SECTION 2

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

BACKGROUND

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is an instrumental leader in the development of policies and programs to combat international narcotics and crime.

INL programs support two of the Department of States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet the listed goals is to collaborate with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies.

SCOPE

The vendor shall provide ALL items stated under APPENDIX A, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF ITEMS of this RFQ. Packaging and preservation shall be IAW best commercial practices to enable shipment to final destination in Guatemala to the address specified (e.g. see below), without repacking or incurring damage during shipment and handling.

TYPE OF CONTRACT

This is a firm-fixed price, single award contract, with the optional quantities. Items outlined under APPENDIX A, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF ITEMS below shall be brand name or equal of the purchase request under NAICS 334511. No additional sums will be payable on account of any escalation in the cost of materials, equipment or labor, or because of the Contractor’s failure to properly estimate or accurately predict these prices or difficulty of achieving the results required by this contract. Nor will the contract price be adjusted on account of fluctuations in the currency exchange rates.

BASIS OF AWARD

The Government anticipates issuing a Purchase Order to the Vendor whose Quote provides the best value to the Government, price, and other factors considered.

This request for quotations uses procedures under FAR Part 13.5, Test Program for certain commercial items. 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. Basis for award will be to the vendor providing the lowest price technically acceptable quote determined to meet the minimum requirements.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

In order for a vendor’s quote to be considered technically acceptable it must meet the following Technical Acceptability (Pass/Fail)

- Meeting the minimal technical requirements of the requested system, in terms of salient characteristics

- Comprehensive training plan;

- Validity and terms of the warranty

- Ability of the vendor to support equipment in Guatemala

Offerors shall include specific details and delivery dates in their responses to this RFQ. All pricing shall reflect USD.

(b) Scope. The restrictions described herein shall apply to performance or participation by the Contractor and any of its affiliates or their successors in interest (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Contractor") in the activities covered by this clause as a prime contractor, subcontractor, co-sponsor, joint venturer, consultant, or in any similar capacity.

K-005 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION AND

DISCLOSURE 11/01/2008

(a) The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it is / is not aware of any information bearing on the existence of any potential organizational conflict of interest, as defined in FAR 9.501, which relates to the work to be performed pursuant to this solicitation. As used herein, "offeror" means the proposer or any of its affiliates or proposed consultants or subcontractors of any tier.

(b) If the offeror is aware of any such information, the offeror shall provide a disclosure statement as part of its proposal which describes in a concise manner all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) relating to the work to be performed hereunder and bearing on whether the offeror may have a potential organizational conflict of interest with respect to (1) being able to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or (2) being given an unfair competitive advantage. The offeror may also provide relevant facts that show how its organizational structure and/or management systems limit its knowledge of possible organizational conflicts of interest relating to other divisions or sections of the organization and how that structure or system would avoid or mitigate such organizational conflict.

(c) The Government will review the statement submitted and may require additional relevant information from the offeror. All such information, and any other relevant information known to the Government, will be used to determine whether an award to the offeror may create an organizational conflict of interest. If an organizational conflict of interest is found to exist, the Government may

(1) impose appropriate conditions which avoid such conflict,

(2) disqualify the offeror, or

(3) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to contract with the offeror by including appropriate conditions mitigating such conflict in the resultant contract.

(e) If the Contracting Officer determines that a potential conflict exists, the prospective Contractor shall not receive an award unless the conflict can be avoided or otherwise resolved through the inclusion of a special contract clause or other appropriate means. The terms of any special clause are subject to negotiation.
