About this file
This is a market research questionnaire used by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime to gather information from potential suppliers regarding a proposed long-term contract (LTC) for NSN 6135-014612915, a nonrechargeable battery pack. The estimated annual demand is 511 units, and the NAICS code is 335910 with a business size standard of 1,250 employees. Interested suppliers must complete and return the questionnaire to Samantha Simms at samantha.simms@dla.mil by February 9, 2026.
The questionnaire requests comprehensive information across six sections: general company details including size, business status, and manufacturer/distributor classification; contract preference questions regarding a three-year base period with option years, quantity price breaks, and preferred contract type (firm fixed price with escalation ranges, fixed price with economic price adjustment, or fixed price with price redetermination); certified cost or pricing data requirements for contracts estimated over $2,000,000; commercial item status and supporting documentation such as catalogs, invoices, drawings, and public availability proof; production limitations and minimum delivery order quantities; and additional strategic input. Suppliers are encouraged to skip sections that do not apply to their business. The questionnaire emphasizes DLA's intent to develop acquisitions that benefit both the warfighter and contractor through open communication and detailed feedback.
