This solicitation is being issued under the authority of FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This solicitation is a Request for Quotations (RFQ).

The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 812332 with a small business size standard of $38,500,000.00; the Product Service Code for this requirement is S209. This acquisition is being procured as a Total Small Business Set Aside. Only quotes submitted by qualified small business concerns will be considered. Offeror's must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to be considered for award. The US Institute for Chemical Defense requires one base year and four option years of laundry services. Please see attached Performance Work Statement for detailed information and required tasks.

The location for laundry pick-up and delivery is: 2900 Ricketts Point Road Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010-5400 The period of performance is as follows: • Base Period: 09/23/2017-09/22/2018 • Option Period 1: 09/23/2018-09/22/2019 • Option Period 2: 09/23/2019-09/22/2020 • Option Period 3: 09/23/2020-09/22/2021 EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD Award of a single firm-fixed price contract shall be made on a competitive "best value" basis, using "Lowest Price Technically Acceptable" (LPTA). The LPTA process does not permit tradeoffs between price and non-price factors. The Government intends to evaluate the contractor's quotes in response to the RFQ and award a contract without discussions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer (KO) makes the determination that discussions are necessary before a contract can be awarded. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the "best value" is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price. An overall technical rating shall be "acceptable" for contractor to be eligible for contract award. An "unacceptable" rating in any factor, results in the overall technical quote rated "unacceptable" unless corrected through discussions. A contractor receiving an overall rating of "unacceptable" shall not be eligible for contract award. The contractor's quote will be evaluated to ensure the Government receives a technically acceptable award at a fair and reasonable price. The selection for award will be based on the following non-cost/price factors: Factor 1 - Technical Capability Factor 2 - Prior Experience Factor 3 - Price The Government evaluators will not assume that the contractor's quote possesses any capability or knowledge unless it is specified in the quote. EVALUATION CRITERIA Factor 1 - Technical Capability: The Government will evaluate the Contractor's technical approach to determine that it has adequately demonstrated its ability to pick-up, launder, package items in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. Factor 2 - Prior Experience: The Government will evaluate the Contractor's prior experience in providing laundry services to customers of similar type and volume. Factor 3 - Price: Price will be evaluated separately from other non-price factors and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness. The total evaluated price will be evaluated for reasonableness in terms of: 1. Consistency with the requirement's acceptable technical capabilities in the contractor's non-price quote; 2. The price evaluation is to determine whether vendor's quote is fair and reasonable, the Government will evaluate the completeness and reasonableness of the contractor's quote. The Procuring Contracting Officer shall conduct a price analysis to support the price determination. ACCEPTABILITY RATING STANDARDS: An evaluation for technical acceptability will be made to ensure satisfactory responsiveness to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation. Each non-cost/price factor will be rated "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" using the following rating standards: For Factor 1 - Technical Capability standards will be: -Acceptable: Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. -Unacceptable: Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. For Factor 2 - Prior Experience standards will be: -Acceptable: The contractor has demonstrated prior experience in providing laundry services of similar volumes and types of items. -Unacceptable: The contractor has not demonstrated prior experience in providing laundry services of similar volumes and types of items.

The Government will evaluate contractor's price quote in terms of: a. Consistency with contractor's non-price quote; b. Completeness, fair and reasonableness. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
