This solicitation is being issued under the authority of FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This solicitation is a Request for Quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-95 effective 01/19/2017.

EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Contractor whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, is the lowest price, technically acceptable quotation. Technically acceptable means that the Contractor provides a product that meets the requirement specified in the Statement of Work, and the requirements of all Line Items. If a Contractor does not indicate how its proposed equipment meets a certain minimum requirement, NIST will determine that it does not. Price will be evaluated to determine that total price is consistent with the technical portion of the quotation and is a fair and reasonable overall price to the Government. 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. REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS All Contractors shall submit the following: 1.For the purpose of evaluation of Technical Acceptability: Documentation that confirms the contractor is capable of providing the equipment specified in the statement of work.

It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to identify in their quote any exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation. If the contractor does not include such a statement, the submission of a quotation in response to this solicitation will be regarded as the Contractor's acceptance of the Government's terms and conditions for inclusion into the resultant purchase order. 5.Contractors shall provide an active DUNS # for the System for Award Management (SAM) registration. 6.If the Contractor's representations and certifications in SAM.gov do not reflect the NAICS code governing this solicitation, Contractors must submit documentation that they are a small business under the NAICS code governing this solicitation.

If a contractor submits a quotation based upon an FSS or GWAC contract, the Government will accept the quoted price.
