Description

COMBINED SYNOPSIS SOLICITATION NOTICE 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 a single (all or none), firm fixed price award. 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. 36C10E20Q0004 the Combined Synopsis Solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2021-05. The combined synopsis/solicitation is being issued under full and open competition. The applicable NAICS Code for this solicitation is 334290 Alarm Systems and Equipment Manufacturing and the Small Business Size limitation is 750 employees. The contractor will provide, install and connect a fully integrated Physical Access Control System and security camera system to the Chicago Regional Office of the Veterans Benefits Administration.

All quotes shall be legible and prepared in the format referenced below. Part I - Executed Request for Quote and Price: The quoter is required to quote a fully burdened fixed price for the CLIN structure as shown in the above section v. Insert the quoted unit and extended prices in Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001. All prices shall be represented in two decimal positions only. Example: $0.27, not $0.27458.

The Government reserves the right to award without discussions based upon the initial evaluation of quotes.

(End of Addendum to 52.212-1) Quotes will be evaluated as follows: BASIS FOR AWARD: This requirement will be competed and awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The contracting techniques associated with FAR Part 15 do not apply. Following receipt of quotes, the government will perform an evaluation using a comparative analysis of the quotes, in an impartial manner. The government intends to compare what has been quoted to one another to select the quote(s) that is best suited to fulfill the requirement. The evaluation factors outlined in this request for quote will determine suitability. Technical capability and past performance when combined are more important than price. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsive, responsible quoter in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 and whose quote conforms to the solicitation, and provides the best value to the Government, price and other non-price factors considered. Since award may be made to the quoter with other than the lowest price, price is not necessarily the determining factor. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: EVALUATION FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY - The technical capability rating reflects the degree to which the proposed approach has demonstrated the ability to provide, design and install a Physical Access Control System and Integrated Security Camera System as required by the Statement of Work. The technical evaluation rating will be determined by evaluating the information quoters must provide as listed in the INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF QUOTE. EVALUATION FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE- see the attachment INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF QUOTE for a description of the past performance references quoters must provide. EVALUATION FACTOR 3: PRICE- The Quoter is required to quote a fully burdened fixed price for the CLIN structure as shown in Section v. Insert the quoted unit and extended price in Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001. All unit prices shall be represented in two decimal positions only. Example: $0.27, not $0.27458. The Government shall evaluate price to determine whether or not it is considered fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-3.
