This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The evaluation of offers received in response to the solicitation will use a tiered or cascading order of precedence. Tiered evaluation of offers, also known as cascading evaluation of offers, is a procedure used in negotiated acquisitions when market research is inconclusive for justifying limiting competition to small business concerns or sub-categories of small business concerns. The Contract Officer (1) Solicits offers from both small and other than small business concerns that will be evaluated in the following tiered order: (a) service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB); (b) veteran-owned small business (VOSB); (c) all other small business concerns; (d) other than small business. (2) If an award or a sufficient number of awards cannot be made at the first tier, evaluation of offers will proceed at the next lower tier until an award or a sufficient number of awards can be made. This is a request for quotations (RFQ). The quote document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-94, 2005-95 / 01-19-2017. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 339113, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees.. The Network Contracting Office 9 is seeking a vendor that will provide the necessary requirement to the Nashville VA Medical Center. All questions regarding this RFQ must be in writing and may be sent by e mail to crystal.baird@va.gov Questions must be received no later than July 27, 2017 at 5:00 PM. No further questions will be accepted after that date and time. You are reminded that representatives from your company SHALL NOT contact any Nashville VA Medical Center employees to discuss this RFQ during this RFQ process. All questions and concerns regarding this RFQ shall be directed to the Contracting Officer.
