Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

SOLICITATION NARRATIVE

1. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI) hereby issues Request for Quote (RFQ) W519TC25Q2085 for the procurement of Perforated Plates in support of Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center (RIA-JMTC). The RFQ is being procured IAW FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13.5 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Items).

2. This requirement is being procured as small business set aside under NAICS 332510.

3. Quotes must be received prior to the closing date and time to be considered for award. It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions (except for clarifications as described by FAR 15.306(a)).

Therefore, the Contractor’s quote should be complete and contain the contractor’s best price and meet all required delivery terms. A complete quote submission includes (but not limited to) the contractor’s price, must meet all delivery requirements specified, and all required fill-ins under this RFQ. IAW FAR clause 52.212-2, included in this RFQ, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

CLOSING DATE/TIME: CLOSING DATE AND TIME FOR THIS SOLICITATION IS 7 JANUARY 2025

BY 11:00 AM CENTRAL TIME.

Quotes shall be prepared and authorized by a person(s) regularly employed by the contractor. The quote shall state the name of each person(s) contributing to the authorship of the quote, the person(s) position/ title, phone number, and an email address for the person who should be contacted if an award is to be made. The quote should be prepared in a clear, legible, practical manner. In addition, the quote shall be written in English and should be specific and complete.

Quotes shall be valid for 90 days from the date of solicitation closing.

4. Certified Test Report (CTR) and Certificate of Conformance (COC) IAW FAR 52.246-15 are required with each delivery.

5. This requirement contains options. IAW FAR Clause 52.217-5, Evaluation of this option does not obligate the Government to exercise the option, therefore funding will not be added to the option CLIN unless the CLIN is exercised. Additionally, the Government has the right to exercise any portion of the CLIN up to the maximum quantity within 365 days of the contract execution at the quoted unit price.

Although delivery dates have been indicated on all three OPTION CLINS, this doesn’t mean the option is execised, rather, is due to a system glitch which requires delivery dates for all CLINs. Therefore delivery on OPTION CLINS 0101, 0102, and 0103 is 395 days after the date of contract award to allow for a delivery date of 30 days after the last day available to exercise an option, in the event it was exercised. This date will be changed in the event the CLIN becomes exercised and funded.

6. Pricing should be documented directly on each CLIN of your signed SF 1449 solicitation form, all clauses that require fill ins should be completed, and the authorized preparer shall sign and date prior to submission.

7. The Government intends to award one (1) firm fixed-price purchase order (without discussions, except clarifications as described by FAR 15.306(a)) to the Offeror determined to be responsible (in accordance with (IAW) the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 9.1) whose proposal conforms with to the RFQ requirements and is determined to be the lowest total evaluated (fair and reasonable) priced quote.

8. Delivery for these items is specified on each CLIN, however early and incremental delivery is authorized and encouraged with no additional cost to the Government. All quotes shall be quoted as FOB Destination land, IL, see FAR 52.247-34.

On time delivery is critical. Therefore, contractors must adhere to the delivery requirements indicated in the resulting award. Failure to comply with the contractual delivery schedule after award may result in termination of the award or require consideration if the Government elects to extend your delivery schedule. The Government is not obligated to extend your delivery if you encounter delays. The non- availability of raw materials, subcontractor issues, scheduling conflicts, etc., are not considered acceptable delays/excuses for failing to meet the contractual delivery schedule. If there is going to be a delaying delivery, the contractor is required to notify the Contracting Officer designated in the award at least 10 days prior to being late. Such notification shall include the contractor’s reasons for delay, proposed revised schedule, and the contractor’s offered consideration for the delay should the Government elect to extend.

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that they are providing quality products that conform to the award terms and conditions as well as meet the required delivery schedule. All deliveries shall be shipped to the following address:

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
