INSTRUCTIONS TO QUOTERS

1. FURNITURE INSTALL INFORMATION:

A. Estimated award date is: 10 May 2022

B. Required install dates are as follows:

Bavaria Buildings 402, 625, 680, 681, 682 Install Start not earlier than: 30 August 2022 Install Completion not later than: 13 September 2022

Bavaria Buildings 402, 625, 680, 681, 682 Contractor Furniture Install Start Date (FISD):

(insert date, not After Receipt of Order)

Contractor Furniture Install Completion Date (FICD):

(insert date, not After Receipt of Order)

C. Specific install instructions are contained in the Statement of Work (SOW), Attachment # 3.

2. SHIPPING/STORAGE INFORMATION

A. The Contractor shall ship goods on an FOB Destination basis.

B. Contractors shall quote six month’s storage cost in the SF-1449 form on each of the two storage CLINs to be considered eligible for award. If a storage fee is not included in pricing, the Contractor’s quote may be considered a non-conforming response to the solicitation. A quote for six months of storage is required for when the need for storage is identified prior to leaving the Continental United States (CONUS), and a quote for storage is required for when the need for storage is identified after items have departed CONUS. These two options for storage can be unilaterally exercised by the Contracting Officer for a combined total maximum of six months of storage. Storage needed for partial shipments will be prorated by the price of the items stored relative to the total price of all of the items ordered. Storage will only be funded by modification and at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Storage will be a firm fixed price amount.

Contractors shall take into account all costs necessary to store furnishings secure from theft, damage, and weather elements in case of any contingency en-route to installation.

If storage is required in excess of 6 months, a new amount will be negotiated. If the storage cost is incurred, fast payment procedures may be implemented in accordance with FAR 52.213-1. If storage is required, payment may be approved for 85% of the total supplies only. Installation and the remaining 15% of supplies will be approved for payment once all responsibilities have been completed as set forth in the contract.

Contractors shall coordinate delivery and installation with Government Technical Representative (TR) shown in the SOW, and save records of these communications with the goal of successful delivery and installation. This requirement for coordination includes, but is not limited to, communicating with the Government TR prior to shipping items in order to prevent unnecessarily expensive storage costs.

C. The Contractor shall provide a Certification of Conformance for any order that will be stored in a warehouse for which the Contractor desires partial payment in advance of installation of the furnishings. FAR 52.246-15 addresses how to complete a certificate of conformance, and can be found in Attachment # 4, “Order Clauses.”

D. Destination/Ship to Address and Transportation Information: See Table 1 in SOW, Attachment # 3.

3. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Inspection and Acceptance must be by the Government TR. See Table 1 in SOW, Attachment # 3.

5. CONTRACTING OFFICER’S INSTRUCTIONS AFTER AWARD

A. Only a warranted Contracting Officer (either a Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) or an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)), acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. If an individual other than the Contracting Officer attempts to make changes to the terms and conditions of this contract you shall not proceed with the change and shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

B. The Contractor shall be responsible to coordinate the installation of its items with the site Technical Representative at least 30 days before the installation start date. At this time any special security/install instructions will be provided by the Government to that Contractor. The Contractor shall refer to the Statement of Work (Attachment #3) for additional installation instructions. If additional days for installation are needed, a justification should be provided at the time of quote for approval by the Contracting Officer.

C. Security issues (e.g. getting on and off post), logistical discussions of the installation process shall be coordinated with the Furniture Management Officer (FMO).

D. If a subcontracted GSA item is found to be unavailable after award, and Government acceptance of a substituted item is requested, the Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer copies of the GSA contract terms and conditions along with the technical data sheets for the proposed substitute item.

E. Safety Plans. The Contractor shall be responsible for submitting a completed safety plan within one month after contract award, or where expedited installation is required NLT 10 days before installation. NO installation will be permitted without an approved safety plan. The Contractor shall not begin installing items until a safety plan has been submitted to and approved by the Government. All safety plans shall be emailed to:

furnishinginvoices@usace.army.mil

F. The Contractor shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations of the installation, including but not limited to, the following: No weapons of any kind are to be carried by any person or transported in any vehicle entering an Army installation. Truck drivers carrying any kind of weapon will be denied access to the Army installation.

