The Pittsburgh 911th Airlift Wing located in Coraopolis. PA 15108, is seeking quotes from small business vendors for the following:

Section B - Schedule of Services: 

CLIN 0001: CAT 6 Premise Cable installation IAW Attachment #2 Juniper Project Statement of Work (SOW) for Bldg 419.

This requirement is for a firm-fixed price services purchase order awarded using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR parts 12 and 13.

Period of Performance: 120 days from date of award. Proposal must clearly state that period of performance is 120 days from date of award.

The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OFFERORS: Use Attachment #2 – Bldg 419 Statement of Work and Attachment #3 – Bldg 419 Layout for Proposed Juniper Locations. Use Attachment #4 Offer Pricing Template to submit quotes. 

BASIS FOR AWARD: In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2) offerors are notified that the award will be made to the lowest priced offeror that meets the minimum technical requirements. Offeror will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)

In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(b)(4), offerors are reminded that as a minimum, offers must show a technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary, to demonstrate your capabilities in fulfilling the SOW’s.

The Government will award a single Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to the technically acceptable Offeror who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.104 and whose quote conforms to all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications required by this RFQ. Unless identified otherwise, by submission of a quote, the Offeror has agreed to all requirements included herein. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a quote being determined ineligible for award.

It is the Government’s intent to evaluate quotes and award a purchase order without interchanges with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quote should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

Evaluation Process. Offers will be ranked from lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA). A price analysis may be conducted to determine if the lowest price technically acceptable offer is fair and reasonable. A single award will then be made to the Offeror who has been determined responsible and has submitted the lowest, technically acceptable pricing.

Technical Evaluation. The lowest priced quote received will be evaluated for technical acceptance. If the lowest quote is accepted by the government, no further quotes will be evaluated. If the lowest quote received is not technically accepted by the government, the next lowest priced quote received will be technically evaluated and so on until the lowest price received and accepted by the government is confirmed.  An award notice will be posted to sam.gov.

To confirm the capability, and therefore, acceptability, of the Offeror to meet the Government’s requirements as outlined in Attachments #1 thru #4, the Offeror shall submit with their quote, a clear, and concise Technical Capability Narrative that includes sufficient detail to substantiate the validity of the Offeror’s stated claim(s) that they are able to meet the requirement. The narrative shall not simply rephrase, reiterate, or restate the Government's own language, but rather shall provide convincing rationale describing how the Offeror intends to fulfill the requirement. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. The narrative should include as specifically as possible, the actual methodology that will be used for accomplishing and satisfying the SOW’s stated requirement(s). The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities, and experience, thus the technical evaluation will be solely based on the information presented in the Offeror's Technical Capability Narrative. The Offeror’s Technical Capability Narrative must, at a minimum, address how the Offeror intends to meet the  requirements of the SOW’s.

Ratings: Upon evaluation of the Technical Capability Narrative, the following rating will be assigned:

Acceptable: The Offeror has provided sufficient information within their Technical Capability Narrative for the Government to evaluate and confirm their capability to meet all the requirements. (see Attachments #1 - #4).

Unacceptable: The Offeror has not provided sufficient information within their Technical Capability Narrative; therefore, the Government cannot confirm their capability to meet the requirements of the SOW.

Exchanges:

Exchanges can be informal or formal. The Contracting Officer may use e-mail, phone call, etc., asking for clarifications, revisions, or other documentation. The Government may conduct with one, some, none, or all Offerors at its discretion. Only quotes rated technically acceptable, either initially or because of interchanges, will be eligible for award.

Technical Evaluation Ratings

Rating; Description

- Acceptable; Submission clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

- Unacceptable; Submission does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

If the technical submittal is determined "Unacceptable", it renders the entire quote technically unacceptable. Technical submissions that do not meet the minimum requirements will be rated as "Unacceptable" and will no longer be considered for further competition or award.
