About this file
This is a Long-Term Contract Market Research Questionnaire issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime on June 16, 2026, for Filter Element, Fluid items listed in an attached spreadsheet. The DLA is conducting market research to identify qualified suppliers and gather information to develop a realistic solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a one-year base period and optional renewal years (not to exceed five years total). Responses are requested within seven business days.
The questionnaire solicits critical information from potential contractors regarding company size and classification, interest in pursuing the contract, pricing risk assessment across option years, raw material cost drivers, quantity price breaks, and delivery capabilities. For contracts potentially exceeding $2,000,000 in total value across all contract years, certified cost or pricing data may be required; the DLA requests that interested firms indicate their willingness and ability to provide such data and, if applicable, obtain it from manufacturers (for distributors/dealers). Regarding commerciality, the DLA emphasizes that only the government can determine whether items qualify as commercial items and whether prices are fair and reasonable, and requests that suppliers provide supporting documentation such as un-redacted commercial sales history, drawings for independent government cost estimates, published price lists, or commercial catalog listings. Respondents must complete both the market survey questionnaire and an attached spreadsheet, and submit their responses to Edwin.caraballo@dla.mil. This is a market research announcement only and does not constitute a binding contract opportunity.
