This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ), numbered FA440726Q8003, and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2026-01.

Funds are NOT presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs.

Award methodology used under this acquisition is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

First, the Government will rank quotes which conform to the requirements from lowest price to highest price. Next, the Government will evaluate the lowest priced offeror for technical acceptability as follows:

Technically Acceptable – quote and product description/specifications meets all the requirements of the FOPR and its attachments. Technically Unacceptable - quote and/or product description/specifications does not meet all the requirements of this FOPR and its attachments.

If the quote with the lowest price is determined technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the offeror’s total aggregate price for completeness, reasonableness, and unbalanced https://www.google.com/url?q=mailto%3Ashawna.kuebler.1%40us.af.mil pricing. In order to determine price fair and reasonable, the evaluation process may continue until reaching two technically acceptable quotes (to establish adequate price competition). If the lowest priced quote is technically acceptable and the price is complete and reasonable, that offeror’s quote represents the best value to the Government and award will be made to that offeror. If the lowest priced quote is not technically acceptable, the Government will consider the correction potential and may enter into interchanges with that offeror. If, after interchanges with that offeror, their quote is technically acceptable and remains the lowest priced, the delivery order will be awarded to that offeror. If the Government deems the quote not easily correctable, or if at any time it becomes other than the lowest priced quote, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability, followed by an analysis of their price to verify reasonableness and completeness. Interchanges will take place as necessary or deemed appropriate by the Government. This evaluation process will be repeated until reaching a technically acceptable quote, or until all quotes are evaluated.

The selection for the award will be made based on technical acceptance by the Government of the resultant quote and the Contracting Officer’s (CO) ability to deem pricing fair and reasonable.

From this RFQ, a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), single award is anticipated.

This acquisition is made using a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS Code 423820 – Farm and Garden Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers with small business size standard of 125 employees and PSC code 3825 - road clearing, cleaning, and marking equipment.

Ombudsman

a. An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.

b. Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).

c. If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Ms. Lisa A. Gross, 510 POW/MIA Drive, Scott AFB IL 62225-5022, 618- 299- 0267, lisa.gross@us.af.mil of AFICC/KM.
