1. Title

NCCIH 2019 Spinning Disk System Service Contract

2. Background

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is dedicated to exploring complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of rigorous science; educating and training NCCIH researchers; and disseminating authoritative information to the public and professionals. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), Division of Extramural Research and Training is responsible for fostering quality research and training in complementary and alternative medicine and for the review of applications submitted to NCCIH.

NCCIH requires a service contract for an existing Nikon Spinning Disk System. The existing Nikon Spinning Disk System equipment is used for NCCIH electrophysiological experiments that require high speed imaging of living cells that express fluorescent proteins in mouse brain slices. This will be used in the continuation of previous research and thus requires the same services from Nikon to ensure consistency in data and decreased variability.

3. Objective

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), on behalf of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), plans to procure a One-Year Base and four One-Year Options service contract for one (1) existing Nikon Spinning Disk System, in accordance with this solicitation and the specifications outlined in this RFQ.

(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:

1. Technical

2. Price

All technical evaluation factors, when combined, are more important than cost/price. The Government reserves the right to make an award to the best advantage of the Government, along with cost and other considering factors.

The evaluation shall be based on the demonstrated capabilities of the prospective contractor in relation to the needs of the project set forth within this request for quotation (RFQ). The merits of each quote shall be evaluated carefully. The quote must document the feasibility of successful implementation of the RFQ. The Offeror must submit information sufficient to evaluate their quote based on the detailed factors listed below.

Rating Criteria

Technical - The offeror must provide a quote for equipment that conforms to all aspects of this solicitation.

Price - Offeror(s) cost/price proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.

Past performance will be evaluated separately as part of Offeror responsibility.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent

NCCIH 2019 Spinning Disk System Service Contract Page 22 of 40 tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

I The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126).
