The resultant IQC/LTC could potentially range from 3 to 5 years in length. If commercial, please provide documentation to support commerciality. Spreadsheet: Only the active NSNs listed on the spreadsheet will be priced at the time of initial contract award. The inactive NSNs will be included in the contract but will not be priced prior to the award. These inactive NSNs will not be activated until demands for those items materialize. For inactive items, the technical team will review and verify sole source status at the delivery order level or as the NIINs are added on. The activation of an NSN will depend on a successful determination that the price for that NSN is fair and reasonable.
