OS FC-SERIES V1.6, Product ID #: 63-000056, Quantity: 2 Each; Delivery and installation time shall be no later than March 15, 2007. Acceptance will be at the destination. FOB point is destination. In order to enhance the efficiency of the procurement process, the Government intends to evaluate only the lowest priced quote to determine if the quote is technically acceptable. If the lowest priced quote is reasonably priced and technically acceptable, the Government intends to make an award to that vendor and no other quote will be evaluated. If the lowest priced offer is not technically acceptable, then the Government will evaluate the second lowest priced quote for technical acceptability. This meth od will continue until the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote determined. In order to be considered the lowest priced technically acceptable offer, quoters must provide pricing for all items and be able to deliver by the time frame specified. The items being quoted shall be DECRU? products and the part numbers specified. The justification for brand name is as follows: This brand/device is intended as a backup to an existing DECRU? encryption-at-rest device on our virtual server stack. The existing DECRU? Datafort is not compatible with any other encryption-at-rest device. Therefore the requested DECRU? Datafort is the only device capable of fulfilling the requirement of an in-system, online backup. Once the Contracting Officer has decided to whom an order will be issued, a unilateral order will be issued using a SF 1449. A purchase order will be in existence once the Contracting Officer has signed the order. Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offe rors-Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. An addendum to this provision is applicable, in which paragraphs (g) and (h) of FAR 52.212-1 are deleted. Wherever the words offer, proposal, offerors, or similar terms are used in this solicitation or any provision, they shall be read to mean quote, quotation, quoter, vendor or similar corresponding term to reflect that this solicitation is a Request for Quotations, not a Request for Proposals or an Invitation for Bids.

Current access information may be obtained by calling 1-877-RAPIDGATE (1-877-727-4342). (a) Unless the contractor voluntarily participates in the Fast Access Gate Program (see the clause entitled Identification Of Contractor's Employees Fast Access Gate Program), commercial vehicle access to Fort Lewis will be allowed only at the Logistics Center Gate (Exit 123 from I-5) and the D Street Gate when those gates are operational. The Logistics Center Gate is open for commercial vehicle traffic from 0530-2130 hours Monday Friday. The gate is closed all weekends and federal holidays The D Stre et Gate is open for commercial vehicle traffic from 0530-1330 Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. These gates are open for inbound commercial vehicle access and inspection. In the event both the Logistics Center Gate and the D Street Gate are closed, commercial vehicles must use the Madigan Gate (Exit 122 from I-5). Madigan Gate is open 24 hours per day everyday. All commercial vehicles will be searched. The Contractor should anticipate delays in getting commercial vehicles on post. The Contractor must also allow additional time for commercial vehicles to reach their destination by driving through Fort Lewis. If the commercial vehicle is carrying a load of cement concrete or hot asphalt concrete for delivery, the driver shall notify the gate guard as soon as possible and request that the vehicle be given priority for being searched; however, the Government does not guarantee that the vehicle will be given priority. On weekends large vehicles (needing greater than 12'-5 in clearance) will require a time stamped searched label to gain access to North Fort Lewis. Searched labels will be issued at the Main Gate, as appropriate. Drivers needing access to North Fort Lewis must inform the gate guard that their vehicle is over 12'-5 in height and that they will require access to North Fort Lewis. The driver will receive a briefing on proper procedures and a searched label. The Contractor shall ensure that its drivers, incl uding drivers of subcontractors at any tier, comply with the procedures as explained to them for access to North Fort Lewis. (b) If the contractor participates in the Fast Access Gate Program, contractor vehicles may enter the installation through any fast access gate lane without being routinely subjected to a vehicle inspection, except at Force Protection Level Charlie or Delt a. During Force Protection Level Charlie or Delta, all contractor vehicles must enter through the Logistics Center gate or the D Street Gate. If both of those gates are closed then the commercial vehicles will use the Madigan Gate. All passengers in the contractor vehicle must