The North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS) is 332710, with a Small Business Size Standard of 500 Emp, PSC: 3408. A firm-fixed price purchase order will be issued.

DESCRIPTION: See Atch 1 - T9_Second_TAD_Sting_SOW.pdf

SET-ASIDE: This acquisition shall be a 100% small business set-aside.

BASIS FOR AWARD:

The Government anticipates issuing a firm-fixed price purchase order resulting from this request to the responsible vendor whose quote conforms to the solicitation and whose quote will be most advantageous and in the best interest to the Government; however, the Government reserves the right to cancel, revise and reissue this combined synopsis solicitation if determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

The vendor shall conform to the following evaluation factors:

1. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) shall be the primary means for quote evaluation.

All quotes will be sorted from lowest total evaluated price to highest total evaluated price; the total evaluated price equals the sum of CLIN 0001 - CLIN 0005. The lowest priced quote will be evaluated first. If the lowest priced quote is found technically acceptable, evaluations will stop and steps will begin to award to that vendor. If the lowest priced quote is found technically unacceptable, then the second lowest priced quote will be evaluated. This process will continue until a quote is determined technically acceptable. The vendor acknowledges the means for LPTA evaluation by submitting a quote.

2. The vendor shall submit a technical approach that details a viable solution for how the requirements in the attached SOW will be met and a viable timeline for how the SOW requirements will be met.

3. The vendor shall submit a minimum of four different views of a 3D high level concept design model of the proposed storage solution (CLIN 5) in order for the Government to determine the viability of the design. The views shall show the approximate size and layout of the structure in order for the Government to determine the viability of the design. The concept design model only needs enough detail to convey the proposed design concept; however, it shall include an explanation of how the TAD sting’s level plates will be measured to within the 0.01° requirement.

4. The vendor shall provide detailed pricing for CLINs 0001 – 0005 in accordance with Atch 1 – T9_Second_TAD_Sting_SOW.

5) In accordance with FAR 52.204-7, System for Award management (Oct 2018), the vendor shall be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award.

NOTE: Clarifications are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Quoter that may address any aspect of the quote and may or may not be documented in real time.

The Government intends to make award based on the initial quote submissions without conducting clarifications. Therefore, each Quote should contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct clarifications, during the evaluation, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Quoter’s responses to clarifications will be considered in making the award selection decision. Clarifications may be conducted with one, some or all Quoters as the Government is not required to conduct clarifications with any or all Quoters responding to this combined synopsis solicitation.
