The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Columbus, Ohio, is conducting a market research survey for NSN 3040011804101, a SHAFT,SHOULDERED, with a quantity of 21. The agency is considering a fixed-price solicitation and seeks information from potential suppliers. The survey, due by March 2nd, 2026, gathers data on company size, business status (manufacturer/distributor, large/small business, and small business classifications), employee numbers, parent companies, and manufacturer details if the respondent is a dealer. It also inquires about SAM registration and FAR/DFARS certifications. Key areas of the survey include price breaks, quantity options (for 21 and 42 units), unit price estimates, economic price adjustment preferences, and primary pricing drivers. The DLA also addresses requirements for certified Cost or Pricing Data for contracts exceeding $2,000,000, emphasizing that it's not required for commercial items but the contracting officer makes the final determination. Commerciality questions per FAR 2.101(b) are prominent, focusing on the ability to provide proof of commercial sales history, published price lists, or drawings for modified items. Additional questions cover FOB points, packaging (STD-COM PKG with MIL-STD-2073-1E Markings), delivery timelines, maximum monthly quantities, minimum delivery order quantities, inspection and acceptance at origin, hazardous materials, precious metals, and Government Furnished Property/Material requirements.
