- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. DESC issues Solicitation SP0600-04-R-0106 for the free issuance of 500 fuel purchase credit cards permitting US Government employees to obtain an estimated 60,000 gallons of Premium Unleaded Gasoline, NSN 9130-01-485-0982, EN 228, Line Item 002-27; an estimated 40,000 gallons of Diesel Fuel, NSN 9140-01-493-5556, EN 590, Line Item 002-13; and an estimated 500 gallons of Motor Oil, Name Brand Specification, Line Item 002-C5 from the contractor’s service stations within France. The card system should have the capability to separate fuel purchase data from motor oil purchase data, bill fuel to one payment office and bill motor oil to another, and have security procedures to prohibit the purchase of other goods and services. The invoice data should be reported at Level III, invoices should indicate the quantity purchased during each transaction, and any taxes should be excluded or shown separated. Card usage should be limited to France, but not geographically limited within France. Card usage is anticipated on major roadways between the German border and lower Normandy and within the lower Normandy area. All U.S. military and civilian personnel of the U.S. government who operate official U.S. government owned/leased vehicles or military vehicles and posses valid cards and official dispatch orders for operation of said vehicles at time of delivery will be authorized to use these cards. Cards should be printed with a “TF LOG 60” identified on the card and on invoices. Solicitation SP0600-04-R-0106 is being issued as a request for proposals and constitutes the only solicitation. The performance period is from 15 May 2004 to 30 June 2004. The government shall not be liable for transactions made after the expiration date of the contract. The NAICS code is 424720 and the small business size standard is 500. DESC may conduct discussions with offerors submitting proposals under subject solicitation, but due to time constraints it anticipates awarding a contract based on the initial offer submitted. Each offer should be submitted on the most favorable terms, from a price and technical standpoint. Award will be made to a single card provider and items will be awarded on an all-or-none basis. Award decisions will be based on a Best Value determination of three factors: technical proposal (i.e., Charge Card System capabilities and service station network meeting or exceeding DESC’s needs), price and past performance. Offerors are advised that the Government is more interested in obtaining quality performance than lowest price and may make award to other than the lowest priced offeror. However, the Government will not pay a price premium that it considers disproportionate to the benefits associated with the offeror’s technical proposal or record of past performance. In determining best overall value, the Government will evaluate and rate each offeror’s technical proposal and past performance based on pre-established standards. The technical proposal is of greater importance than price and past performance combined. Between price and past performance, price is of greater importance. The offer selected as best value will represent the best tradeoff to the Government among technical proposal, price, and past performance. The provision at FAR 52.212-1 - Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. Offer packages should include along with prices, 1) a description of the credit card’s capabilities and extent to which the credit card can meet the stated requirements; 2) a statement of the timeframe from contract award to distribution of cards to the customer, 3) an explanation of the offeror’s card distribution method and procedures for replacing lost or stolen cards, 4) identification of any replacement, transaction or other fees included in the offer price, and 5) a list or map indicating locations of service stations that accept the cards that are situated along the Germany-to-Normandy roadways and in the lower Normandy area and the service station’s hours of operation when they accept credit cards. Prices should be in Euros per liter. Offerors are advised to include a completed copy of FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications--Commercial Items, with their offer. The provisions at FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The Offer Submission Package and the following clauses are available in full text (see reference package posted to the France PC&S Homepage): B19.02, Economic Price Adjustment (Overseas), I1.04, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders – Commercial Items, I1.05, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Applicable to Defense Acquisitions of Commercial Items, and L2.05-5, Instructions To Offerors – Commercial Items (PCS). All documents associated with Solicitation SP0600-04-R-0106 can be found at the identified Web address. The Government contemplates award of a Requirements Type, Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment contract resulting from this solicitation. After award, the contract price will escalate / de-escalate in accordance with Clause B19.02, Economic Price Adjustment (Overseas)(DESC Aug 2000) as stated in the reference package. Cards must be no fees. Offer prices for fuel should be based on the reference prices in effect on April 28, 2004. Reference prices will be based on the company’s official retail price postings at the pump. Offerors must submit their appropriate base reference price with the offer. Proposals must be received no later than 3:00 p.m., local U.S. time, Fort Belvoir, VA, on April 29, 2004. Please submit your offer via fax addressed to the following: Attn. Bid Custodian / DESC-CPC / RM 3815 / fax# (703) 767-8506. When submitting your offers, please note the solicitation number SP0600-04-R-0106 on the fax. Any contract awarded to a contractor who at the time of awards was suspended, debarred, or ineligible for receipt of contracts with Government agencies or in receipt of a proposed debarment from any Government agency is voidable at the option of the Government.
