Please RETURN survey by 3/21/19, to Charles E. Mielke II @ charles.mielkeii@dla.mil This is an acquisition for the purchase of spare parts managed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The Government anticipates issuing an Indefinite Quantity Contract(s) that will permit future Purchase Requests 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. The item on this contract will be ordered on each delivery order (DO) within stated minimum and maximum quantities, and 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 quantity as specified in the contract. As a potential supplier of these items, we are asking that you fill out this market survey to the best of your knowledge so that we can generate a realistic and beneficial solicitation. Contractors shall abide by the terms set forth by the Global Tires Program.

With this announcement a Market Survey spreadsheet will be attached providing more in depth information on the items as well. Please read over the requirements listed on the spreadsheet and fill out the information for this NSN.
