Statement of Work

1. BACKGROUND

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is an intravenous feeding method indicated for those patients who require complete bowel rest or fail to obtain nourishment from a dysfunctional gastrointestinal tract. The full daily caloric requirement can be met with parenteral delivery of macronutrients (carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats), as well as the replacement of micronutrients (electrolytes, minerals, vitamins, and other additives), tailored to the individual patient. The majority of calories are supplied with carbohydrates, followed by lipids, then amino acids. TPN can be a lifesaving treatment for patients who are not able to absorb nutrition from their gut, but it can also lead to many severe complications if not formulated and prepared appropriately.

4. EVALUATION

The Government will award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to the responsible quoter using a comparative evaluation. The comparative evaluation will be performed in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3). The government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the government that exceeds the minimum but is not required to do so. Quoters are advised that quotation may exceed the requirements but the government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotes; each response must respond to the solicitation requirement, stated in the RFQ.

The government will apply the following comparative evaluation process as the basis for award:

Assess the direct comparison of one quote with another using a uniform and fair approach to determine which quote provides the government what it needs, where and when in accordance with the SOW and RFQ.

Once one quotation is found acceptable, it is compared to the remaining ones, and the “best” one is chosen for the best value to the government.

The Government may rely on internal documentation including the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and contracting officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with supply or service being acquired for determining Past Performance. If no record of past performance is found in FAPIS or PPIRS, the contract shall not receive a favorable or unfavorable rating, but shall receive a rating of neutral.

Price shall be submitted using the attached Price Schedule.

Information not contained in a vendor’s quote will not be considered during the evaluation. The Government intends to make award selection without clarification, but may determine after evaluating submitted quotes that the elements stated in FAR 13.106-2(b) for evaluation procedures are necessary, and conduct them as appropriate. The Government reserves the right to make no award if no quotes meet the requirements of this solicitation.