have a fast access identification card; otherwise, the contractor vehicl e must enter through the Logistics Center Gate, D Street Gate, or the Madigan Gate, as appropriate per the hours in (a) above and obtain visitor passes. Fast Access gate lanes are available at the Main (Liberty) Gate, the 41st Street Gate (North Fort Lewis), the East Gate, the DuPont Gate, the D Street Gate, the Logistics Center Gate, and the Madigan Army Medical Center Gate. Fast Access lanes are planned for the Rainier Gate, the Transmission Line Gate, and the Scouts Out Gate. The contractor shall use only those lanes specifically marked as fast access lanes. (c) If the Fast Access Gate Program is terminated for any reason, the contractor will be allowed access only through the Logistics Center Gate or the D St. Gate or, when they are closed, the Madigan Gate unless the contractor is otherwise notified by the C ontracting Officer. Local clause 52.111-4132 states: a. Each employee who requires access to Fort Lewis to perform work under any contract, at any tier, must obtain either a fast access identification badge or a visitors pass to obtain access to Fort Lewis. A fast access identification badge will only be issued to an employee, at any tier, if the employee requires access to Fort Lewis more than twice per week. Contractor employees, at any tier, who require access to Fort Lewis twice per week or less often or who do not pa rticipate in the Fast Access Gate Program shall obtain a visitors pass at the Main (Liberty) Gate or the Logistics Center Gate (or the DuPont Gate when the Logistics Center Gate is closed). The visitors pass will be issued for a maximum of 30 days at a time. A fast access identification badge will only be issued to contractor employees if the contractor participates in the Fast Access Gate Program. The Fast Access Gate Program is a voluntary program. b. The contractor shall provide information as required by the Fast Access Gate Program contractor (FAGPC), to enable the FAGPC to conduct a criminal history background check (CHBC) on contractor employees who are to have access to Fort Lewis. The contra ctor is responsible for paying the FAGPC any set-up fee and the fee per employee for conducting the CHBC and issuing the fast access identification card. If the CHBC is not adverse, a fast access identification badge will be issued by the FAGPC to the con tractor employee. If the CHBC is adverse, the FAGPC is prohibited from issuing a fast access identification badge to the contractor employee. If a fast access identification badge is denied for any reason, the contractor employee may only enter the insta llation by obtaining a visitors pass; however, if the contractor employee does not meet the criteria for being issued a fast access identification badge, the Government may, in its sole discretion, decide not to issue a visitors pass to the contractor em ployee. c. If an employee no longer needs an identification badge for any reason (e.g., quits his/her job or no longer performs work under the contract), the contractor shall return the identification badge to the FAGPC within two (2) calendar days of such change . If the identification badge cannot be returned within the required time frame for any reason, the contractor shall immediately notify both the FAGPC and the Contracting Officer verbally, followed up in writing the next work day. An employees inability to obtain entrance to a Government installation because he/she does not have the required identification badge or visitors pass shall not excuse timely performance of the requirements of this contract. The FAGPC or the Government may change the location at which identification badges are issued or returned, with or without advance notice to the contractor. Any such changes shall not be a basis for adjusting the contract price under any clause of this contract. d. Fast access identification badges shall not be reproduced or copied by the contractor, its subcontractors, or their emplo yees. If an employees identification badge is lost, stolen, or reproduced, the contractor shall verbally report the loss, theft, or reproduction to both the FAGPC and the Contracting Officer on the day such loss, theft, or reproduction is discovered, fol lowed by a written report of the circumstances to both the FAGPC and the Contracting Officer within one (1) calendar day after the loss, theft, or reproduction is discovered. e.

The final invoice will not be considered proper for purposes of the Prompt Payment Act (FAR 52.232-25 or FAR 52.212-4 (i)) until all identification badges have been accounted for. g. If the Fast Access Gate Program is terminated for any reason, the contractor will be notified by the Contracting Officer as to whether the fast access identification cards will remain valid (and, if so, for how long) and which gate(s) may be used for a ccess to the installation.
