- Description
- combined synopsis/solicitation This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial service prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.102 (g) and with the format in Subpart 12.1, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; Quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Solicitation number is: OPM3313Q0001 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This solicitation document incorporates all mandatory commercial item provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-66 dated February 28, 2013. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 721110, and the small business size standard is $30.0 million. This procurement is unrestricted, allowing both large and small business to submit quotations. OPM's Retirement Services (RS) provides Federal employees, retirees and their families with benefits programs and services that offer choice, value and quality to help maintain the government's position as a competitive employer. Retirement Services consists of Retirement Operations and Insurance Operations, as well as three offices that report directly to the Associate Director: Quality Assurance, Benefits Officers Training and Development, and Resource Management. RS's Benefits Officers Training and Development (BOTD) office has a need for a single facility in one of the following cities: San Diego or, Jacksonville for a five (5) day period from June 17 - 21 or June 24 - 28, 2013 to provide a series of workshops on Retirement, Insurance, Social Security, and Thrift that represents the best value to the government. Historically, OPM has sponsored multiple training sessions at least once a year to meet the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 8350 (3) which states, "once each year, each retirement counselor of an agency shall successfully complete training under the (Office of Personnel Management) training program." This training also meets OPM's Strategic Goal of "ensuring recognition and reward for exemplary performance of current employees and honor the careers of Federal retirees" through a strategy which improves OPM service to Federal agency benefit officers by developing service delivery models, defining standards, and measuring results. In support of this mission, BOTD needs to acquire a contractor to provide lodging, meeting space, food and beverage, audiovisual, and any other services for 400 - 450 attendees plus 50 OPM staff to attend per day. The contractor must be located in one of the following cities: San Diego or Jacksonville, for a five (5) day period from June 17 - 21 or June 24 - 28, 2013 to provide a series of workshops on Retirement, Insurance, Social Security, and Thrift that represents the best value to the government. However, if for some reason the dates are not available for the facility, the contractor will make every effort to secure June 17 - 21, 2013 or June 24 - 28, 2013. OPM intends to award one Firm-Fixed Price contract to the offeror that represents the best value to the government. The period of performance shall be from date of award through June 28, 2013. Offerors are invited to submit their quotations to the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Contracting Group in response to this notice by 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), March 18, 2013. Quotations submitted in response to this notice shall include the solicitation number in the subject line and be signed, dated and submitted via email to Benjamin.Delaney@opm.gov. Only e-mailed requests for additional information will be accepted at benjamin.delaney@opm.gov through 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), March 11, 2013. Note that communications with other officials may compromise the competitiveness of this acquisition and result in the cancellation of the requirement. Vendors not registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and not registered in the VETS-100 database at the time the requirement April 5, 2013 will not be considered. Vendors may register with SAM by accessing www.sam.gov. Vendors may register with VETS-100 by accessing https://vets.dol.gov/. Note: This is a solicitation for a vendor to provide meeting space, food and beverages for an OPM hosted event. This is not a solicitation for a third party vendor acting on behalf of OPM to locate and secure a venue, provide liaison support, provide on-site meeting support, or event planning services. Therefore, teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements with hotels will be considered non-responsive.
