Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a market survey distributed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support - Columbus. Its purpose is to gather information from potential suppliers to help the DLA develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for a specific item (detailed in an attached spreadsheet, not provided here). The survey aims to optimize the contract for both the Government and the Contractor.

The survey includes several sections with questions for potential bidders:

• General Interest: Company size and status (large/small, manufacturer/dealer), SBA classifications (if applicable), employee count, parent company information, OEM independence (for dealers), interest in a long-term contract, and willingness to accept specific contract lengths (e.g., five years) and pricing stability.
• Commercial Questions: Whether the item is a commercial product (FAR 2.101(b)), catalog/price list availability, and willingness to provide commercial sales history or proof of fair and reasonable pricing.
• FOB Point Questions: Preference for FOB Origin or Destination, potential price impacts, and acceptability of inspection/acceptance at origin or destination.
• Delivery Questions: Information on maximum/minimum delivery order quantities/dollar values and estimated delivery times.
• Cost or Pricing Data: Understanding and willingness to provide certified cost or pricing data (required for contracts over $2,000,000) and obtaining it from manufacturers if applicable.
• Other Miscellaneous Questions: EDI capability and preferred pricing structures (Firm Fixed Price vs. PPI adjustment).

Potential bidders are requested to complete and return this survey within 5 business days of receipt (by March 25, 2026). The answers will directly influence the development of the upcoming solicitation, including contract length, pricing terms, delivery expectations, and potentially the overall contract structure. Providing accurate information is crucial for shaping a contract that aligns with the bidder's capabilities and the government's needs.
