TRUCK PARTS (17 NSNs)

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a market research questionnaire from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime. 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 in this text).

The questionnaire covers several areas:

• General Company Information: Size, status (small/large business), employee count, SBA classifications, and whether the company is a manufacturer or distributor.
• Long-Term Contract Specifics: Interest in pursuing an LTC, preferred contract duration (base period and option years), and potential quantity price breaks.
• Cost or Pricing Data: Understanding and willingness to provide certified cost or pricing data, past experience with DLA, and ability to obtain data from subcontractors or manufacturers.
• Commerciality: Whether the items are considered commercial items per FAR 2.101(b) and willingness to provide evidence of commercial sales to verify price reasonableness.
• Delivery: Potential production limitations and whether minimum order quantities or dollar values would apply.

Potential bidders are requested to complete this survey within 10 business days of receipt. The information provided will directly influence the development of the future solicitation. Responding allows vendors to provide input on contract structure, pricing, and item suitability, potentially shaping the final requirements and ensuring the solicitation is advantageous to both the Warfighter and the Contractor.
