Scope of Work

This Sources Sought aims to gather information from potential suppliers for Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, And Track Components. The effort involves two key documents:

  1. Market Survey Questionnaire: This document from DLA Land and Maritime's Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD) seeks comprehensive company information, including size (Large/Small), SBA classifications (e.g., 8(a), Hubzone), and whether the company is a Manufacturer or Distributor. It also inquires about interest in an LTC, preferred contract duration, willingness to provide certified cost or pricing data, commercial item status, and production/delivery limitations.
  2. NSN Information Spreadsheet: This Excel spreadsheet requires bidders to input pricing, delivery times, and manufacturer details for the specified National Stock Number (NSN). Key elements include NSN, Nomenclature, CAGE Code, Approved Company/Source, Part Number, Estimated Annual Demand Quantity (ADQ), Quantity Price Break Ranges, and Estimated Delivery in days.
