- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for noncommercial item prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 13, 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. Solicitation number N00167-05-Q-5207 applies and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The requirement is set-aside for small business concerns 100%. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) intends to negotiate an award with VXI Technology, Irvine, California 92614, on a sole source basis for a VXI Digital Signal Processing System. The Model Instrumentation System (MIS) used on the Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) underwater test range must be expanded to support planned acoustical tests. MIS was initially developed in 1999 using Hewlett Packard?s (HP) E 1432 digitizing and source modules. Since that time HP has sold this line of equipment to VXI Technology where the product continues to be supported and upgraded. VXI Technology now calls the module a VT1432B. In the development of MIS, the Navy invested approximately 2.5 work-years of software development in programming the VT1432B modules with a value of $362K and therefore an award other than to VXI Technology would result in a substantial duplication in costs to the Government. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2001-27 as well as DCN 20041512. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334515 and the business size standard is 500 employees.

CAR-L01 NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE SUPPLIERS (OCT 2003) (a) Past performance for this procurement will be evaluated using the Navy's Red/Yellow/Green (RYG) Program. RYG is authorized by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Acquisition) for use in the acquisition of supplies and services used to build, maintain, and operate the Fleet. (b) The Government reserves the right to award to the supplier whose quote represents the best value to the Government. As such, the basis for award will include an evaluation of each supplier?s past performance history for the Federal Supply Class(s) or Service Code(s) (FSCs) of the supplies and services being purchased. The price to be considered in determining best value will be the evaluated price after application of Technical Evaluation Adjustments (TEAs). (c) The procedures described in the clause entitled "Additional Evaluation Factor for Consideration of Past Performance--Navy Red/Yellow/Green Program (APR 1999)" will be used to assist in determining the best value for the Government. CAR-M01 ADDITIONAL EVALUATION FACTOR FOR CONSIDERATION OF PAST PERFORMANCE?NAVY RED/YELLOW/GREEN PROGRAM (APR 1999) (a) This procurement is subject to the Navy's Red/Yellow/Green (RYG) Program, authorized by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) for use by participating activities during the acquisition of supplies and services used to build, maintain, and operate the Fleet. (b) The purpose of RYG is to assist contracting personnel during source selection to determine the best value for the Government. The program uses accumulated supplier past performance data to classify each supplier?s performance by Federal Supply Class(es) or Service Code(s) (FSCs) as either red (high risk), yellow (moderate risk), green (low risk), or neutral (no risk established). (c) To assist in source selection, a monetary assessment in the form of a Technical Evaluation Adjustment (TEA) is added to each supplier?s quote having a red or yellow classification! for the FSC involved. The dollar amount of the red or yellow TEA assessment is based on the cost to the Government of effecting additional actions required to assure performance by a supplier with an unsatisfactory performance history for the FSC(s) involved. No TEA is assessed for a supplier having either a green or a neutral FSC RYG classification. For purposes of the RYG program, a neutral classification is assigned to suppliers who are first time quoters to the Government for the FSC(s) involved, suppliers otherwise having no past performance data in the RYG database for the FSC(s) involved, and suppliers whose past performance data in the RYG database for the FSC(s) involved are over three years old. After consideration of any other pertinent, price-related factors (e.g., transportation charges, first article testing, discount terms), the adjusted price becomes the basis for determining award. A supplier?s FSC RYG classification may change over time as new or revised performance data becomes available. (d) RYG Classifications are summarized as follows: (1) Green is low risk. No performance assurance actions are considered necessary. No TEA will be assessed. (2) Yellow is moderate risk. Additional performance assurance actions are considered necessary. A TEA will be applied to the prospective supplier?s price to reflect the Government?s estimated additional costs. (3) Red is high risk. Significant additional performance assurance requirements are considered necessary. A TEA will be applied to the prospective supplier?s price to reflect the Government?s estimated additional costs. (4) Neutral is no risk established. No TEA is assessed; nevertheless, additional performance assurance requirements may be considered necessary to assure quality and on-time delivery. (e) RYG classifications for all applicable FSCs are established monthly for each supplier and provided to them. Suppliers may address questions about the program or their FSC RYG classifications to the Naval Sea Logistics Center (NLSC) Portsmouth Detachment, Federal Building, Room 400, 80 Daniel Street, Portsmouth, NH 0380l-3884, telephone 603-431-9460, ext. 464. FAX 603-431-9464. Suppliers may also access their individual FSC RYG classifications through the automated vendor access program.

Offerors may obtain information on CCR registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-888-227-2423, or via the Internet at www.ccr.gov.
