This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared IAW 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 separate written solicitation will not be issued.

The solicitation number for this RFQ is 0000008209. All firms or individuals responding must be registered with the Central Contractor Registration CCR), which can be found at http://www.ccr.gov. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-23 and DCN 20060412.

The OCC anticipates award of a firm fixed price purchase order, with a delivery date no later than 20 days after the Government Printing Office releases the new 2012 publications of each volume or contract award- whichever is later.

This is a small business set-aside procurement.

NAICS: 424920

Size Standard: 100 The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) requires a responsible vendor to provide hard copy printings of 2012 Code of Federal Regulation volumes.

Delivery must be made within 20 business days of release of the current year, 2012, (not prior calendar year) CFR Title by the Government Printing Office (GPO), on a rolling basis throughout the year as current year titles are released, or within 20 business days of the award of the contract, whichever is later. For example, for a contract awarded in May of 2012 containing an order for Title 29 volumes, it would be unacceptable for the contractor to provide 2011 editions of Title 29 to fulfill the contract requirements. The contractor would instead be required to deliver 2012 editions of Title 29 within 20 days of release by the GPO, which normally would be July of 2012. (Titles 1–16 are updated on January 1; Titles 17–27 are updated on April 1; Titles 28–41 are updated on July 1; Titles 42–50 are updated on October 1). The contractor must have the capacity to fill the entire Title order at the same time, i.e., delivery cannot be staggered or delayed beyond the 20 day delivery period post-GPO release or post-award of contract, whichever is later, while additional volumes are procured or printed by the contractor to make up the full number of volumes ordered.

The OCC requires the following volumes and quantities (in submitting the vendor’s quote the cells highlighted in yellow must be filled out):

TOTAL PRICE

Delivery of Volumes: The vendor must include appropriate price information, to include shipping of the volumes to various OCC locations as listed in Attachment A.

Price(s) shall be FOB Destination.
