The document is a Long Term Contract Market Research NSN Spreadsheet, intended for official use only, focusing on gathering contractor and government supplied information. It details data related to specific National Stock Numbers (NSN), including contract specifications such as nomenclature, contractor CAGE codes, annual demand quantities, expected delivery timelines, and manufacturer details. Each entry in the spreadsheet enables a structured assessment of sources and manufacturers for procurement needs. The spreadsheet emphasizes compliance with federal regulations, specifically referencing the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation), and requires contractors to confirm their capability to produce the specified items, including identifying any quantity sensitivity or minimum order requirements. This document serves as an essential tool for market research in federal contracting, facilitating the identification of suppliers and ensuring compliance with government procurement standards.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research for an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) related to specific items listed in a provided spreadsheet. They seek input from potential suppliers to create a realistic solicitation. The questionnaire encompasses general information about the suppliers, their size and classification by the Small Business Administration, and their interest in pursuing a long-term contract. Suppliers are also asked about cost pricing data, the commercial status of the items, and delivery considerations. The DLA aims for contracts that benefit both military operations and contractors, encouraging transparent communication for effective acquisition strategies. Timely responses are requested within 10 business days, ensuring the agency gathers crucial feedback for its contract development process. Ultimately, this survey serves to refine the DLA's procurement strategies while promoting small business participation in government contracts.
