Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

SOLICITATION INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION:

A. This is a solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a) and in reference to Notice ID W912LQ-24-Q-0028. This document constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2024-05, dated May 22, 2024.

B. The Government will not pay for costs associated with the preparation of a quote in response to this solicitation.

C. Interested vendors agree to hold the prices in their quote firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for the closing of this RFQ.

D. 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. 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.

E. NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency’s Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures. To be timely, the protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. To file a protest under the NG Agency Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:

National Guard Bureau Office of the Director of Acquisitions/ Head of Contracting Activity

111 S. George Mason Dr.

Email: ng.ncr.ngb-arng.mbx.ngb-task-order-ombudsman@mail.mil
