Descriptive literature/brochures and (proof software/hardware authorized to operate on USMC-N00027-NGEN-U Network) required with all quotes bidding equal. This agency will not be responsible for locating or obtaining any information not included on the face of the offer or a hardcopy attachment to the offer in a response to this solicitation.

This requirement is set-aside 100% for Small Business. The applicable NAICS is 334210 and the size standard is 1,250 employees. A waiver to the Non-Manufacture Rule applies.

Market research conducted via GSA e-Buy, the Small Business Dynamic Search (SBDS), the WWW revealed that although the items are available through GSA e-Buy, the items are only available via one ‘other than small business.’ There is a reasonable expectation of obtaining two or more offers from small business concerns via the open market.

FAR Part 19.502-2 (a) Each acquisition of supplies or services that has an anticipated dollar value exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, is automatically reserved exclusively for small business concerns and shall be set aside for small business unless the contracting officer determines there is not a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two or more responsible small business concerns that are competitive in terms of market prices, quality, and delivery.

Marine Forces Reserve Small Business Program Deputy Director concurs with this action.

All products shall be delivered to the Government Not Later Than 24 August 2018. The Government will configure and complete the installation. Support shall begin Not Later Than 28 September 2018. (The Government anticipates contract award Not Later Than 10 August 2018).

All bids should include an overall total price in addition to individual pricing by contract line item (CLIN) 9All responsible sources may submit a quotation which, if received in a timely manner, should be considered by the agency.

10 Award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable (LPTA) offer. See FAR 52.212-2 herein for technical evaluation procedures.

11 The Government will accept Open Market or GSA offers in response to this solicitation.

13 Method of Invoicing/Payment: Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) DFARS 252.232-7006 WAWF Instructions.

14 Any direct customer contact by Bidders is not authorized during the solicitation phase or your bid may be at risk of being eliminated from consideration for this solicitation.

18 The Government reserves the right to make award solely on initial quotes received; award will be made on an all or none basis. All items shall be compatible in terms of form, fit and function.

19 Offerors bear the burden of ensuring that all portions of the offer (and any authorized amendments) reach the designated office before the deadline specified in the solicitation.

As a minimum software warranties should cover the performance of all required product capabilities, free from defects/bugs, for all intended authorized users, process for reporting/fixing defects remedied at no charge to the Government, effective after Government tests of delivered software product(s), and include the seller/reseller's return policy and procedures.

35 End User Licensing Agreement: Bidders shall include End User Licensing Agreement (EULA)/ Warranty with all bids consistent with terms of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.212-4, paragraph (u), Unauthorized Obligations, to be considered responsive to this solicitation.

(1) Whether the offeror, and/or any of its principals, has or has not, within the last five years, in connection with the award to or performance by the offeror of a Federal contract or grant, been the subject of a proceeding, at the Federal or State level that resulted in any of the following dispositions:

(2) If the offeror has been involved in the last five years in any of the occurrences listed in (c)(1) of this provision, whether the offeror has provided the requested information with regard to each occurrence.

(d) The offeror shall post the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(iv) of this provision in FAPIIS as required through maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management database via https://www.acquisition.gov (see 52.204-7).

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Offers will be ranked lowest to highest according to price. The lowest price offer will be forwarded to the requiring activity for technical evaluation (offer will be deemed either technically acceptable or technically unacceptable). If the lowest price offer is found technically acceptable and its price is determined fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer, evaluation will be deemed complete and award will be made based on the lowest price offer. If the lowest price offer is determined technically unacceptable, the next lowest price offer will be sent for technical evaluation and price analysis. This process is repeated in order of price until an offer is deemed technically acceptable and price is determined fair and reasonable. The actual evaluation template is incorporated into this solicitation for reference.
