NIST intends to conduct an on-line competitive reverse auction for the pricing portion of this solicitation, to be facilitated by a third-party reverse auction provider, FedBid.com. FedBid.com has developed an on-line, anonymous, browser based application to conduct the reverse auction. Offerors may submit a series of pricing quotes, which descend in price during the specified period of time for the aforementioned reverse auction. All responsible sources MUST submit the pricing portion of their offer for this solicitation using the online exchange located at www.FedBid.com.

Offerors that are not currently registered to use FedBid.com Exchange should proceed to www.FedBid.com to complete their free registration. Offerors that require special considerations or assistance may contact the FedBid Helpdesk at 877-9FEDBID or via email at ClientServices@FedBid.com. NIST is taking this action in an effort to improve vendor access and awareness of requests while expediting its ability to gather multiple, competed, real-time quotes for products. Offerors may not artificially manipulate the price of a transaction by any means. It is unacceptable to place bad faith bids, to use decoys in the bidding process or to collude with the intent or effect of hampering the competitive bidding process.
