and cost analysis, ultimately enhancing decision-making in federal contracting processes.
