Quick Summary
The DLA Land and Maritime is conducting market research (Sources Sought) to identify qualified companies capable of supplying RELAY ASSEMBLY (NSN 5945015018715) for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). This RFI aims to gather information to inform a future solicitation, which could range from 1 to 5 years. Responses are due March 6, 2029.
Purpose & Scope
This is a Request for Information (RFI) and not a solicitation for quotes or proposals, issued in accordance with FAR Part 10. The primary goal is to identify potential sources for a RELAY ASSEMBLY (NSN 5945015018715) and gather market data to develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation. The DLA is considering an IQC award, potentially lasting 1 to 5 years. The resultant solicitation may be issued under FAR Part 13.5 (Simplified Procedures for Commercial Products) or FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiations).
Submission Requirements
Interested firms must submit a brief capabilities statement demonstrating their ability to provide the items. This statement should include:
- Company name, address, point of contact (telephone, fax, email).
- Company DUNS, CAGE Code, business size, and socio-economic classification.
- Name and part number of the manufacturer whose product would be supplied (city and state).
- Brochures, descriptive literature, and commercial invoices (if considered a commercial item).
Additionally, respondents must complete and return the attached Market Survey Questionnaire and the Market Research LTC Spreadsheet NSN info.xlsx. The questionnaire covers company details, interest in LTC, cost/pricing data, commerciality, and delivery capabilities. The spreadsheet requires bidders to fill in information regarding quantity ranges, delivery times, and manufacturer details for NSN 5945015018715. Negative responses are also requested.
Commerciality & Data
Proof of commerciality, such as commercial invoices showing sales history to non-government entities, is crucial. Without adequate proof, the acquisition may proceed as a non-commercial (FAR Part 15) procurement, potentially requiring Certified Cost and Pricing Data.
