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. The solicitation number is HSTS05-16-Q-LAS003 and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-89. The associated NAICS code is 337127 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. List of contract line item numbers and items, quantities and units of measure: 00001 LAS Control Room Consoles, 1 Lot Description of requirements for the items to be acquired: The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire control room consoles for the coordination center at McCarran International Airport (LAS), Las Vegas, Nevada. Requirements for LAS Coordination Center Furniture • Furniture must seat 3 individuals in a convex seating pattern facing the monitor wall with allowance for space in front to utilize the existing CCTV monitor mount furniture. Furniture must not exceed the width of the room and must provide for limited access from at least one side to the interior of the convex space. • Furniture must have integrated wire runs to conceal wires for monitors and other peripherals. • Furniture must have an electronic sit stand function with unlimited stops throughout the travel. • Furniture must accommodate user sitting and standing that range in height from 5'0 to 6'4". • Furniture must accommodate the mounting of 3 24" flat panel computer monitors without interference during movement from the sit/stand movement. • Furniture must accommodate the use of laptops with docking stations. • Storage space for binders is optional but preferred. • Furniture hardware must be made of metal or other durable materials except for work surfaces. • Furniture must have a 5 year warranty, lifetime preferred. • Furniture must be professionally installed. For Reference Only: The type of furniture that the Government anticipates is similar to Winsted Control Room Consoles Prestige Ascend Curved, L-Shaped, and Straight Consoles. This is not to be construed as Government endorsement of this particular line of products, nor is it to be construed as a brand name requirement of this solicitation. The information is provided solely to provide a reference point for interested vendors as well as to establish a baseline in terms of form, fit, function, and quality that is required under this solicitation. Date and place of delivery and acceptance and FOB point: 6 Weeks After Receipt of Order; McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas NV 89119 IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING DELIVERY: The furniture required under this contract is inextricably linked to a stand-alone requirement for the renovation of the Coordination Center at the airport. As such, it is highly likely that the furniture delivered under this contract will be warehoused for a period of time while construction is being accomplished. Warehousing will be at a TSA facility at no cost to the contractor ; however, the exact date that the contractor will be able to professionally install the furniture is currently unknown. The contractor will be given at least one week notice before being required to commence assembly and all assembly shall occur within two business days after commencement of the work. The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial applies to this acquisition. No addenda apply. The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items applies to this acquisition. The following addenda apply: Paragraph (a) is filled in as follows: "(i) Past Performance; and, (ii) Price." Paragraphs (b) and (c) are deleted in their entirety and "Reserved." The following paragraphs are added: (d) Award will be made using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) selection process. Award may be made on initial quotations. Therefore, each initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to contact quoters if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary. The LPTA process will proceed as follows: 1) Quotes may be removed from consideration for any of the following reasons: • Quotes that are not received timely • Quotes that fail to follow the instructions in FAR Provision 52.212-1 • Quotes that fail to submit any required documentation • Quotes that have language inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the solicitation 2) Quotes will be ordered by price from lowest to highest. 3) The Government will then review Factor 1 of the lowest priced quote. If the review finds that Factor 1 of the lowest priced quote is acceptable, then the Government will evaluate Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote. If the review finds that Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote is acceptable, that quote represents the best value to the Government and the technical evaluation process stops at this point. Contingent upon a subsequent determination of price reasonableness and of contractor responsibility by the Contracting Officer, an award will be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quoters. If the lowest quote is determined not to be acceptable for any reason, then the next lowest priced quote will receive an evaluation as described above. The process will continue (in order by price) until a quote from a responsible contractor is determined to be acceptable and priced fairly and reasonably. 4) USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT NOT EVALUATE ALL QUOTES. (e) Each Factor will be evaluated as follows: Factor 1. Past Performance Past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as follows: Rating - Description Acceptable - Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable - Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort Note: In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." Note: Quoters are not required or requested to submit past performance references. The Government will use public and Government-restricted sources (e.g. PPIRS) to evaluate past performance. Factor 2. Price Price will not be rated. Price analysis will be conducted to determine reasonableness. Quoters are required to include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items with its quote. Quoters shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if they have completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Web site accessed through http://www.acquisition.gov. If the Quoter has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, it shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (q) of this provision. The clause at 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes Or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.

(End of clause) NOTICE TO QUOTERS/OFFERORS ON SUSTAINABLE ACQUISITION REQUIREMENTS a. Policy. The policy of the Transportation Security Administration is that orders and contracts for supplies and services must meet all applicable required federal sustainable acquisition categories, and that contractors shall make good faith efforts to achieve optional federal sustainable acquisition goals. b. Background. A number of products and services that federal agencies acquire under contracts are required to meet federal sustainable acquisition requirements. For instance, common products may be designated respectively by the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the Environmental Protection Agency for specific bio-based or recovered material content. These requirements apply both when the products are intended for delivery to the government as well as when the contractor acquires such products for use in performance under a government contract. Energy-using products and services are required to meet standards for energy efficiency. Water-consuming products and processes are required to meet water conservation standards. Ozone depleting substances and volatile organic compounds are designated for replacement by less harmful substances. Greenhouse gas emission reductions are likewise intended. And, whenever developing technologies hold promise for further innovations and resource-usage reductions, it is likely that specific requirements for sustainable acquisition under federal contracts will follow from them. As well, a number of specific reporting requirements related to sustainable acquisition apply to contractors from specified contract clauses. c. References.
