The DLA Land and Maritime has issued a Market Research Questionnaire regarding a requirement for NSN 4810-017062567, specifically for linear valves from Marotta Controls, Inc. The purpose of the survey is to gather information from potential suppliers to inform a fixed-price solicitation. Suppliers are requested to submit their responses by October 11, 2024. The questionnaire covers various sections, including supplier classification (e.g., manufacturer or distributor), company size, registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), and ability to provide Certified Cost or Pricing Data if needed. Additionally, questions relate to pricing sensitivity, delivery capabilities, and commerciality of the item, including questions about packaging and inspection procedures. Understanding the suppliers' capacities and readiness to fulfill government requirements, including pricing, delivery timelines, and potential testing obligations, is critical. The information gathered will aid in determining whether to set aside the solicitation for small businesses and assure compliance with federal regulations. This initiative reflects the government's intent to establish a comprehensive understanding of the market landscape for this specific requirement, optimizing the procurement process.