G. If requested by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall provide reports for quoted items.

6. INVOICES

B. All invoices shall be emailed to the following email address for processing:

FurnishingInvoices@usace.army.mil

B. The Contractor shall complete the furniture installation schedule under FURNITURE INSTALL INFORMATION and include in the quote submission.

C. All quoted items shall meet the specifications defined in the Furniture Item Description (FID), Attachment # 2.

D. Contractors shall provide name brand and model numbers for all quoted items, including pass-thru items and those manufactured by the Contractor.

E. Technical Data Sheets Required. The Contractor shall provide current and complete cut sheets for all items specified in the FID, unless otherwise specified. All salient features of items specified in the FID must be addressed on the cut sheets. When the Contractor provides more than one cut sheet for an item specified in the FID, the cut sheets and supporting documentation shall be highlighted or contain other markings that bring immediate attention to information, and enables the Government to remove all doubt whether a contractor has or has not met the specifications shown in Attachment #2. The burden of providing information, which shall be organized and sequential according to the FID, is the responsibility of the Contractor. The Government will not be held responsible for contractor information that is not organized and sequential according to Attachments # 1 & 2, or not highlighted (if within a larger document and used as proof), which prevents conclusive comparisons between the Contractor’s quoted items and the requirements during technical review.

F. Electronic Price Quote is Required. Attachment #1, “Line Item Pricing,” will be provided in an Excel spreadsheet format by the Government. The Contractor shall submit the completed Attachment #1 in Excel format to the Government by the deadline for submission of quotes set forth in this RFQ.

I. Multiple quotes are not acceptable for this RFQ. If multiple quotes are received, only one quote (as determined by the Contracting Officer) will be evaluated by the Government.

K. The Contractor shall be bound by the monthly storage fee quoted for an option for a maximum period of six months that may be unilaterally exercised by the Contracting Officer in one-month increments. If a storage fee is not included in the Contractor’s quote, the Contractor’s quote may be considered a non-conforming response to the solicitation.

L. When drawings are included as attachments, they are for visualization purposes only. The FID takes precedence over drawings unless otherwise stated. Site conditions may not align with drawings. Post-award site verifications are the responsibility of the Contractor.

M. Contractors shall submit the following with its quotation:

Company Name:

Cage Code:

Taxpayer Identification Number:

Duns Number:

POC Name:

Email Address:

Phone Number:

Mailing address

N. The Contractor shall be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with no exclusions.

8. SUBMISSION, MODIFICATION AND REVISION OF QUOTES

A. Contracting documents (SF1449, SF30, Attachment # 1 in Excel format, Attachment # 7 in Word format) and technical documents (cut sheets and other supporting documents demonstrating quoted items meet the FID requirements) together create the quote. The terms, “quote,” “RFQ response,” and “response” have the same meaning in this section.

B. Quotes shall be submitted by the contractor to the Government in email, using as many emails as required to deliver a complete quote. When multiple emails are used to deliver a complete quote, contractors shall state their number to the Government.

Currently, Huntsville Center supports up to 10MB of content per email.

C. It is recommended that contractors use AMRDEC SAFE, a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site located at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/ as a backup method of submitting their quotes. If an FTP site is used, the contractor shall inform the Contract Specialist in email no later than the due date and time for quotes, as well as provide a functioning link, username, and password.

D. The Government must have in its possession the contractor’s entire quote by the RFQ due date and time.

E. Contractors shall return to the Government in the same Word version format received, their responses to the Government’s requests for clarification.

F. Contractors shall not merge into a single PDF document both the technical documents (cut sheets and other supporting documents demonstrating quoted items meet the FID requirements) and the contracting documents (SF18, SF30, Attachment #1 in Excel format, Attachment # 7 in Word format).

G. Contractors shall not intentionally quote items that do not meet the specifications of the primary requirements. The primary requirements for Administrative Office Furniture

(Admin) are defined as office furniture systems and, if included in the FID, wood casegoods. The Government’s intent is to receive timely quotes that are organized, complete and technically acceptable, with no need or a minimal need for clarifications.

