1.1 Type of Contract

This is a firm fixed price supply contract. Prices are FOB destination (i.e., include freight).

1.1.1 Evaluation Criteria

This is a best value trade-off acquisition in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations part 15.

Evaluation will occur in accordance with FAR 12, 13, and 15 as applicable.

The following criteria will be used to evaluate quotes. Higher evaluated quotes will receive a greater percentage of orders.

1) Price

2) Warranty

a. Contractors will receive a higher rating for a longer and/or more comprehensive warranty.

3) Extension of pricing (including trade-ins) to official agencies.

a. Hundreds of other entities (also known as official agencies) use the Grain Moisture

Meters for various types of collection and evaluation.

b. Higher ratings will be given to companies who extend their pricing (1.0) to official agencies. Pricing will be good for one year unless otherwise indicated.

AG-6395-S-12-0027 Grain Moisture Meters Page 5 of 22

4) Delivery

a. In accordance with 1.4.1 below deliver is required in June 2012. If companies cannot make that delivery date higher ratings will be given to quotes that are closer to the required date or which can provide a higher quantity of meters by that date (in the case of split delivery schedules).

5) Past Performance

Past Performance and other criteria, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

1.2 Split Award

GIPSA intends to split the purchase among viable alternatives to ensure the continued availability of UGMA-compatible instruments from multiple sources. Since all NTEP/UGMA-certified instruments will be on the GIPSA Approved Equipment List the headquarters lab must, at a minimum, maintain copies of all models. Each of the two available vendors will receive an award for at least 30 of the 105 total instruments. The split of the remaining 45 instruments among the two vendors will be based on best-value considerations such as unit price, extended warranty, and availability of the contract price to other entities that are Official Service Providers.

http://www.gipsa.usda.gov/fgis/svc_provid/providers.html

There are 30 delivery locations, 17 of which will receive more than one instrument. If a location is going to get more than one instrument delivery will be split amongst the vendors so at least one of each instrument will be delivered to the location.

1.3 Ordering period

Orders can be placed for additional instruments at the amounts specified above for a period of one year (see 52.217-6 Option for Increased Quantity (Mar 1989)). Freight any additional quantities after the initial award may be calculated at time of order.

1.4 Delivery

1.4.1 Delivery Date

Delivery is required on June 15, 2012 to allow for full implementation by September 1, 2012.

If the contractor cannot meet this date that information MUST be included in their quote with a revised and/or staggered delivery schedule.

1.4.2 Delivery Location

As per 1.0 above. Contact information for the delivery locations will be provided at award.

2.0 Statement of Work

2.1 Background

The U.S. Department of Agriculture operates a laboratory in a privately-owned building: 10383 North Ambassador Drive, Kansas City Missouri 64153. The laboratory operates under the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), Technology and Science Division (TSD).

The USDA GIPSA Technology and Science Division is responsible for maintaining the reference methods for all official services provided by GIPSA to facilitate the marketing of grain. It is also responsible for developing and maintaining methods for accurately predicting the quality of grain and grain products moving through the U.S. marketplace. In order to provide the highest quality service needed to minimize variability in the testing methods, GIPSA has standardized to specific methods and/or equipment within the Official Inspection Service. Only these specific methods/equipment can be used by any entity providing testing service as either a GIPSA lab, an official agency, or State that is designated or delegated to perform work on behalf of GIPSA.

Measuring moisture content in grain is a critical factor for official inspection. To obtain accurate, repeatable, and fast results required for official grain inspection, GIPSA has long used moisture meter technology. Currently GIPSA is using Dickey-john’s GAC2100 as the exclusively allowed moisture meter within the Official Inspection system. This instrument has been in use for over 10 years and is at the end of its lifespan. The GAC2100 requires maintenance of separate calibrations for each type of grain/oilseed which is a significant cost to GIPSA.

For many years GIPSA has conducted research into new technology to improve the accuracy and repeatability of grain moisture meter testing. The research found benefits to measuring at a higher radio frequency (about 149 MHz). The result is the development of the Unified Grain Moisture Algorithm (UGMA). GIPSA’s research over multiple crop types and years showed that using the UGMA greatly improved the accuracy and precision of moisture results, reduced the "moisture rebound" effect associated with freshly harvested grain, and required only one calibration curve for all types of grains and oilseeds (though a few simple “unifying parameters” are required for each “grain group”). Basically the effects of variables such as sample temperature, geographic origin, variety, crop year, density and kernel moisture distribution are greatly reduced when using the UGMA technology.

During the course of the research, GIPSA has made information available and, when requested and Non-disclosure Agreements signed, provided assistance in developing UGMA-compatible instruments. GIPSA has been working directly (although confidentially) with several manufacturers. GIPSA’s intent to standardize on this technology has been publicized for almost 10 years and GIPSA’s Grain Inspection Advisory Committee was updated on the technology multiple times and has recommended proceeding in this technology.

2.2 Instrument Requirements

The two prime technical requirements for instruments are they MUST have NTEP-certification through GIPSA’s TSD lab and they MUST be certified as UGMA-compatible through testing by the TSD lab.

UGMA-compatibility is crucial to permit the instruments to utilize GIPSA’s UGMA calibrations and to give equivalent results to any other UGMA-compatible moisture meter.

AG-6395-S-12-0027 Grain Moisture Meters Page 7 of 22

A one-year warranty is expected to be included for each instrument at no additional charge. The life cycle of the equipment is expected to be at least 10 years. Since the meters would have NTEP-certification and be certified as UGMA-compliant through testing by the TSD lab, first-article testing is not needed. The current NTEP-certified instruments are currently present in the TSD laboratories participating in the ongoing NTEP grain moisture meter calibration program, so TSD is collecting extensive data that can be used for further assessment of UGMA-compatibility.
