PROJECT DESCRIPTION: WH&B Delta Facility Hay

GENERAL

(a) The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking quotations for supplies listed in the SOW and as attached in the accompanying documentation (see attachments). The BLM intends to conduct this acquisition by use of simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. A single contract award will be made to the responsible quoter whose quotation represents the best value in accordance with the evaluation methodology outlined in the “basis for contract award.”

(b) To assure timely and equitable evaluation of quotations, respondents are cautioned to strictly comply with all instructions within this solicitation to ensure submission of a complete quote. Respondents are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and any stated technical requirements. Failure to adhere to solicitation requirements, at the time of submission, may result in a respondent’s quote being deemed unacceptable to the Government and the respondent may be eliminated from award consideration. It is the responsibility of respondents to ensure their quote is received by the Government at the designated due date and time.

(c) Quoters are cautioned to submit adequate information to enable the Government to fully ascertain each respondent’s capability to perform the requirements in accordance with the requirements of the request for quotation (RFQ).

(d) 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 via email with supporting rationale prior to the question deadline specified on the cover page of this document.

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

(f) Quotations must be valid for a minimum of 60 days.

(g) Respondents must complete and maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov prior to close of solicitation. The Government will obtain representations and certifications through this system.

System Considerations Be aware that system updates may lag behind policy changes:

• SAM Representations: Entities are still required to complete certain representations in SAM that are not included in agency solicitations, including 52.223-22 and paragraph (t) of 52.212-3.

• Impact on Agencies: Agencies will not consider these representations in award decisions, and entities are not required to update their registrations to remove them.

(h) All questions should be emailed directly to the contracting office primary POC by the deadline listed on the first page of this document. Only written questions will be considered and responded to by the Government. Responses to questions will be posted as an amendment to the solicitation. Respondents shall not contact any Government personnel related to this requirement other than contracting office personnel.

QUOTATION SUBMITTAL

Quotes must be in accordance with and in the order detailed in this section. Quotes must be submitted via email to the contract specialist and contracting officer by the due date and time specified on the cover page of this document.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

Respondents shall submit the following information in response to this RFQ:

1) Short Cover Letter:

a. Company name, address, DUNS, SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, and phone number

b. Point of contact for individuals within the company (phone number and email address)

c. A statement that the quote is valid for 60 days.

https://sam.gov/content/home

2) Sign Standard Form (SF) 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items. Please complete blocks 17a, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30a, 30b, and 30c. An official having the authority to contractually bind the quoter’s company must sign the SF 1449 in accordance with the procedures prescribed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 4.102.

3) Acknowledgement of Amendments: Acknowledge all solicitation amendments (if issued by the Government) by signing and returning all individual SF30s with your quote.

4) Provide Commercial Quote Schedule

5) Technical Package – see evaluation factors below. Quoters must ensure that no pricing information is displayed in the technical volume.

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price supplies contract to a registered/certified small business concern, using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Government contemplates a single award contract resulting from this solicitation. Quotes will be evaluated using an LPTA approach. Award will be made to the responsible quoter whose quote conforms with all solicitation requirements to include terms and conditions, representations & certifications, technical requirements, and also provides the lowest total price.

Quotes will be evaluated using the criteria listed in this section. Noncompliance with the Request for Quote (RFQ) requirements may be grounds to eliminate the quote from consideration for contract award. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A quote that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

After solicitation closing, the Contracting Officer will conduct quote compliance review for determination of basic quote adequacy prior to providing commencing evaluation. Failure to provide a complete quote identified in the solicitation may result in the quote being removed from further consideration for award.

THE INTERIOR (APR 1984)

(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this provision and the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

(1) "Trade Secret" means an unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plan, appliance, formula, or process, which is used for making, preparing, compounding, treating or processing articles or materials which are trade commodities.

(2) "Confidential commercial or financial information" means any business information (other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in proposals include exemption (4), which covers "commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential," and exemption (9), which covers "geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells."

(b) If the offeror, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the proposal contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the proposal shall be marked with the following legend:

"The information specifically identified on pages of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."

(c) The offeror shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the proposal on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

"This page contains trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and which is subject to the legend contained on the cover page of this proposal."

(d) Information in a proposal identified by an offeror as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information shall be used by the Government only for the purpose of evaluating the proposal, except that (i) if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information as provided in the contract, and (ii) if the same information is obtained from another source without restriction it may be used without restriction.

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a proposal identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the offeror's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The offeror will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do

so. If it is determined that information claimed by the offeror to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the offeror will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

(f) The Government assumes no liability for the disclosure or use of information contained in a proposal if not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision. If a request under the Freedom of Information Act is made for information in a proposal not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision, the offeror concerned shall be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide its position to the Government. However, failure of an offeror to mark information contained in a proposal as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the offeror had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the offeror's proposal due to clerical error.
