15 March 2023

12.603 Streamlined solicitation for commercial products or commercial services procedures are being used, the synopsis required by 5.203 and solicitation is being issued as a single document.

Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in subpart 12.6, 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.

The solicitation number is FA820123Q0010 and the solicitation is issued as a request for quotation

(RFQ).

The Hill Aerospace Museum requires 24” steel stanchions for collection security, visibility and display standardization. From our research, Casewerks is the only company that offers a custom option to fabricate steel stanchions at the required 24” height with the additional required feature of affixing signage directly to the stand rather than leaving it free-standing nearby. Additionally, other stanchions have retractable barrier tape, which do not meet collection protection requirements. The Casewerks stanchions use a non-retractable cord.

Federal Acquisition Circular: The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2023-01 12/30/2022.

Set Aside: This is a Total Small Business Set Aside under NAICS 337215 - Showcase, Partition, Shelving, and Locker Manufacturing, with small business size standard of 500 employees. The Federal Supply Code (FSC) is 9905 Signs, Advertising Displays, and Identification Plates.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures.

FACTORS

(i) Price Offerors shall input prices for CLIN 0001 in accordance with 52.212-1 Instructions. A no bid or an omitted price may result in an incomplete, unacceptable quote.

A price evaluation will be performed for all offerors and quotes will be ranked from lowest to highest price based on Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

TEP will consist of the value for CLIN 0001.

The TEP is for evaluation purposes only; however, the TOTAL ESTIMATED FIRM FIXED PRICE (FFP) is contractually binding and is used for the award.

Cost or Pricing Data. In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support a determination of price reasonableness. Data shall be provided IAW FAR 15.403-5, Instructions for Submission of Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data other than Certified Cost or Pricing Data.

If the lowest price offeror based on TEP is not technically acceptable, evaluations may continue and award to the next lowest priced technically acceptable offeror or set a competitive range that may include some or all of the offerors.

It is possible that higher priced offers will not be evaluated for technical acceptability.

To be technically acceptable, the documentation provided must demonstrate how the requirements of the CLIN 0001 Description including the delivery dates of On or Before 60 days after receipt of order will be met.
