Interested parties must within 15 days from the date of this synopsis appears in the CBD, request a copy of Equipment Specification 1550-100-BOA and the desriptive Chiller Data Form (CDF). The date for receipt of offers from interested parties will be specified by LMES on the Request for Proposal or other authorized form being used to transmit the Equipment Specification and the CDF. Interested parties requesting a copy of the Equipment Specification and the CDF, if other than a party listed under the BOA and if other than a manufacturer, will be required to submit with their offer either (1) a letter of commitment from the manufacturer which will assure that the offeror has a source of supply sufficient to satisfy the Government's requirements, OR (2) evidence that the offeror will have an uninterrupted source of supply from which to satisfy the Government's requirements for the period of the BOA. Offerors other than a party listed under the BOA must also provide Certification that their Quality Assurance Program (QAP) meets the guidelines of the International Standards Organization (ISO 9000 Series Standards) pursuant to Section 8.0 of the Equipment Specification. In the event an interested party does not have a QAP that has been certified by ISO 9000, then a copy of the company's commercial QAP which addresses the elements specified in Section 8.2 of the Equipment Specification must be provided for review and acceptance by LMES. Failure to submit a letter of commitment or evidence of an uninterrupted source of supply, and QAP Certification or equivalent commercial QAP for review with the offer will render the offer technically unacceptable. All responses from responsible sources will be fully considered. After receipt of all offers in response to the RFP or other authorized form, the contracting officer shall determine whether to issue a subcontract under the BOA or to issue a solicitation. If it is determined that a solicitation will be issued, no additional synopsis will be published. Any such solicitation will be issued to all firms that responded to the synopsis of intent or otherwise request a copy of the solicitation. Copies of such solicitation will also be provided to all parties listed under the BOA. This solicitation will run for 15 days in the CBD. (0246)
