Software suite (hospedia licenses) annual license fee

Added: Mar 01, 2018 4:09 pm This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice in conjunction with procedures in FAR Part 13. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation.

This proposed contract action is for Hospedia software suite and licenses for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit price quotations. This combined synopsis/solicitation notice is not a request for competitive price quotations.

The solicitation number, 36C26118Q0338 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-96, dated November 6, 2017 and Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation Supplement (VAAR) current to January 7, 2010. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a price quotation. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 334614, size standard 1250.



The evaluation of offers received in response to the solicitation will use a tiered or cascading order of precedence. Tiered evaluation of offers, also known as cascading evaluation of offers, is a procedure used in negotiated acquisitions when market research is inconclusive for justifying limiting competition to small business concerns or sub-categories of small business concerns. The contracting officer

(1) Solicits offers from both small and other than small business concerns that will be evaluated in the following tier order:

(a) service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB);

(b) veteran-owned small business (VOSB);

(c) all other small business concerns;

(d) other than small business.

(2) If an award or a sufficient number of awards cannot be made at the first tier, evaluation of offers will proceed at the next lower tier until an award or a sufficient number of awards can be made.

In order for a company to be considered a SDVOSB or VOSB the company must be listed in https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/. Unverified SDVOSBs or VOSBs are considered non-responsive and price quotations will not be evaluated. The award will be set aside for veteran-owned small businesses if the contracting officer received two or more offers/quotes from verified SDVOSBs or VOSBs at fair and reasonable prices that offer best value to the Government. Offerors shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award. Registration information is located at www.sam.gov. Award will be made to the responsive/responsible offeror who provides the technically acceptable product at the lowest price.

Please provide FOB destination price to VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System. If the above items are under GSA, FSS, NAC, BPA or any government contract, please provide the contract number, terms and conditions; SIN the products fall under (if any), delivery schedule and contract expiration date.

Authorized dealers: Only firms who are authorized dealers will be considered in addition to the original equipment manufacturer. A letter from the manufacturer stating your company is an authorized dealer for the line items must be in possession by the due date and be available for submission, if requested.

Please provide price quotation using the attached RFQ. All price quotes received prior to March 9, 2018 will be considered by the Government. Only emailed price quotations received directly from interested persons are acceptable.
