About this file

This document provides questions and answers regarding solicitation number FA8132-20-Q-0019 from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center for the purchase of a Dual Media Shot Peen Machine. The solicitation seeks responses by May 27, 2020 at 12:00pm Central Standard Time. Evaluation will proceed in three gates, first assessing technical acceptability, then total evaluated price, and finally conformance with all solicitation requirements including terms, conditions, representations and certifications. While an ISO 9001 certification is not strictly necessary for response, the successful offeror must possess such a certification or equivalent in order to receive the award, as lack of certification will render the quote technically unacceptable.

1. Question – Can you please, in as few words as possible, provide an overview of the evaluation method for this RFQ?

Answer – Yes, but please note that this is a high-level overview and does NOT cover every detail of the evaluation procedures; the complete evaluation process is found in the addendums to FAR Provisions

52.212-1 and 52.212-2.

The evaluation method chosen is a three-gate method that evaluates the following in order:

1. Technical Acceptability of the system quoted;

2. Total Evaluated Price (TEP); and

3. Conformance to all of the solicitation requirements, including all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications.

This method was deemed the best method to ensure the government receives a high-quality machine that meets its needs at a competitive price

Again, this is a high-level overview and does NOT cover every detail of the evaluation procedures; the complete evaluation process is found in the addendums to FAR Provisions 52.212-1 and 52.212-2.

2. Question – We do not possess an ISO 9001 certification or equivalent for our equipment company.

Two of our other companies are certified in NADCAP AC7004. Is the ISO 9001 certification requirement or certification in an equivalent Quality Management Standard (QMS) an absolute necessity for quoting?

Answer – No: it is not a necessity for quoting, but it is essential the successful quoter have this in order to receive the award. The lack of certification in ISO 9001, AS 9100, or other equivalent QMS will render a quote technically unacceptable, and therefore, ineligible for award.
