The manuals shall include, at a minimum: operation and service instructions; (11) Warranty: The warranty shall include all hardware and software and cover parts, labor and travel. Period of warranty shall be 12 months from the date of final acceptance by the Government.*** Delivery shall be FOB DESTINATION. The Contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay and bear all charges to the specified point of delivery.*** The Contractor shall deliver all line items to NIST, Building 301, Shipping and Receiving, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-0001.*** NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY: Delivery of the vibrometers is contingent on installation of existing equipment into a new laboratory currently under construction. Estimated timeline for installation of existing equipment is March 2004. It is the Government's intent that the Contractor and Government will mutually agree to a delivery date for the vibrometer systems when the date for installation of existing equipment is known. If the Government and the Contractor cannot agree on a delivery date, the Government will provide the Contractor with a required delivery date which will give the Contractor a reasonable amount of time to complete production of the equipment and schedule delivery. Delivery may take place up to one year after award.*** All equipment shall be delivered and all specifications shall be successfully demonstrated prior to final acceptance and payment by the Government.*** The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this combined synopsis/solicitation to the responsible party whose quotation, conforming to this synopsis/solicitation, offers the best value to the Government, price, and other factors considered. The following will be used to evaluated quotations: Product Specifications, Previous Experience, Past Performance and Price. All criteria, other than price, are more important than price.***PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Offered products must meet all minimum specifications; products exceeding specifications may be evaluated more highly; PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE providing equipment that meets similar requirements. Experience will be evaluated by: (1) Similar contract in the past 3-5 years; (2) How many times the quoter provide vibrometers of this sort; and (3) Is this experience relevant to the vibrometer required by NIST. 3) PAST PERFORMANCE, will be evaluated through reference checks and/or the quoter's recent and relevant past performance on contracts with NIST or its affiliates. Past performance will be evaluated by determining the quoter's demonstrated record of providing commercial items that meet specifications, delivering commercially available items on time, responding to customer inquiries, and being cooperative in effectively solving unforeseen problems.*** The following provisions and clauses apply to this acquisition: PROVISIONS: 52.204-6 Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number; 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items; 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items; 52.219-22 Small Disadvantaged Business Status.
