This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), (USDA) requires USDA-Wide Deaf and Hard of Hearing Interpreting Services on an as-required basis nation-wide. The majority of initial services are estimated to be performed in the Washington, DC metro area at USDA facilities. This solicitation will result in multiple, but no more than three (3), USDA-Wide Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Interpreting Services. This solicitation is being issued as a small-business set-aside under NAICS 541930 - Sign language services. The size standard is $7 million. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-72 effective January 30, 2014. The evaluation for this award will be based on Price and Past Performance ONLY. Both factors have equal weight. It is the USDA's goal to ensure evaluations are as streamlined as possible so a complete quote responsive to the evaluation criteria is paramount. If you have questions about the past performance/price trade-off process, how to submit your quote, or other areas regarding the solicitation and quotation processes please send your questions in writing to the Contracting Officer via e-mail. Past performance volumes should be carefully developed and contain all potential performance summaries demonstrating how the offeror has provided relevant high quality services for other organizations with requirements similar to USDA's within the past 3 years (Past Performance). It is incumbent on the vendor to present the past performance most applicable to the USDA environment and describe it sufficiently for the USDA to have confidence that the vendor will successfully fulfill each requirement requested for this effort. These descriptions will be verified through customer provided questionnaires and other direct follow-up methods. Please send questions regarding the solicitation to jason.kattman@ftc.usda.gov. All written questions must be received no later than 4:30PM, Eastern Standard Time April 9, 2014 and use the attached format (Attachment 3). There will be a pre-proposal conference on March 28, 2014 in Washington DC. Please contact the Contracting Officer if your firm wishes to attend in person or via teleconference and limit attendance to 2 representatives. Additional details will follow regarding address, call-in in number, agenda, etc and will be provided upon RSVP. The closing date for receipt of all volume submissions is to 4:30PM Eastern Standard Time, April 17, 2014.
