This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 "Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items", as supplemented with additional information included on this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. The Government intends to issue a purchase order in accordance with FAR Part 13 for using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The solicitation number is 36C24719Q1146. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ).

The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 339113 and Product Service Code (PSC) 7110.

The evaluation of offers received in response to the solicitation will use a tiered or cascading order of precedence. “Tiered evaluation of offers,” also known as “cascading evaluation of offers,” is a procedure used in negotiated acquisitions when market research is inconclusive for justifying limiting competition to small business concerns or sub-categories of small business concerns. The contracting officer—

(1) Solicits offers from both small and other than small business concerns that will be evaluated in the following tier order:

(a) service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB); MUST BE VET BIZ CERTIFIED

(b) veteran-owned small business (VOSB); MUST BE VET BIZ CERTIFIED

(c) All other small business concerns;

(d) Other than small business.

(2) If an award or a sufficient number of awards cannot be made at the first tier, evaluation of offers will proceed at the next lower tier until an award or a sufficient number of awards can be made.

The acquisition will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR 13 to use simplified procedures for commercial items.
