Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Synopsis:

Combined Synopsis/Solicitation

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items 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; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The solicitation is issued as a request for quote. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside Competition with a North American Industrial Classification Systems (NAICS) OF 453310 – Used Merchandise Stores. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 453310 has a Small Business Size Standard of $7.0 Million and shall remain open for responsible sources to respond.

TSA intends to establish single or multiple BPA(s) to fulfill this requirement; however, the Government reserves the right to not award any BPA and does not guarantee any order placements. The resultant Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) award(s) will be five (5) years in duration with an aggregate total not to exceed ceiling amount of $800,000.00 amongst the BPA(s). The fixed price per unit will be determined based on a breakdown of all costs and delivery to various CONUS and OCONUS locations.

The Government anticipates award of BPAs within 60 days of receipt of quotes. The Government is obligated only to the extent of the authorized purchases made under the BPA.

1. REQUIRING ORGANIZATION

Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration NEDCTP K9 - 8th Floor, 8037 Oracle Building 6109 601 South 12th Street Arlington, VA 20598-6109

2. OBJECTIVE

The Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration, National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) intends to procure used luggage/baggage services for NEDCTP proprietary and Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) canine teams at locations throughout the United States. The NEDCTP requires luggage/baggage for both training and annual canine certifications.

3. BACKGROUND

The NEDCTP exists to deter and detect the introduction of explosives into the transportation system. Explosives Detection Canine Teams are a proven reliable resource to detect explosives and are key components in a balanced counter-sabotage program. The teams are acclimated to the unique characteristics of the airport and mass transit systems, and are well versed in searching many types of aircraft/mass transit systems/light rail and subways. The TSA-certified explosives detection canine teams combine excellent mobility with reliable detection rates.

NEDCTP allows local law enforcement agencies utilizing NEDCTP resources (canines) to solicit donated or free luggage/baggage from their local Airport or Airlines. Through this procurement, http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/ND448320.HTM#N448320�

TSA seeks to establish used luggage/baggage services for the teams that are deployed with TSA Federal handlers. TSA regulates Airports and Airlines, therefore, it would be a conflict of interest to solicit free or donated luggage/baggage items.

3. Each piece of Luggage/Baggage is to contain no more than five (5) articles of clothing.

4. Each piece of Luggage/Baggage is to contain toiletry items that would fit in a standard

Shaving Kit/ toiletry bag. (dimensions12" x 10.5" x 5"/ 6" x 6" x 2") Items may not be leaking or broken.
