Continuation of Description

Section A Narrative:

1. The Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (ACC-RI), hereby issues Solicitation W519TC- 26-Q-A136 LGC 25-3-14 Weld Ventilation B2 in support of the Rock Island Arsenal - Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center (RIA-JMTC). The award will be issued in accordance with RFO FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services). The Government intends to award one (1) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order to the lowest price, responsive, and responsible contractor whose quote conforms to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and represents the lowest total evaluated price. Contractors are responsible for providing their best price at the time of the quote submission. Contractor's responsibility will be determined as outlined in FAR 9.104-1. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and issue an award without discussion with Offerors.

2. Quotes shall be valid for a period of 60 calendar days from the required submission date.

Attachments:

Attachment 0001: Purchase Description

Attachment 0002: Evaluation Criteria

3. Quotes MUST include all costs, including delivery of supplies to Rock Island Arsenal, IL 61299.

4. Invoicing is to be done via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), with payment being made by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS).

5. SITE INFORMATION:

A. A site visit is scheduled at 9:00 AM CST, Wednesday, June 24, 2026. All interested contactors must adhere to the Installation Access Requirements for Rock Island Arsenal. In addition, contractors attending the scheduled site visit for W519TC-26-Q-A136 shall provide their company name, phone number/email address, and name of the person attending the site visit to angel.j.

traman.civ@army.mil no later than 9:00 AM CST, June 22, 2026, Location for the scheduled site visit is: RIA_JMTC, Rock Island, IL 61299. A meeting location will be provided upon completion of pre-registration.

B. All visitors to RIA-JMTC must obtain an installation visitor badge prior to entering the installation. In efforts to expedite this process, all visitors must pre-register two (2) business days prior to their visit with the Contract Specialist and Visitors Center. It is recommended that you arrive at the Visitors Center at least 30 minutes prior to the site visit time. Both U.S. Citizens and Foreign Visitors will need to present your valid Government Issued ID when entering Rock Island Arsenal check points.

C. Acceptable forms of ID for U.S. Citizens are: State issued picture ID, or federally issued picture ID. Acceptable forms of ID for Foreign Visitors are: Passport, Visa Number, or Alien Registration.

D. Visitors must enter from the Moline, IL gate entrance to the Arsenal.

E. While the site visit is not mandatory, it should be noted that an offer may have extreme difficulty in formulating an accurate bid on this project without first examining the existing equipment and determining the existence of other potential obstacles.

F. During the site visit, contractors are urged not to contact any other Government points of contact regarding any general information other than the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer of this requirement. The Government will not be responsible for any information the Contractor obtains on their own. It is requested that all information/questions be coordinated with the Contract Specialist in writing. See clause Site Visit (April 1984) FAR 52.237-1.

G. Contractors are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtained, and inspected the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

H. Each visitor will be required to wear steel toed safety shoes and safety glasses for the tour. If safety glasses are needed, a pair of safety glasses will be available. It is requested that visitors notify the Contract Specialist at the time of pre-registration that safety glasses are needed to ensure the request is accommodated.

6. The one-year warranty period will begin once the equipment has been delivered to Rock Island Arsenal and the invoice has been accepted in WAWF.

7. On time delivery is very critical. Therefore, the contractor must adhere to the delivery requirements indicated in the subsequent award. Failure to comply with the contractual delivery schedule in the subsequent award may result in termination of the order or require consideration if the Government elects to extend the delivery. The Government is not required to extend the delivery schedule if you encounter delays. The nonavailability of raw materials, subcontractor issues, scheduling conflicts, etc. are not acceptable excuse for failing to meet the delivery schedule. If there is going to be a delay in delivery, the contractor is required to notify the Contract Specialist and/or Contracting Officer designated in this contract prior to being late. Contractors must provide written notice of what the delay is, the new proposed delivery schedule, and offered consideration for the delay for Government consideration. If the Government elects to extend your delivery, a formal modification will be implemented.

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure they are providing quality products that conform to the contract terms and conditions (to include delivery schedule). Delivery of nonconforming products results in delivery/acceptance delays and increased cost to the Government. Early Delivery is acceptable as long as the warrant for each item starts on the date delivery has been requested.

Earlier deliveries are authorized at no additional cost to the Government.

Contract Specialist: Angel Traman; angel.j.traman.civ@army.mil
