Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a market research questionnaire from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus) to gather information from potential suppliers regarding items intended for a future Long-Term Contract (LTC) or Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). The goal is to inform the development of a realistic and beneficial solicitation.

• Company Information: Requires company name, CAGE code, contact details, and signature.
• General Questions: Asks about company size, status (small/large business), employee count, SBA classifications, and whether the company is a manufacturer or distributor.
• Long-Term Contract Questions: Assesses interest in an LTC, preferred contract periods, and perceived risk for pricing option years. It also inquires about primary cost drivers for the items.
• Cost or Pricing Data: Inquires about understanding and willingness to provide certified cost or pricing data, past experience with DLA, and ability to obtain subcontractor data.
• Commercial Questions: Seeks information on whether items are considered commercial, willingness to provide proof of commerciality (invoices, sales history, drawings), and availability in published catalogs or price lists.
• Delivery Questions: Asks about production limitations, minimum order quantities/values, phased delivery requirements, and maximum delivery quantities.

Potential bidders must complete and return this questionnaire within 7 business days. The responses will directly influence the structure and requirements of the upcoming solicitation for the specified items. It is crucial for vendors to accurately provide information regarding their capabilities, pricing structures, and understanding of contract requirements, especially concerning cost/pricing data and commercial item definitions, as this will shape the final contract terms.
