Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a market research questionnaire from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD). Its purpose is to gather information from potential suppliers to help DLA develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC or LTC) for specific items listed in an attached spreadsheet (not provided here). Bidders are requested to complete this survey to aid in the solicitation development process.

The questionnaire covers several areas:

• Company Information: Name, CAGE Code, contact details.
• General Questions: Business size and status (Large/Small, SBA classifications), number of employees, manufacturer or distributor status, and manufacturer details if applicable.
• Long Term Contract (LTC) Related Questions: Interest in an LTC, preferred contract period (base + options), perceived risk for pricing option years, primary raw material drivers for pricing, potential for quantity price breaks, and suggestions for adding/deleting items.
• Cost or Pricing Data: Understanding and willingness to provide certified cost or pricing data, past experience with DLA, and ability to obtain subcontractor data.
• Commercial Questions: Whether items are considered commercial per FAR 2.101(b), willingness to provide proof of commerciality (invoices, sales history, drawings), and availability of published catalogs or price lists.
• Delivery Questions: Production limitations, minimum delivery order quantities/values, phased delivery requirements, and maximum delivery quantities.

This questionnaire is crucial for potential bidders to understand DLA's market research approach for an upcoming LTC. Completing it allows vendors to influence the solicitation's structure, requirements, and terms. It also prompts vendors to consider their capabilities, pricing strategies, and willingness to provide specific data (like cost or pricing data, or commercial sales history) which will be critical for proposal preparation if a solicitation is issued. The deadline for returning the survey is 7 business days from receipt.
