This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 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.  This procurement is under a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333515 size standard of 500 employees. An Offeror’s submission of a quote does not constitute a contract or authorize work to begin.  This document is not legally binding and does not commit the US Government in any way.   

This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-03 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement Publication Notice (DPN) 20250117.

In accordance with FAR 12.102(c), when a policy in another part is inconsistent with FAR Part 12, Part 12 shall take precedence.

Basis for Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors are listed in no specific order of precedence and will be used to evaluate quotations:

• Technical
• Price
• Past performance

Evaluation:

Technical: Quotes meeting all specifications outlined in this solicitation will be deemed technically capable. This is a brand-name requirement and only quotes for the brand-name product will be considered for award. No substitutes will be accepted.

Price Reasonableness: Will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a).  The total quoted price, to include shipping costs, will be used in the price evaluation.

Past Performance: Evaluation will use procedures outlined in DFARS 204.7603 and described in provision 252.204-7024, incorporated herein.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
