Description of requirement: The Florida Army National Guard (FLARNG) requires a total of 14 aqueous based parts washing machines at the following locations throughout Florida. The intent is sustainability and elimination of the use of organic solvents and their environmental impact by using a water based solution, drastically reducing the amount of hazardous fluid disposal, and help the Florida National Guard achieve a much lower environmental footprint. The machines must meet the basic requirements as described herein and the contractor must provide for a turnkey solution to put machines into operation (hook up to power and air), maintain the machines in good working order with all necessary supplies, and dispose of any waste material in accordance with any applicable laws or regulations. The preference will be for a month to month arrangement, not a long term lease, however the Government anticipates requiring machines for a period of at least a year and anticipates an ongoing requirement. Interested companies are requested to provide pricing and customary commercial terms, and are encouraged to submit multiple solutions if available. Solutions may include rental of equipment vs purchase of equipment, so long as the solution includes maintenance of machines in good working order as described above. Solutions may also include different machines which meet the salient functions, features and performance characteristics, and optional features of machines submitted for consideration. The Government contemplates including an Option clause in a resulting contract in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(e). The Government can fund a solution for a period not to exceed one year. Contractors shall quote pricing for solutions for a period of one year and pricing for one year periods thereafter for a total of four years.

Pressure equal to that of a pressure washer. - Must have completely enclosed cleaning operation to decreases exposure and provide protection from harmful chemicals, grease, oil or fumes. While capable of using high pressure hand held nozzle and foot operated switch to clean parts by hand inserted through protective gloves. - Must provide two handed operation through affixed chemical gloves with observation window for viewing work. - Must have compressed air nozzle of 90-150psi that can be connected to shop standard air supply from air compressor, used when enclosure is closed to blow dry any of the water-based cleaner off the parts. - Must have enclosure that can accommodate parts or equipment up to 26" wide, 18" long, and 21" tall, and weight of up to 110lbs. Locations and quantity: City Quantity Avon Park, FL 1 Bonifay, FL 2 Haines City, FL 2 Jacksonville, FL 1 Miami, FL 1 Sarasota, FL 1 Starke (Camp Blanding), FL 2 Tallahassee, FL 1 Tampa, FL 1 Tavares, FL 1 West Palm Beach, FL 1 Total 14 Evaluation and Award Award will be made on the basis of price in accordance with FAR 13.106-1. Award will be made to the responsible contractor (see FAR Part 9) whose quote represents the best value on an "all-or-none" basis (see FAR 13.101(b)(1). Formal evaluation plans and establishing a competitive range, conducting discussions, and scoring quotations or offers are not required. Contracting offices may conduct comparative evaluations of offers. Evaluation of other factors, such as past performance -- (i) Does not require the creation or existence of a formal data base; and (ii) May be based on one or more of the following: (A) The contracting officer's knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; (B) Customer surveys, and past performance questionnaire replies; (C) The Governmentwide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) at www.ppirs.gov; or (D) Any other reasonable basis. The contracting officer may- (i) After preliminary consideration of all quotations or offers, identify from all quotations or offers received one that is suitable to the user, such as the lowest priced brand name product, and quickly screen all lower priced quotations or offers based on readily discernible value indicators, such as past performance, warranty conditions, and maintenance availability. If purchasing equipment, the Contracting Officer shall consider data available in the statistical reporting module of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) regarding the supplier's past performance history for the Federal supply class (FSC) and product or service code (PSC) of the supplies being purchased. This solicitation incorporates by reference DFARS provision at 252.213-7000, Notice to Prospective Suppliers on the Use of Past Performance Information Retrieval System-Statistical Reporting in Past Performance Evaluations. Contractors must quote all items and must be able to provide machines at all locations identified. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make award without discussions (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial quote should contain the contractor's best terms from a price standpoint. Do not assume you will have the opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise your quote. Contractors may, at the discretion of the Government, be asked to provide more information and clarification regarding their quote. Request for such information does not constitute discussions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Government intends evaluate quotations and make a single, Firm-Fixed Price award with Options (see FAR 13.106-1(e)). Evaluation of pricing will be inclusive of options. Evaluation will be in accordance with FAR 13.106-2. The Contracting Officer shall consider all quotations furnished in response to this RFQ. Prospective contractors must be registered at www.SAM.gov. Prospective contractors must meet basic responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104-1. Quotations Any response to this synopsis/solicitation will be considered a "quotation". Any reference to "offer", "bid" or similar in this solicitation shall be taken to mean "quotation". Any reference to "offeror, "bidder" or similar in this solicitation shall be taken to mean a company submitting a "quotation". FAR 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations. (a) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. (b) When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing, as defined at 2.101. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred. (c) If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer. (See 13.302-4 for procedures on termination or cancellation of purchase orders.)
