Description

Responses to Questions This notice is hereby amended (Amendment 0003) to post a response to questions. NOTE: NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED OR CONSIDERED. The date and time set for receipt of quotes remains unchanged. You must acknowledge ALL amendments with your quote. Failure to acknowledge ALL amendments may render you non-responsive and, therefore, result in your quote not being considered for award. This notice is hereby amended (Amendment 0002) to extend the response deadline due to questions that have surfaced upon original posting. An additional amendment will be posted immediately upon receipt of answers to those questions. The date and time set for receipt of quotes has changed from 1:00pm CT on 25 September 2014 to 2:00pm CT on 26 September 2014. You must acknowledge ALL amendments with your quote. Failure to acknowledge ALL amendments may render you non-responsive and, therefore, result in your quote not being considered for award. This notice is hereby amended (Amendment 0001) to address a question that has surfaced (see attached Milling Machine Q&A). The date and time set for receipt of quotes remains unchanged. You must acknowledge this amendment with your quote. Failure to acknowledge this amendment may render you non-responsive and, therefore, result in your quote not being considered for award. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with (IAW) the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 and in conjunction with FAR Subpart 13.5 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. 1. Solicitation F2DGAM4119A002 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). 2. This RFQ incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-76. 3. This notice is NOT to be construed as a commitment by the United States Air Force. The Government is NOT liable for any costs and/or activity associated with providing a response to this announcement. Any costs incurred as a result of a response to this announcement shall be borne by the firm and will not be charged to the government for reimbursement. 4. This acquisition is unrestricted under NAICS Code is 333517 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. 5. Description of Requirement: Purchase of a Bridgeport Series 1 (2J) Knee Mill with Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Capability (Reference Atch 1). Brand Name Justification: The machine shop currently has three other Bridgeport Series 1 (2J) manually operated knee mill machines. The Government has already invested a substantial amount of funds in accessory tooling and equipment that is used for the preventive maintenance of these machines. The tooling is interchangeable for use on the manufacturer's products, so no additional investment for these items would be required. Furthermore, acquiring another Bridgeport machine will allow cannibalization of parts from the existing machines, if needed; therefore, saving money and time. A replacement part can be very costly, depending on the required part. Also, waiting for parts to be bought can render the shop's machining capability unavailable for approximately 30 to 180 days. 6. Desired Delivery Date: 30 calendar days after receipt of award. Indicate Proposed Delivery Date in the quote. 7. Basis of Award: IAW FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items, the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers (in no specific order): a) Technical: The ability to meet all requirements as set forth in the Schedule of Supplies/Services (Atch 1) and Statement of Work (Atch 2). b) Price: Offerors shall propose on all items. Only firm fixed price offers will be evaluated. Any offer using a sliding price scale or subject to escalation based on any contingency will NOT be accepted. Quotes determined to be unreasonable, imbalanced or incompatible (excessive or insufficient) with the scope of effort to be accomplished will NOT be considered. Submit pricing on the attached Schedule of Supplies/Services (Atch 1). The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest price quote if the lowest priced offer does not demonstrate the technical capability to complete the requirement. The Government also intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. Since award will be based on initial responses, offerors are encouraged to submit their most advantageous pricing in their initial response. 8. This RFQ incorporates one or more provisions or clauses by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. The offeror is cautioned that the listed provisions may include blocks that must be completed by the offeror and submitted with its quotation or offer.
