This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Subpart 13.6, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. This notice is being issued as Request for Quotation (RFQ) Number CC-98-Q-0028 and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-04, as if stated in full text. The scope of work will be for the delivery of twenty-nine (29) multimedia projectors. The machines shall have the following characteristics: two (2) of the projectors must have a minimum brightness/light output or 1000 ANSI lumens (CLIN 0001A). The remaining twenty-seven (27) projectors(CLIN 0002A) must have a minimum brightness/light output of 650 ANSI lumens, and weigh less than 20 pounds. Note: the OCC's preference is for the 650 ANSI lumen (minimum) projectors to weigh less than 15 pounds, however all projects weighing less than 20 pounds will be considered. All of the projectors must be capable of projecting NTSC video images in Composite, S-Video, RGB analog format and IBM compatible desktop and laptop computers with standard VGA graphic cards. In addition all of the projectors must have a minimum resolution of 800x600 pixels -- true SVGA(uncompressed); built in stereo speakers (minimum 2 watt); S-Video/Video, Audio, and RGB input terminals; audio and RGB output terminals; and remote control (including Zoom lens feature). The OCC also anticipates the need to purchase fifty-four (54) extra lamps/bulbs (CLIN 0002B) for the 650 ANSI lumen machines (i.e., two additional lamps/bulbs per projector); as well as twenty-seven (27) hard-sided, padded travel cases (CLIN 0002C) with wheels and telescoping handle (preferably able to fit in an airplane overhead luggage compartment)for the 650 ANSI lumen machine. Note: at this time the OCC does not anticipate the need to purchase any additional lamps/bulbs or travel cases for the 1000 ANSI lumen machines. The Government intends to make a single award of a firm fixed priced order to the responsible offeror whose quote provides the best value to the Government. However, the Government reserves the right to make separate awards based on the specified minimum ANSI lumens (i.e., 1000 and 650); as well as separate awards for the additional lamps/bulbs and travel cases, if ordered. The Contractor is required to deliver the projectors, FOB destination, no later than July 1, 1998. The two (2) 1000 ANSI lumen (minimum) projectors shall be delivered to Comptroller of the Currency, Headquarters Office, 250 E Street, SW, (MS 1-4), Washington, DC, 20219, Attn: Ellen Morris; whereas twelve (12) of the 650 ANSI lumen (minimum) projectors (and their corresponding additional lamps and travel cases, if ordered) willshipped to OCC field offices located throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas; while fifteen (15) of the 650 ANSI lumen (minimum) projectors (and their corresponding additional lamps and travel cases, if ordered) shall be delivered to OCC field offices located throughout North and South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois. Note: The specific delivery locations for the projectors will be provided to the successful contractor(s). The FAR provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The FAR provisions at 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items is also applicable and includes the following addenda: Paragraph (a) is hereby modified to identify the following evaluation factors: 1) conformance with technical specifications; 2) the offeror's proposed delivery schedule; and 3) the offeror's proposed commercial warranty (must be a minimum of one (1) year). In determining which proposal offers the greatest value or advantage to the Government, overall technical merit will be considered significantly more important than price or cost to the Government. In determining which of the machine's offers the greatest technical merit, conformance to technical specifications will be weighted higher than the proposed delivery schedule and one year commercial warranty, which will be of equal importance. Between substantially equal proposals, the proposed price or cost will become the determining factor in selection for award. Between proposals with different technical ratings, a determination will be made as to whether the additional technical merit or benefits reflected by a higher priced proposal warrants payment of the additional price or cost. FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition and includes the following addenda: Paragraph (a) is hereby modified to identify the constructive acceptance period of seven (7) calendar days after delivery. FAR clause 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes Or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition and the following clauses cited in the clause are applicable to this acquisition; 52.203-6, Restrictions on Subcontractor Sales to the Government (Alternate I); 52.203-10, Price of Fee Adjustment for Illegal or Improper Activity; 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns and Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns; 52.219-14, Limitation on Subcontracting; 52.222-26, Equal Opportunity; 52.222-35, Affirmative Action for Special Disabled and Vietnam Era Veterans; 52.222-36, Affirmative Action for Handicapped Workers; and 52.222-37, Employment Reports on Special Disabled Veterans and Veterans of the Vietnam Era.
