Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items 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; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This synopsis/solicitation is issued for commercial items in accordance with FAR Part 12 using FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-69 effective September 3, 2013. This acquisition is set aside 100% for small business. Applicable NAICS 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing) small business size standard is 500 employees. 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations. (a) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. (b) When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing, as defined at 2.101. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred. (c) If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer. (See 13.302-4 for procedures on termination or cancellation of purchase orders.) =============================================================== Contract Line Item Number (CLIN): 0001, Mobile tower unit, Qty 1, Each Description of requirement: The Florida Army National Guard (FLARNG) requires one (1) each, mobile (trailer), 100 foot tower in accordance with the below descriptions: 1.

Due to a lack of natural elevated terrain in Florida, extending line-of-sight communications and surveillance capabilities to cover large or specific target centric areas of operations has proven to be difficult. A mobile, trailered tower system will give the FLCDP the ability to: Extend the range of UHF/VHF and 800 mhz radios as a mobile repeater station.
