(vi) Description of Requirement

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service (FS), Intermountain Region, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, has a need for engine repairs to a Hotshot Crew Transporter (EN# 8058), a 2017 International, 4400:IH, with VIN 1HTMKSTN5HH575810, and mileage 101,339 miles. The Logan

IHC crew carrier EN 8058 has an engine oil leak. Diagnosis of the leak is difficult as it is around the air compressor system on the truck. A previous diagnosis stated that the front cover of the engine is cracked where it meets the air compressor system. The cover is split between the front and rear half. The repair calls for both the front and rear covers to be replaced along with various gaskets, oil pump housing, fluid, etc. including brand name or equal parts. The salient characteristics of these parts are that they are compatible with the vehicle.

Once repairs commence, if additional parts or labor are required to properly complete the repair, the contractor MUST first contact the Contract Specialist with a quote for these additional required repairs. The contractor SHALL NOT begin this additional work until they have received a modification to the contract which funds the additional repairs and incorporates that work into the contract. The Government SHALL NOT be responsible for any unauthorized repairs.

The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the quoter. Information obtained from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System

(PPIRS) database located at http//www.ppirs.gov is one of the sources that will be utilized. PPIRS functions as the central warehouse for performance assessment reports received from several Federal performance information collection systems and is sponsored by the DOD E-Business Office and administered by the Naval Sea Logistics Center Detachment Portsmouth.

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)), in the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Factor # 3 -Price: Award will be made to the quoter whose quote represents the best value to the

Government.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are equal in importance to price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote 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 a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
