PART I – THE SCHEDULE

SPECIFICATIONS & GENERAL INFORMATION

(a) The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking proposals for the Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative (LCAI) Round 15. The BLM administers funds generated by the Lincoln County Land Act of 2000 (Act). The Act provides for the sale of public land in Lincoln County, NV, with the sale proceeds available, in part, for archaeological studies within Lincoln County. These proceeds are used to fund proposals to deal with aspects of the inventory, evaluation, protection, and management of unique archaeological resources in Lincoln County, NV. See Section C below for more information.

(b) The BLM intends to issue one or more firm fixed price contracts in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Federal Acquisition Regulations (RFO FAR) Part 12, and/or cooperative agreements, to the point of funding availability for LCAI Round 15. Award decision will be made on a best-value, trade-off process. This process permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. The Government may consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror when it is in the best interest of the Government. The Government will not award any contract if the resulting contract would not represent a "best value" to the Government. Each proposal should specifically describe how it addresses the evaluation criteria.

(c) The BLM will also be accepting applications for projects to be considered as Cooperative Agreements through Grants.gov. That opportunity can be found at www.grants.gov and searching for the Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) L26AS00091.

It is the responsibility of offerors to ensure their quote is received by the recipient and by the due date and time.

(e) Offerors are cautioned to submit adequate information to enable the Government to fully ascertain each offeror’s capability to perform the requirements in accordance with the requirements of the request for quote (RFQ).

(f) If a respondent believes that requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise flawed, the respondent shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing (via email) with supporting rationale by the question deadline specified on the cover page of this document.

(g) This RFQ does not commit the Government to any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a quote or for any other costs incurred by any firm submitting a quote in response to this solicitation. Note specifically that the Offeror will not be participating in a sealed bid procurement process under this acquisition method. Issuance of this RFQ does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the Government.

(h) Proposal must be valid for a minimum of one (1) year.

(i) Respondents must complete the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ (previously ORCA and CCR). The Government will obtain respondent representations and certifications through this system.

(j) Including all other factors, to qualify for award, a respondent must be determined responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 9.

http://www.grants.gov/ https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/
