83 -- PERSONAL FIELD GEAR ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT SOL 0316-923250(w) DUE 071400 POC Ruth Porter, Contracting Officer, FAX 202-776-8775 The INL Bureau is requesting offers for the purchase of some personal field gear items to be exported to Thailand. This procurement is a small business set aside. This notice is an amendment to CBD notice #465672 dated June 16,2000. This amendment is necessary due to the fact that the requesting office has made some changes in the specifications of three of the required items. Please contact the contracting officer at telefax number listed above. Vendors may make an offer on any or all of the requested items which still total 18 in all. Vendors who have already made an offer under CBD notice #465672 are requested to make the necessary changes in their offers in order to comply with the changes in the specifications on Items #3, 12, and 15. These vendors should also contact the contracting officer at the telefax number listed above to obtain the additonal information. Also, vendors who have already made an offer, may make any changes in any other items which they have already offered under the prior CBDnotice for this requirement. These items are URGENTLY Required. The Government will make an award to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the specifications (to be faxed out upon request to the contracting officer), and is most advantageous to the Government -- that which represents the Best Value to the Government. All offers which are rated technically sufficient will then be evaluated for delivery time ARO and cost/price. The proposed cost or price must be reasonable and reflect technical requirements. The Government may award to other than the lowest priced offer, if the delivery time for the lowest priced offer is significantly long as defined by the Govt. In the event that two or more offers are technically equivalent, then the cost/price and delivery time becomes primarily important. Vendors will be expected to ship the items by express mail directly to the American Embassy, Bangkok. Estimated shipping costs may be included as a separate line item in the offer and actual shipping costs may be invoiced to the Government after shipment. Note that all offers must be received by the contracting officer no later than 4:30 p.m., E.S.T. on July 14, 2000. Please fax your request for the specifications to Ruth Porter, Contracting Officer, at Fax #202-776-8775. All offers should also be faxed to that same number. All responsible offers will be considere by the Bureau***** Posted 07/11/00 (W-SN473465). (0193)
