- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items/services prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number H92257-10-Q-0013 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005–40 and DFARS Change Notice DCN 20100408. The proposed acquisition is restricted to small business. The associated NAICS code is 611699 with a standard business size of $7.0 million. A Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract is contemplated. Marine Corps Special Operations Command, Camp Lejeune North Carolina, has a one-time requirement to procure: CLIN 0001: Technical Support Services Offers shall depict each labor category, quantity per category, and hourly rate/daily required to provide the requested services. Technical support services that are classified as open market services in lieu of GSA services shall be clearly identified. All work will be done in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW) attached. CLIN 0002: Other Direct Cost (ODC) Includes material, supplies, fuel, mileage, per diem, lodging and airfare. Travel shall be in accordance with the joint travel regulations (JTR). Contractor shall be required red to provide receipts. ODCs that are classified as open market in lieu of GSA shall be clearly identified. All work will be done in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW) attached. Delivery: Period of performance will begin May 31, 2010 and end no later than June 11, 2010. The Government anticipates award of a Firm Fixed Price contract. The evaluation factors for this RFQ are price, technical (technical approach, understanding the requirement, technical plan/methodology), delivery date, relevant (similar services provided within the past three years) and satisfactory past performance, and price. Categorically, evaluation factors will be weighed in this order of precedence; technical, delivery date, and past performance. The Government intends to make award based on lowest price technically acceptable. Standard Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Language -Use of LPTA is required by AI 13.106-100. -LPTA may not be appropriate for use where high quality is required and that factor can not otherwise be reduced to an acceptable/non-acceptable factor under an LPTA analysis (i.e. it is generally appropriate for simple products or services). 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items. (select appropriate bold language below) a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. For this solicitation, the most advantageous offer for the government will be the responsible, lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror considering the following factors: [Choose from among the following factors; choose fewer if acquisition is for a simple product or service and we need to award quickly; the following list is not all-inclusive.] 1. Price; [mandatory] 2. Delivery; 3. Technical; 4. Past Performance; [Past performance is only valuable if we get relevant and recent past performance information. This must be explained to vendors – e.g. “Submit past performance references from three or more customers for projects /services performed within the last three years that were for the same or similar items or services described in this solicitation.” We can consider a shorter period of time if there are numerous actions or many vendors providing the required items. If a contractor has no experience then you don't hold that against them - they receive a neutral rating which is acceptable. They are not acceptable if they have had negative past performance. Personal knowledge of the contracting officer MAY be considered.] 5. Experience; [Similar to past performance but a distinct factor; it represents the experience they have in the industry, and not necessarily how they have performed on previous contracts; the solicitation should say what minimum level experience is required IOT be acceptable, e.g., 3 yrs direct or related experience.] 6. Management/Personnel; [If this is a factor we want to consider, the solicitation must list the requirements for management or personnel so that the offer will know what is acceptable.] Proposals will be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion. The offeror must be acceptable in all factors listed to be considered technically acceptable. The Government will then make award to the lowest priced of the technically acceptable vendors. OR Proposals will be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion. The offeror must be acceptable in all factors listed to be considered technically acceptable. The Government will select the vendor whose quote is the lowest price of the technically acceptable quotes in order to negotiate details. If agreement can not be reached with that vendor, the Government will move on to the next lowest priced, technically acceptable vendor. [If applicable, add the following] While not a factor for determination of technical acceptability, contractors are reminded that this solicitation contains (DFARS 252.225-7024, Requirement for Products or Services from Iraq or Afghanistan) OR (DFARS 252.225-7026, Acquisition Restricted to Products or Services from Iraq or Afghanistan). In order to receive consideration for award under this solicitation, offerors must comply with this clause. b. Options – use appropriate language from 52.212-2 c.
