- Description
- Amendment 001 The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve quality of life. The Civil Rights and Diversity Office (CRDO) promotes accessibility for employees and visitors. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, require the Government to provide reasonable accommodation to employees, applicants and visitors. Reasonable accommodation can include, but is not limited to, providing sign language services. Sign language services are provided so that manually communicating employees or visitors who are deaf or hard-of-hearing can participate equally in all facets of their employment or visit at NIST. Currently, there are four deaf employees who require sign language services on a regular basis for meetings, trainings, and other events. Additionally, NIST hosts a variety of events (such as tours, colloquium talks, conferences and meetings) which are open to the public and may require sign language services. NIST plans to utilize Contractors to provide sign language services on an "as needed" basis to meet requirements, which may vary widely. The objective of this procurement is to establish multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to provide expressive and receptive sign language services for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Services may be required at NIST campuses located in Gaithersburg, MD, Boulder, Colorado, and/or Charleston, SC. It is anticipated that the majority of services will be provided on-site at the Gaithersburg, MD campus. Services may also be required at venues other than the NIST campus. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541930 with a small business size standard of $7.5 million. Simplified Acquisition Procedures shall be utilized under the authority of FAR Parts 12 and 13. This requirement is 100% set-aside for women-owned small business. Award of multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements are anticipated. The competitive Request for Quotation (RFQ), amendments, and all questions and answers related to this procurement shall be made available via the Internet at HTTP://WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV under RFQ number SB1341-15-RQ-0544. Potential quoters shall be responsible for obtaining this solicitation and related Amendments, if any, from www.fbo.gov after the solicitation has been posted. It is, and will continue to be, the responsibility of each potential quoter to monitor www.fbo.gov for any amendments or other information related to the solicitation. Any communications regarding this acquisition must be made in writing and forwarded via email to carol.wood@nist.gov, and shall identify the solicitation number, company name, company address, as well as point of contact email address and phone number. NIST anticipates posting the solicitation approximately four (4) days after the date of publication of this notice.
