This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii)The solicitation number for this requirement is NIH-CC-18008105MF and this is a Request For Proposals. The closing date and time for the receipt of proposals is Friday, June 26, 2018, 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST). Proposals are due, electronically to Michael.falzone@nih.gov no later than Friday, June 22, 2018, 10:00 am. Eastern Standard Time (EST). (iii)The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-98, dated 05-31-2018. (iv)This requirement is being solicited as a 100% Small Business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 238220 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, and the size standard for this requirement is $15,000,000.00 employees. The resulting contract will be a Firm Fixed Price Contract. The anticipated award date is on or before July 1, 2018. The contract Performance Period shall include a twelve month base period and four (4) 12-month Option Periods. (vi) The purpose of this acquisition is to procure monthly and biannual scheduled air flow surveys as detailed in the Statement of Work (SOW). (vii)Place of Performance and FOB Destination: The contractor shall perform the work required under this contract at the National Institutes of Health, Building 10, 10 Center Drive, Bethesda, Maryland. (viii)The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial, applies to this acquisition and a statement regarding any addenda to the provision. (ix)The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, is applicable. 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014) (a)The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (ii)Price (1)Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (2)The proposed price will be evaluated but not scored. The price evaluation will determine whether the proposed prices are fair and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements. Proposed prices shall be entirely compatible with the technical quotations. (3)Although price is the least important evaluation factor, it will not be ignored. The degree of importance of the proposed prices will increase with the degree of equality of the proposals in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based (4)When taken together, the Technical Evaluation Criteria are significantly more important than Price. If two or more proposals are evaluated as technically equivalent, then Price may become a significant, and determining factor. (iii)Past performance (see FAR 15.304) (1)Past Performance Factor. An evaluation of offeror's past performance information will be conducted subsequent to the technical evaluation. However, this evaluation will not be conducted on any offeror whose proposal would not be selected for award based on the results of the evaluation of factors other than past performance. The evaluation will be based on information obtained from references provided by the offeror, other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, and any information supplied by the offeror concerning problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken. The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts but rather the product of subjective judgment by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information. When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as the offeror's record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; the offeror's record of controlling and forecasting costs; the offeror's adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the offeror's reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the offeror's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the offeror's performance. The lack of a relevant performance record may result in an unknown performance risk assessment, which will neither be used to the advantage nor disadvantage of the offeror. The following rating method shall be used in the evaluation of past performance information: +2 Excellent - Based on the offeror's performance record, no doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information are consistently firm in stating that the offeror's performance was superior and that they would unhesitatingly do business with the offeror again. +1 Good - Based on the offeror's performance record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information state that the offeror's performance was good, better than average, etc., and that they would do business with the offeror again. 0 None - No past performance history identifiable. -1 Marginal - Based on the offeror's performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information make unfavorable reports about the offeror's performance and express concern about doing business with the offeror again. -2 Poor - Based on the offeror's performance record, serious doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information consistently stated that the offeror's performance was entirely unsatisfactory and that they would not do business with the offeror again. Technical and past performance, when combined, are also very important. (b)Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c)A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (End of provision) (x)Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, with its offer, or submit a printout to their Online Reps and Certs. FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Item. A copy of the provision is included in "Attachment 2 - OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS ANDCERTIFICATIONS".
