SF 30 Amendment PA01 Solicitation 12639525Q0060.pdf

The SF 30 Amendment PA01 is related to a solicitation for sample sacks for the USDA's Cotton and Tobacco Program. The government intends to issue a single-award, firm fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for five years, with an anticipated award date of March 31, 2025. Vendors must submit two cotton sack samples (one regular and one small with flap) to the USDA office in Memphis, TN by 5:00 p.m. CT on March 12, 2025, to be evaluated against technical specifications.

Evaluation criteria include: (1) Technical Qualification - samples must meet Buy American Act requirements, (2) Experience and Past Performance - vendors must provide 2-5 references for similar contracts, and (3) Price - using the provided pricing spreadsheet. The contract is set aside for small businesses in NAICS code 314910 with a size standard of 500 employees. Award will be made to the most advantageous offer, with technical and past performance factors considered significantly more important than price. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit required documentation to the contract specialist via email.
