This is a combined synopsis/solicitation (N63285-25-Q-S152) for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, Streamlined solicitation for commercial services, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

This announcement constitutes the only solicitation.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Northeast Field Office (NEFO) at Building 344, Naval Station (NAVSTA) Newport, RI has an existing single mode fiber cable (with 12 fiber strands within it) that are defunct and degraded. All fiber strands within that fiber cable need to be repaired to operate correctly, meeting or exceeding industry standards. In accordance with FAR Part 12 and 13, the NCIS Acquisition Division (Code 14B) is issuing a solicitation for the acquisition of such services. Required specifications are listed in Schedule of Supplies/Services. A Request for Quote (RFQ) is being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2025-05, Effective 08/07/2025, and Defense Federal Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Change 01/17/2025. It is the responsibility of the contractor to be familiar with the applicable provisions and clauses which can be accessed in full text at www.acquisition.gov.

To ensure accuracy and efficiency, could you please provide more details regarding the cable runs, such as estimated distances, number of drops, and any known obstructions?

PLEASE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN YOUR QUOTE:

Please submit quote responses to the Contract Specialists named above. Quotes must include company name, address, POC and email, CAGE Code, UEI number, TIN number and phone and fax numbers. Schedule of Supplies and Services, Unit and Extended Price shall be filled in. Failure to follow directions will cause the quotes to be unacceptable, deemed non-responsive. No other form of quotation will be accepted.

The Government intends to make an award to the responsive, responsible vendor that represents the best value to the Government, by virtue of being the lowest price, technically acceptable quote (See Schedule of Supplies/Services). Quotes determined to have passed the technical capability requirements will then be evaluated for the lowest price. Quotes shall be evaluated for technical acceptability (only) on an acceptable/unacceptable basis and will not be rated.

This is a notice that this order is a total set aside for Small Business. Only quotes submitted by small business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote submitted by a contractor that is not small business concern will not be considered for award. Only one firm fixed-price order will be issued.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award an order without discussions with vendors. Therefore, the vendor's initial quote should contain the vendor's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

FAR 52.212-2 ADDENDUM: EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS

The Government will award a purchase order 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: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) by meeting the requirements capabilities listed on ITEM NUMBER 0001.

Award shall be made to the responsive and responsible offeror who has the lowest price and is technically acceptable. Requests having multiple line items shall be analyzed by the total cost of the quote and not by individual item. All items quoted must be new. No partial awards shall be made.

The Government will award a quote that includes the requested information. Partial quotes and/or quotes received after the closing date will not be accepted. This combined synopsis/ solicitation contains the clauses, terms, and conditions acceptable to the Government. Any quote that contains terms or conditions or any other vendor-specific or OEM-specific agreement regardless of how titled or described may be considered unacceptable for award. Vendors are on notice that if they choose to submit a document containing terms and conditions, they are required to demonstrate that those terms and conditions do not conflict with, or differ from, the RFQ's terms and conditions, as well as statute and regulation (e.g., Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)).

Compliance with this section is a component of technical acceptability. Accordingly, a quote that contains vendor-specific or OEM-specific terms and conditions that conflict with statutory or regulatory requirements, or are otherwise disadvantageous to the Government as noted above, may be determined unacceptable. Further, NO such terms and conditions will be accepted after award.
