- Description
- Complete RFQ with full requirements, basis for award, quote instructions, etc. 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. The solicitation for commercial services is being conducted in conjunction with FAR Part 13. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation HBCU-EMS2016-0002 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-84. The NAICS Code is 721110, Hotels (Not Casino) and Motels, and small business size standard is $32.5M. The hotel selected to receive an offer from the Department is required to register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and to maintain active registration during the life of the purchase order. SAM can be accessed at https://www.sam.gov Hotels shall include their DUNS number in their quote. If the hotel does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. The hotel selected for an offer from the Department will need to provide Offeror Representations and Certifications prior to any award. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) has a requirement to obtain meeting space and hotel guest room accommodations for a conference hosted by The White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) in September 2016. The preferred dates are September 11-14, 2016, which follows the culmination of the Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus. The Department will not accept the dates of September 14-17, 2016, which conflict with a Congressional Black Caucus event that may impact attendee participation. The Government does not intend to execute any contract other than with the facility or venue proposed to hold the event and provide accommodations. Any quote from a source other than the hotel or lodging venue itself must include written evidence that the quoter is currently authorized to submit binding quotes on behalf of the venue whose accommodations and/or facility are being offered. Evidence shall include a signed agreement between the vendor and the quoter. Quotes that fail to provide such evidence shall be deemed technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award. Any quote which requires the Government to make an offer that renders a hotel or facility provider as a third party, or for lodging/hotel accommodations that cannot be provided at quoter's facility, shall be deemed technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award. The Department's preference is that all lodging and meeting space be in one general location. AREA OF CONSIDERATION: Maryland National Harbor, Northern Virginia, Baltimore, Washington, DC area large hotels within 45 miles of downtown DC (400 or more sleeping rooms plus meeting space that can accommodate 800-1200 in rounds). The lodging and conference rooms must be at the same general location. At this time, there is no flexibility with the distance. CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS: Submit all clarification questions concerning this solicitation in writing via E-Mail to Robin Dixon- Jefferson at Robin.Dixon-Jefferson@ed.gov and Gary Weaver at Gary.Weaver@ed.gov. ED will accept clarification questions until 12:00 p.m. EST Thursday, December 3, 2015. After this date ED does not guarantee that a response will be given. QUOTE DUE DATE: Quotes are due by Monday, December 14, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. EST. Please email quotes to Robin Dixon- Jefferson at Robin.Dixon-Jefferson@ed.gov and Gary Weaver at Gary.Weaver@ed.gov. Please hold space or give the Department first right of refusal for a minimum of 10 days after submissions of a quote. The Department will make an award decision as soon as possible after the quote due date so that a room block, space, etc. can be locked in. PLEASE SEE THE COMPLETE RFQ UPLOADED AS A SEPARATE DOCUMENT FOR COMPLETE REQUIREMENTS, BASIS FOR AWARD, AND COMPLETE QUOTE INSTRUCTIONS.
