- Submit all quotes/bids electronically to mwright@fs.fed.us. Telephone inquiries WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a separate written request for quotation will not be issued. The solicitation number is AG-82FT-S-07-0020 and the solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 531110. The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price Contract for lease/rental of a modular, please send e-mail request for complete package. The contractor will deliver all necessary materials, transport and assemble the buildings, and remove the structure at the end of the lease/rental term. The structures remain the property of the contractor. Awards may not necessarily be made to the quoter submitting the lowest quote. Also, award may not necessarily be made for technical capabilities that appear to exceed those needed for successful performance of the work. Quotes should be submitted based on the most favorable terms quoter can make to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all quotes or to make award without conducting discussions. For the purpose of this Request for Quotation, discussion shall not be considered to have been initiated where the Government requests additional information supplementing or clarifying a quote without materially changing it. Past performance evaluation will include customer satisfaction, quality of services and timeliness. Quoter must demonstrate performance of similar type, scope, and magnitude to that detailed in this RFQ in the past three years. Documentation shall include contract numbers, current point of contact, telephone number, e-mail address if available, fax number, description and value of the work. Quoter is responsible to make their best attempt to assure that past performance information is current so verification can occur. Information containing contact names no longer at the location provided, disconnected or changed phone numbers, or any other inaccurate information that hinders verifying past performance information runs the risk of the information not being considered. Technical quality of product offered, past performance including maintenance issues, ability to delivery in a timely manner, are more important than price, however, in the evaluation of offers, when ratings are close, then pricing will become more important to the selection decision. This contract will include a base year and possibility of four one-year options. There will be no future synopsis in the event the options included in the contract are exercised. No new work can be issued after one year following award of initial contract unless an option year is exercised.
