- Statement of Work - DFB Modules Provisions & Clauses - DFB Modules COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION SB1341-17-RQ-0456 Five (5) Distributed Feedback Diode Modules This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 - Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is being issued under the authority of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-94 effective 1/19/2017. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000 Employees. This acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The Material Measurement Laboratory's Chemical Sciences Division has several projects involving the development of a cavity ringdown optical sensor for measurements of CO2 in the 2 µm wavelength region. The Gas Sensing Metrology Group has several projects in this region that require laser sources, including detection of 13CO2, measurement of the 13CO2/12CO2 isotope ratio, and determination of CO2 intensity ratios. To develop this sensor, the Gas Sensing Metrology Group requires suitable laser sources at several wavelengths. The laser sources must be tunable single mode lasers with narrow linewidth. A suitable technology for this task is Distributed Feedback (DFB) diode lasers. Five discrete DFB lasers at specified wavelengths will meet the project requirements. The period of performance shall be in accordance with the following: Line Item 0001: Delivery of Five (5) DFB Laser modules with center wavelengths in accordance with the statement of work document inclusive of F.O.B Destination Shipping and warranty. Delivery The items shall be shipped F.O.B Destination to: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 100 Bureau Drive Gaithersburg, MD 20899-0001 ATTN: Technical Point of Contact FOB DESTINATION MEANS: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, is the lowest priced, technically acceptable quotation. NIST intends to evaluate quotes and issue a contract based on the initial quotes received. Therefore, the Contractor's initial quote should contain the Contractor's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. NIST reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or negotiate final contract terms with, one or more, but not all, Contractors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government will evaluate the Contractor's technical approach to determine that it has adequately demonstrated: • The ability to successfully fulfill the Government's requirements for the DFB laser modules with varying center wavelengths in accordance with this solicitation. • Meet or exceed timeframes as stated in the deliverables section of the solicitation; The Government will evaluate the Contractor's past performance information to determine whether the contractor has a satisfactory or better rating of past performance in the past three years. The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from other sources. If the Government determines that Past Performance issues represent an unreasonable risk of performance failure, the Contractor's quote may be determined to be technically unacceptable. Price will be evaluated to determine that the total price is consistent with the technical portion of the quotation and is a fair and reasonable overall price to the Government inclusive of the line item. REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS All Contractors shall submit the following: 1. For the purpose of evaluation of Technical Acceptability: Documentation that demonstrates: the Contractor's ability to deliver the requirements of five (5) total DFB modules specified in the statement of work; and the Contractor's approach to ensuring timely deliverables. 2. A firm-fixed-price quotation for five DFB modules meeting all specifications in the statement of work document inclusive of F.O.B Destination Shipping and warranty. CLIN 0001: $_________________total firm-fixed price. 3. A compete version of all required solicitation provisions (see attached provisions/clauses document - required submissions highlighted in blue). 4. If the contractor objects to any of the terms and conditions contained in this solicitation, the contractor shall state, "The terms and conditions in the solicitation are acceptable to be included in the award document with the exception, deletion, or addition of the following:" [Contractor shall list exception(s) and rationale for the exception(s)]. 5. Contractors shall provide an active DUNS # for the System for Award Management (SAM) registration. Contractors must have an active registration at www.SAM.Gov to be considered for award. Please note that this procurement IS NOT being conducted under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program or another Government-Wide Area Contract (GWAC). If a contractor submits a quotation based upon an FSS or GWAC contract, the Government will accept the quoted price. However, the terms and conditions stated herein will be included in any resultant Purchase Order, not the terms and conditions of the contractor's FSS or GWAC contract, and the statement required above shall be included in the quotation; DUE DATE FOR QUOTATIONS E-mail quotations are required. All quotations must be submitted via e-mail to Tish Walker, Contract Specialist at latish.walker@nist.gov Submission must be received not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday May 29, 2017. A quotation shall be considered received when it is received in the electronic inbox of Tish Walker not later than the date and time identified herein. All questions regarding this notice must be submitted via e-mail to latish.walker@nist.gov by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday May 22, 2017. Questions submitted after this date may not be addressed by the Government prior to the quotation submission deadline.