Quotes that do not meet the specifications of the primary requirements (documented during technical review) may receive no further consideration for award.

9. NON-CONFORMING RESPONSES

The Government is not required to accept non-conforming responses. Non-conforming responses may not receive a technical evaluation, and may not receive consideration for award. The following types of responses are considered non-conforming:

A. A Contractor’s quote that does not meet the specifications of the primary requirements.

B. A Contractor’s submittal of technical documents (cut sheets and other supporting documents demonstrating quoted items meet the FID requirements) and contracting documents (SF18, SF30, Attachment # 1 in Excel, and Attachment # 7 in Word) merged into a single PDF document.

C. A Contractor’s submittal of technical documents that is incomplete or is not organized and sequential according to the FID preventing a conclusive comparison between the Contractor’s quote and the Government’s requirement.

D. A Contractor’s failure to respond to the Government’s request for clarifications in the same Word format received, in order for the Government to be able to continue to record communications with the contractor on the same form.

E. A Contractor’s submittal of electronic documents whose file names do not reflect their general content, which do not enable the reader to locate information without opening documents repeatedly to be reminded of their contents, and which harm the Government’s ability to perform technical review or other examination.

10. LATE RESPONSES / NON-RESPONSIVENESS

Late responses are in all cases contractor responses that are not in the Government’s possession by the stated due date and time.

11. AMENDMENTS

The Government may amend the RFQ for reasons that include extending the due date for submission of quotes, construction delays of buildings to be furnished, changing market conditions or Government requirements, or for other reasons that clarify the needs of the Government.

12. QUESTIONS

A. All questions shall be submitted to the Contract Specialist no later than 04 March 2022 at 12:00pm at lorronica.l.richardson@usace.army.mil. All answers to question's received will be posted and made available to all interested parties via an RFQ amendment. The Contracting Officer will not address any questions received following expiration of the aforementioned time in this paragraph. When the term “hour” is used to describe the time period for questions, then it means sequential hours without interruption (24 hours = 1 calendar day), unless otherwise specified.

B. Notifications to the Government from contractors regarding limited- or non-available items, or potential errors in the Government’s specifications are welcomed.

C. A contractor’s request to change the Government’s requirement before quotes are due may not be addressed because it does not clarify the requirement for all potential quoters, and if accepted would change the requirement.

13. DOWN-SELECT PROCESS

A. It is the Government’s intent to select a target of three (3) quotes for a complete technical evaluation to determine whether the quoted products comply with the FID.

The Contracting Officer has discretion to include more or less than three (3) quotes in the down-select. The down-select will be based on price, receipt of completed Attachment # 7 - Technical Documents Checklist and the contractor’s confirmation of their ability to meet the Government’s Furniture Installation Start and Completion Dates.

B. At any time following the down-select, the Government may, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, engage in exchanges with one or more of the contractors whose quotes were down-selected, or consider additional quotes for evaluation.

14. EVALUATION CRITERIA

A. Technical Evaluation – Technical will be rated “Acceptable” if all line items meet the specifications shown in the Attachment #2 Furniture Item Description (FID).

B. Schedule – Schedule will be rated “Acceptable” if the contractor install dates are within the dates shown below.

Bavaria Buildings 402, 625, 680, 681, 682 Install Start not earlier than: 30 August 2022 Install Completion not later than: 13 September 2022

C. Past Performance – Past Performance will be rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.”

The Government will use any available information to evaluate past performance.

D. Price – Evaluated price will be the contractor’s total quoted price, which includes all supplies, services, shipping, storage and optional items.

E. The Government may, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, engage in exchanges with contractors. However, the Government reserves the right to make award without further exchanges.

15. SELECTION OF QUOTES FOR AWARD

The successful Contractor will be the one whose quote is rated acceptable on technical, schedule and past performance, and provides the best value to the Government. Best value will be determined by the quote that is technically acceptable and has the lowest total evaluated price.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
