Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

SPECIFICATIONS

ATTACHMENT I ‐ 3D CONCRETE PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS

The 175th Civil Engineering Squadron is seeking a 3D Concrete printer to evaluate its feasibility and effectiveness in a home station and contingency environment. The intended use of the 3D Concrete Printer is for constructing small facilities and force protection structures. The structures consist of hardened bunkers, T-Walls, Jersey barriers, anti-vehicle obstacles, and aircraft revetments.

3D Concrete Printer: One (1) 3D Concrete Printer

Salient Characteristics: Equipment shall include concrete pumps, piping, valves, input material control equipment, pump nozzles, drive motors, printer leveling mechanisms, etc. necessary for full operation of the 3D concrete printer.

3D concrete printer shall be mountable on wheels/tracks or on a trailer to provide mobility on job site.

Solutions that use standard shipping containers/CONEX/International Organization for shipping (ISO) shipping containers are acceptable.

3D Concrete Printer shall be capable of printing in outdoor environments across a broad range of temperatures above freezing, humidity, and sunlight exposure. The proposed system does not need to be operable in rainy or below‐freezing conditions.

Input materials shall be commonly available concrete base material components (Portland cement, water, sand (or other aggregate), plasticizer, fly ash, etc.). No proprietary materials shall be included.

The 3D Concrete printer shall be capable of being operated by a dedicated MEP‐806 generator. The maximum output of the MEP‐806 is 60KW, and power can be provided at 120V/208V @ 60Hz or 240V/415V @ 50Hz.

Mix Design: Vendor shall provide mix design recommendation to accompany the equipment. Mix designs shall include variations to account for variable outdoor temperature, humidity, sun exposure, etc.

Assembly: Assembly of the printer system shall be capable of being performed by a crew of 5 or less technicians in less than 4 hours and shall not require the use of a crane. Permanently installed printer systems or systems that require the installation of concrete footers before assembly will not be considered.

Software: Vendor shall provide software and hardware for operating the printer. The software shall be compatible with Windows 10 and be capable of accepting stereolithography (.STL) file types. If a vendor‐provided “Slicer” program is not provided, then the vendor must submit a recommended commercial‐available Slicer program to be used with the printer. Vendor shall provide a Compact Disc (CD) or media device to install all required software.

Minimum printable area: no smaller than 20’ x 20’ x 10’ (height). Gantry‐style systems and mobile robotic arm systems are acceptable solutions. Robotic arms based on a mobile platform must be able to move around the project site during the print process to provide a minimum print area of no less than 20’ x 20’ x 10’ (height).

Training: The vendor shall provide hands on training necessary to operate the 3D concrete printer to three Maryland Air National Guard technicians. The training shall include how to assemble, prime, calibrate, operate, disassemble, maintain, and store the printer and all associated components. The contractor shall provide written (or digital) documentation on each of these processes as well.

Evaluation Factors:

Refer to FAR 52.212-2 for how the evaluation factors will be applied. For technical, an evaluation will be performed to determine if the offer provided is technically acceptable to meet the requirements outlined in the attached technical specification (Attachment I). The offeor shall submit a technical quote in sufficient detail to permit an evaluation of the offer from a technical standpoint. The government team will evaluate whether the offerors technical quote satisfies the minimum requirements of the technical specifications and determine if the technical quote is acceptable. To receive an acceptable rating, the offeror must demonstrate the salient characteristics, assembly, and training from the technical specification document.

NGB PROTEST PROCEDURES

I. NG level protest procedures.

NG Protest Decision Authority (PDA): The Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) delegated the Ombudsman and Integration Division Chief as the designated Agency’s PDA, per AFARS

5133.103 and Appendix GG, without power of re-delegation.

Time for Filing an Agency Protest: A NG protest shall be filed in accordance with the time frames set forth in FAR 33.103(e). NG office hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Unless otherwise stated in the Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP)/Request for Quote (RFQ), the time for filing any documents expires at 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time (ET) on the last day on which such filing may be made. See FAR 33.101.

The Agency may consider the merits of an untimely protest for good cause shown, or where it determines the protest raises significant issues. See FAR 33.103(e). The protest procedures identified in FAR Part 33 set precise time limits for filing to enable the Government to decide an issue while corrective action is possible. A protester that files an untimely agency protest before filing at GAO will usually be precluded from pursuing a subsequent GAO protest action.

Election of Forum: After an interested party protests a NG procurement to the Agency, the protester agrees not to file a protest with GAO or other external forum while the agency protest is pending. If the protestor files with GAO or COFC, the agency level protest will be summarily dismissed.

Required Information: Protests must be signed by an authorized representative of the protester. NG level protests must contain the protestor’s name, address, phone number, fax, solicitation or contract number, identity of the contracting activity and the contracting officer’s name, detailed statement of all legal and factual grounds for protest, copies of all relevant documents, and request for a ruling and relief.

Where to file / Service of Protest:

1) Protests to the Contracting Officer shall be filed at:

The address in the solicitation, See FAR Clause 52.233-2 for the name/address of the Contracting Officer.

2) Protests to NG Protest Decision Authority shall be filed at: National Guard Bureau Office of the Director of Acquisitions ATTN: NGB-AQ-O 111 S. George Mason Dr.

252.213-7000 Notice to Prospective Suppliers on Use of Supplier Performance Risk System in Past Performance Evaluations.

As prescribed in 213.106-2-70, use the following provision:

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE SUPPLIERS ON USE OF SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE RISK SYSTEM IN

PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS (MAR 2018)

(a) The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPSR) application (https://www.ppirssrng.csd.disa.mil/) will be used in the evaluation of suppliers’ past performance in accordance with DFARS 213.106-2(b)(i).

(b) SPRS collects quality and delivery data on previously awarded contracts and orders from existing Department of Defense reporting systems to classify each supplier’s performance history by Federal supply class (FSC) and product or service code (PSC). The SPRS application provides the contracting officer quantifiable past performance information regarding a supplier's quality and delivery performance for the FSC and PSC of the supplies being purchased.

(c) The quality and delivery classifications identified for a supplier in SPRS will be used by the contracting officer to evaluate a supplier’s past performance in conjunction with the supplier’s references (if requested) and other provisions of this solicitation under the past performance evaluation factor. The Government reserves the right to award to the supplier whose quotation or offer represents the best value to the Government.

(d) SPRS classifications are generated monthly for each contractor and can be reviewed by following the access instructions in the SPRS User’s Manual found at https://www.ppirssrng.csd.disa.mil/pdf/PPIRS-SR_UserMan.pdf.

Contractors are granted access to SPRS for their own classifications only. Suppliers are encouraged to review their own classifications, the SPRS reporting procedures and classification methodology detailed in the SPRS User's Manual, and SPRS Evaluation Criteria available from the references at https://www.ppirssrng.csd.disa.mil/pdf/SPRS_DataEvaluationCriteria.pdf. The method to challenge a rating generated by SPRS is provided in the User’s Manual.
