REPLY TO: DLA Weapons Support (614) 307-9891 / Santiago.DiazCapurro@dla.mil

SUBJECT: Indefinite Delivery Contract Market Research Questionnaire

This is NOT a request for quote/proposal. DLA Weapons Support is considering a solicitation and subsequent award of an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC), a type of Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC)*.

*Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC): These contracts are intended for use with item(s)/NSN(s) for which recurring demands are anticipated, and as a means of reducing the time and expense required to solicit and make repetitive individual awards. Establishment of an IQC (called a “Basic Contract”) will permit future Purchase Requests (PR) to be awarded by issuing a delivery order against the basic contract. All terms, conditions, and pricing are negotiated/awarded up front with the basic, allowing the delivery order to be issued quickly. Most contract terms will be for a one (1) up to a three (3) year base period with the possibility of two (2), up to four (4) option years. The item(s)/NSN(s) on the contract will be ordered on each delivery order (DO) on an as needed basis. The delivery order quantities are estimated based on previous and forecasted demands, and the contractor will be guaranteed a minimum order value as specified in the contract.

The following item(s) are being considered for possible solicitation:
