- Description
- Attachment B - Printer Configuration Worksheet Attachment A - Background and Capability Questionnaire This is a Department of State Sources Sought only. Contractors are requested to read and respond to the below and attached requirements accordingly. The responses from this notice may be used as market research to determine an acquisition strategy for an imminent anticipated competitive acquisition. The purpose of this Sources Sought notice is to survey the vendor community for potential sources who can provide a commercial off the shelf (COTS) solution that meets the core technical specifications in the proposed configuration worksheet and in accordance with the attached terms and conditions (Attachment A, procurement requirements tab). Specifically, the Department of State wishes to determine whether there may be small business interests who could provide supplies meeting the Department's requirements. The responses received (or lack thereof) in response to this notice may be used as a partial basis for the Contracting Officer's determination as to the appropriateness or inappropriateness of a small business or other socio-economic set-aside under the subsequent solicitation (RFP). PARTICIPATION IN THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION IS VOLUNTARY, NO COMPENSATION WILL BE PROVIDED. ALL QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING VIA EMAIL TO RAUAM@STATE.GOV. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ANY RESPONDENT CONTACT ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT OF STATE PERSONNEL REGARDING THIS NOTICE. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL; THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. NO AWARD WILL BE MADE ON THE BASIS OF RESPONSES RECEIVED TO THIS NOTICE. RESPONSE FORMAT Responses must be submitted electronically, formatted in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel (any version). Margins must be 1" on all sides, to print on 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Typeface must be Times New Roman, 12 point font. Responses should be specific to the Bill of Materials and the attached specifications. The page limitation shall be five (5) pages, but respondents are cautioned to keep marketing materials and non-specific information to a minimum. No responses shall be accepted via US Mail or Fax. RESPONSE CONTENT Responses should be concise, yet detailed, and include the Contractor's statement of interest, capabilities statement, and specific commercial off the shelf (COTS) products that the respondent could deploy to fulfill the requirement if a solicitation were to be issued. Responses shall address the requirements in the attached proposed configuration worksheet (Attachment B), indicating what product (brand, model#, etc) the respondent suggests to meet such requirements. Respondents may notate each detailed specification in the proposed configuration worksheet, indicating whether the product suggested would meet the requirement or not, and whether there is any other technical consideration, option, exception, etc that would apply. Respondents shall complete the background and capability questionnaire (Attachment A) to provide basic organizational information, including small business size standards, and acquisition history for similar requirements. Respondents are encouraged to include in their response any questions or additional information that they would require prior to submitting a quote, in the event that a solicitation is issued. No pricing information is requested at this time. For purposes of this notice, the Department of State encourages as brief a response as is practicable. SUPPLIES The attached proposed configuration worksheet represents the list of requirements which the Department of State may require in an anticipated imminent competitive acquisition. This list is believed to contain all and only those specifications which are required by the Department of State; however, based on the responses received in reply to this notice, the Department may reexamine any specification to ensure that all and only the required salient specifications are used in future requirements.
