This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 88310319Q0151 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2019-04 effective August 7, 2019. CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERS: See Attachment 1, Schedule of Prices. REQUIREMENT: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requires telecommunications equipment to facilitate its conversion from an open standard (NXDN TYPE D) to a limited open digital mobile radio (DMR) standard (Tier III) specialized mobile radio (SMR) system. The Government will only accept commercial-off-the-shelf-items. NARA also requests a trade-in allowance for approximately 375 ICOM F4161DT Hand Held Radios. DATES/PLACE OF DELIVERY: The delivery date will be cited on each delivery order. The delivery location will be the Archives II Loading Dock located in College Park, MD. F.O.B.: Destination.

Eastern Time) Monday through Friday, except federal and national holidays or other closures, unless mutually agreed upon by NARA and the Contractor. The following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses are incorporated and are to remain in full force in any resultant IDIQ contract with fixed price delivery orders, with the exception of FAR provisions which will be removed prior to award: FAR 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal (Aug 1999): CLINs 0012 through 0016. Contractors must submit itemized specifications for CLINs 0012-0016 that address each enumerated requirement of RFQ Enclosure 1, Salient Characteristics - for each proposed item to facilitate a comprehensive Government evaluation. FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items (Oct 2018). Addenda: (1) Change paragraph (c) to read: Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation. EVALUATION (In lieu of FAR 52.212-2): Evaluation and award will be in accordance with the procedures of FAR Subpart 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. Award will be to the offeror whose conforming quotation in response to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government. Best value for this award will be obtained through a lowest price technically acceptable evaluation. The firm-fixed unit prices must include the fully burdened cost for delivering the supplies required by this contract. See Attachment 1, Schedule of Prices. For evaluation purposes, the firm-fixed price for each CLIN will be determined by: a) Multiplying the Unit Price by the Maximum Quantity, b) Summing the Total FFP for each CLIN; and c) Deducting the total amount of the Trade-in Allowance (if applicable). The Government reserves the right to make an award without discussions of this procurement. The Contracting Officer (CO) is not obligated to award on an exchange basis. If the lowest evaluated offer is an offer for the new items without any exchange, the CO may award on that basis and forgo the exchange. Exchanges may be made only with the successful offeror. If the successful offer includes an exchange, one contract will be awarded for both the acquisition of the new property and the trade-in of the exchange property. Exceptions taken to any terms and conditions stated in the RFQ must be clearly outlined on a separate page of the Contractor's quotation entitled, "Exceptions." The Contractor must also include complete rationale, justification, and the cost RFQ No.: 88310319Q0151 2 impact of each exception noted.

If an Offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, the Offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (u) of this provision; FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items (Oct 2018) -- see RFQ Enclosure 2, Terms and Conditions (Addenda to FAR clause 52.212-4).

FAR 52.216-22, Indefinite Quantity (Oct 1995) - see RFQ Enclosure 2, for the full text of this clause and for additional applicable FAR clauses. QUESTIONS: Questions or requests for clarification regarding this RFQ must be submitted electronically via email to Mr. Richard Sandage at richard.sandage@nara.gov no later than 2:00 PM E.T. on September 6, 2019 to be considered. Questions submitted at a later date will not be answered. Contractors are cautioned to allow one extra business day for delivery. The Government will answer questions or requests for clarification via a written RFQ amendment. RFQ CLOSE DATE: Quotations should be received by 2:00 PM E.T. on September 13, 2019. Failure to submit quotations in accordance with the RFQ, by the due date may result in rejection of the quotation as untimely. CONTRACT TYPE: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) intends to issue an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with firm-fixed unit prices. NARA anticipates issuance of the first delivery order immediately upon award of the contract. AFFIRMATION STATEMENTS: Supplies furnished under this RFQ are of domestic origin unless otherwise indicated by contractor. Contractors must include the country name for the Place of Manufacture (End Product) for each CLIN in their quotation submission in order to assist with Congressional reporting requirements of end products manufactured outside of the United States, see FAR subpart 25.004. Contractors must complete and return RFQ Attachment 2 RFQ Information Sheet, in order for their quotations to be considered. It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that NARA is not provided either counterfeit or grey market products. In the event that such IT products are determined to be counterfeit or grey market, NARA will seek all available legal remedies including criminal prosecution. Counterfeit information technology product means any item of information technology (IT), including hardware and software that is an unauthorized copy, replica, or substitute. A grey market or gray market also known as parallel market is the trade of a commodity through distribution channels which, while legal, are unofficial, unauthorized, or unintended by the original manufacturer. As a result manufactures will not honor associated warranties and service agreements. Unless you, the Contractor, are authorized by the manufacturer to resell the particular items you are quoting in the USA, it is in your best interest as well as the Government's that you simply do not respond. NARA will verify with the manufacturers that the Contractor is an authorized reseller for this procurement. Any issues with the information provi`1ded by the manufacturer to the Government about the grey market status of the items must be addressed by the Contractor to the manufacturer. The Government will immediately cancel any contract based on quotation for grey market items. In an effort to further ensure NARA is receiving new, manufacturer approved Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) items and will receive the benefits of any warranties or other manufacturer guarantees, NARA requires contractors to submit with their quotation, written documentation from the OEM manufacturer that affirms the contractor's status as an authorized/certified OEM reseller of the items in the contractor's quotation.
