This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR PART13, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

Competitive quotes are being requested under 36C24218Q9674. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NACIS) code for the procurement is 811213. The Department of Veterans Affairs has a requirement for the CONVERSION OF AUTOMOBILE ( Tahoe) INTO POLICE EMERGENCY VEHICLE, by providing and installing equipment, lights and sirens.

In order to receive an award, all contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management under above NAICS code.

This procurement is being competed as “UNRESTRICTED” and in accordance with regulations at FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items.

The government intends to make a single award for this requirement. Quotes for less than the required items will not be accepted. The government intends to award without discussions while reserving the right to communicate with offerors if determined advantageous to the government. Offerors are encouraged to provide their best quoted pricing in their initial quote.

FAR Clause 52.212-2 - Evaluation Factors - Commercial Items:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

All quotes submitted will be evaluated for (1) Technical Capability (2) Past Performance and (3) Price. The government will issue an award to the offeror whose quote is the Lowest Price of those determined to meet at least the minimum requirements to be determined Technically Capable.

(1) Technical Capability is defined as the documented capability to meet the minimum requirements of the project as specified in this solicitation and the attached specifications, including evidence of the offeror's capability to provide the service specified and the ability to meet the Period of Performance.

It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient documentation and information for the Government to determine technical capability and quoted price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical capability and quoted price may be cause for rejection of your quote.

Before a complete evaluation of your quote can be made offerors must provide "Offeror Representations and Certifications" for their company.
