- FBO Solicitation Notice SOLICITATION NB643080-18-01295 PURCHASE REQUEST NUMBER NB643080-18-01295 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 Quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-89 effective 1/24/2018. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 811310 with a small business size standard of $7.5 Million. This acquisition is being procured as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. Only quotes submitted by qualified small business concerns will be considered for award. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires preventative maintenance for X-ray diffraction equipment located the NIST campus in Gaithersburg in accordance with the attached Statement of Work. Period of Performance: The period of performance for all line items shall be in accordance with the following: Base Year: 12 months from time of award. Option Year One: One year after the expiration of the Base Year. Option Year Two: Two years after the expiration of the Base Year. Option Year Three: Three years after the expiration of the Base Year. Option Year Four: Four years after the expiration of the Base Year. The total period of performance shall not exceed five years after award. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD The Government intends to award a single purchase order from this solicitation. The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order. 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. Award will be made, if at all, to the responsible Contractor whose quote, conforming to the requirements of the solicitation, represents the lowest price technically acceptable solution to the Government. Technical Acceptability will be evaluated as follows: The Government will evaluate the Contractor's technical approach to determine that it has adequately demonstrated: • An understanding of the requirements; • The ability to successfully provide preventative maintenance for X-ray diffraction equipment articulated in the solicitation; • A Quality Control Plan which demonstrates the Contractor's approach for ensuring the Statement of Work standards will be met in regards to work quality and timely response times; and • The ability to provide engineers or technicians meeting the minimum qualifications. The Government will evaluate the Contractor's and, if appropriate, its proposed subcontractors' past performance information to determine its relevance to the current requirements and has a satisfactory or better rating of past performance in the past three years. In assessing the Contractor's past performance, NIST will evaluate the quality, timeliness and ability to control cost and schedule of past work to determine the quality of maintenance and repairs of the same or similar instruments, and the extent to which the Contractor has performed work of a similar type, magnitude and complexity. The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from other sources. The Government will assign a neutral rating to Contractors with no relevant past performance. 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 The price evaluation will determine whether the quoted prices are fair and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements. Quoted prices shall be entirely compatible with the technical quotations. REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS All Contractors shall submit the following: 1. For the purpose of evaluation of Technical Acceptability: Contractors shall provide documentation that clearly demonstrates their understanding of the requirement; ability to provide maintenance services and repairs as specified in the statement of work; A Quality Control Plan outlining the Contractor's approach to ensuring work quality and timely response; and documentation demonstrating Contractor's engineers or technicians meet the required minimum qualifications in accordance with the Statement of Work. Additionally, Contractors shall provide past performance information regarding up to five relevant contracts for the past three years with federal, state or local governments, and international and commercial customers. The information shall describe contracts of a similar type and scope as the current requirement. If the Contractor intends to subcontract to another firm for a substantial part of this requirement (i.e., >20% of the total level of effort), that firm's past performance information must also be provided. If the Contractor has no relevant past performance it must include a statement to that effect in its quote. The Government reserves the right to consider data obtained from sources other than those described by the Contractor in its quote. The description of each contract described in this section shall not exceed a half page. For each of the above listed contracts, the Contractor shall provide the following information: • Contract Number; • Description and relevance to solicitation requirements; • Period of Performance • Name and address of the client with current telephone number and email address of a point of contact of the client responsible for this contract. 2. For the purpose of Price: Contractors shall provide a firm-fixed price quotation to complete the requirements of the Statement of Work. 3. Any award resulting from this solicitation will contain the following statement: "The Government's terms and conditions, identified herein, shall be the prevailing terms and conditions governing this award. In the event of a conflict between the Government's and contractor's terms and conditions, the Government's terms and conditions take precedence." 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)]. 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 award as prevailing. 4. Contractors shall provide an active DUNS # for the System for Award Management (SAM) registration. 5. If the Contractor's representations and certifications in SAM.gov do not reflect the NAICS code governing this solicitation, Contractor must submit documentation that they are a small business under the NAICS code governing this solicitation. 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.
