- 36C10E19Q0093, Telematics Devices and Monitoring for Atlanta, GA VBA COMBINED SYNOPSIS SOLICITATION i. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The government anticipates award of a single firm fixed price contract. 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. ii. Solicitation 36C10E19Q0093 is issued as a request for quote (RFQ). iii. The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2019-01, effective Dec 20, 2018. iv. The combined synopsis/solicitation is set aside for Veteran Owned Small Business concerns only. Only quotes submitted by Veteran Owned Small Business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote that is submitted by a contractor that is not a verified Veteran Owned Small Business in VIP will not be considered for award. The applicable NAICS Code for this solicitation is 334551 and the Small Business Size limitation is 1,250 employees. Offers from VOSB concerns must be registered and verified in the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) Vendor Information Pages (VIP) website at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/ at the time and date set for receipt of offers and at the time and date of award to be considered for award. Offers from VOSB concerns that are not registered shall be rejected as non-responsive and shall not be considered for award. v. The contractor shall provide all equipment, services, material, tools, labor, facilities transportation and supervision to furnish telematics equipment, monitoring devices, and monitoring services for Thirty-Four (34) vehicles in the Atlanta, GA VBA Regional Office fleet.
