About this file

This is a Market Research Questionnaire issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support to gather supplier information for a potential long-term contract (LTC) or Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) solicitation. The questionnaire, dated October 22, 2026, with Project Number CL26161023, requests that potential suppliers provide detailed responses within five business days of receipt.

The questionnaire covers six primary areas: general company information (size, business status, manufacturing capability, and SBA classifications); long-term contract preferences (including willingness to pursue an LTC, preferred base period terms, quantity price breaks, and item recommendations); certified cost or pricing data requirements per FAR Subpart 15.4 (with particular emphasis on applicability for contracts over $10,000,000); commercial item classification and evidence of prior commercial sales; delivery capabilities and production limitations; and additional strategic input. For distributors or dealers, the form requires information about the actual manufacturer, including their CAGE code, employee count, and SBA classification status. The questionnaire specifically notes that for contract actions estimated over $10,000,000, Certified Cost or Pricing Data may be required, and contractors are encouraged to review DCAA checklists and maintain comprehensive documentation. Related NSNs focus on door and access utility items (NAICS Code 332510 – Hardware Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Suppliers should return completed surveys to Kristina Blanton at Kristina.Blanton@dla.mil by June 8, 2026.
