If you have questions concerning your registration you may contact Jo-Lynn via telephone at 301-975-6337. On the day of the conference, each participant must present valid photo identification to enter the NIST campus. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 335999 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This is a small business set-aside. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, does not apply to this acquisition because the equipment is to be located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair or occasional monitoring of equipment. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement uninterruptible power supplies (UPS’). Information regarding the attic and lab room spaces is provided for informational purposes. The quoter must provide a quotation for a UPS for each of the attic/lab room spaces. The UPS’ will be located in the attic spaces and furnish power to the lab rooms. Delivery shall be FOB Destination – inside delivery and installation. The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. BACKGROUND - The Information Access Division’s (IAD) Biometrics Research Lab was created to support NIST biometrics research, standards and evaluations. IAD is upgrading the Uninterruptable Power Supply capability in three biometrics research labs, several cybersecurity, and one internet infrastructure lab. This effort is to replace aging smaller UPS to support the hardware in the labs and allow for easier support and administration of the lab power requirements and future computing hardware additions. This will allow NIST to remain a leader in biometrics research, cybersecurity research and internet infrastructure research as well as meet our mandates in these areas. UPS’ consume energy to operate and some unused energy is dissipated as heat as it passes through the UPS. The more heat and dissipated energy, the higher the cost of operation. These new high efficient UPS’ will reduce the electricity cost to run the labs. In addition to the cost savings, this enhanced efficiency will extend battery runtimes and produce cooler UPS operating temperatures which will extend component life and increase reliability. We will also expect to see a cost savings due to battery management and inherent redundancy built into the UPS’. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS - The Contractor shall provide six (6) UPS’ to the NIST, Gaithersburg, MD campus, buildings 222, 223, and 225. Each building has a loading dock. The Contractor shall transport each of the UPS’ from the loading dock(s) through the building(s) to the attic space(s), install, and start-up the UPS’. The Contractor’s delivery truck must be equipped with a lift gate. The size of the truck must not exceed 26 feet. The Contractor shall use the freight elevator and his own pallet jack to transport the UPS to the attic space. The NIST will require a delayed delivery for these items. The NIST may be able to accommodate a staggered or rolling delivery and installation schedule of the UPS’ to the NIST buildings. The NIST space may not be utilized for storage; the Contractor must delay delivery, and furnish the items in new condition. The Contractor shall furnish, deliver, install, start-up, and demonstrate system functionality of the UPS’. Delivery through demonstration will require coordination with the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR), as there are restricted hours for site access at the NIST. Attic and Lab Room descriptions, including electrical information, are provided for informational purposes, and are determined to be accurate at the time of this publication. The Contractor will be notified of any changes if they become necessary during the electrical installation. Referenced room drawings, entitled, “Sketches SKE-1 thru 16” are attached for each of the following spaces for informational purposes. The Contractor shall quote an appropriate UPS for each of the six attic/lab room spaces, and shall include the delivery through start-up, warranty and maintenance for each. The freight elevator in each of the buildings is the same: The maximum weight limit (as displayed in each elevator) is 6,000 pounds. The opening is 5 feet wide and 7 feet 6 inches high. Inside dimensions are: 7 feet 2 inches wide; 5 feet 5 inches from door to rear of the elevator; and 8 feet 1 inch from inside floor to ceiling. 3.

Full text of 52.204-11 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (MAR 2009) (a)Definitions. As used in this clause— “Contract”, as defined in FAR 2.101, means a mutually binding legal relationship obligating the seller to furnish the supplies or services (including construction) and the buyer to pay for them. It includes all types of commitments that obligate the Government to an expenditure of appropriated funds and that, except as otherwise authorized, are in writing. In addition to bilateral instruments, contracts include (but are not limited to) awards and notices of awards; job orders or task letters issued under basic ordering agreements; letter contracts; orders, such as purchase orders, under which the contract becomes effective by written acceptance or performance; and bilateral contract modifications. Contracts do not include grants and cooperative agreements covered by 31 U.S.C. 6301, et seq. For discussion of various types of contracts, see FAR Part 16. “First-tier subcontract” means a subcontract awarded directly by a Federal Government prime contractor whose contract is funded by the Recovery Act. “Jobs created” means an estimate of those new positions created and filled, or previously existing unfilled positions that are filled, as a result of funding by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). This definition covers only prime contractor positions established in the United States and outlying areas (see definition in FAR 2.101). The number shall be expressed as “full-time equivalent” (FTE), calculated cumulatively as all hours worked divided by the total number of hours in a full-time schedule, as defined by the contractor. For instance, two full-time employees and one part-time employee working half days would be reported as 2.5 FTE in each calendar quarter. “Jobs retained” means an estimate of those previously existing filled positions that are retained as a result of funding by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). This definition covers only prime contractor positions established in the United States and outlying areas (see definition in FAR 2.101). The number shall be expressed as “full-time equivalent” (FTE), calculated cumulatively as all hours worked divided by the total number of hours in a full-time schedule, as defined by the contractor. For instance, two full-time employees and one part-time employee working half days would be reported as 2.5 FTE in each calendar quarter. “Total compensation” means the cash and noncash dollar value earned by the executive during the contractor’s past fiscal year of the following (for more information see 17 CFR 229.402(c)(2)): (1) Salary and bonus. (2) Awards of stock, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Use the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (FAS 123R), Shared Based Payments. (3) Earnings for services under non-equity incentive plans. Does not include group life, health, hospitalization or medical reimbursement plans that do not discriminate in favor of executives, and are available generally to all salaried employees. (4) Change in pension value. This is the change in present value of defined benefit and actuarial pension plans. (5) Above-market earnings on deferred compensation which is not tax-qualified. (6) Other compensation. For example, severance, termination payments, value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, perquisites or property if the value for the executive exceeds $10,000. (b) This contract requires the contractor to provide products and/or services that are funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). Section 1512(c) of the Recovery Act requires each contractor to report on its use of Recovery Act funds under this contract. These reports will be made available to the public. (c) Reports from contractors for all work funded, in whole or in part, by the Recovery Act, and for which an invoice is submitted prior to June 30, 2009, are due no later than July 10, 2009. Thereafter, reports shall be submitted no later than the 10th day after the end of each calendar quarter. (d) The Contractor shall report the following information, using the online reporting tool available at www.FederalReporting.gov. (1) The Government contract and order number, as applicable. (2) The amount of Recovery Act funds invoiced by the contractor for the reporting period. A cumulative amount from all the reports submitted for this action will be maintained by the government’s on-line reporting tool. (3) A list of all significant services performed or supplies delivered, including construction, for which the contractor invoiced in this calendar quarter. (4) Program or project title, if any. (5) A description of the overall purpose and expected outcomes or results of the contract, including significant deliverables and, if appropriate, associated units of measure. (6) An assessment of the contractor’s progress towards the completion of the overall purpose and expected outcomes or results of the contract (i.e., not started, less than 50 percent completed, completed 50 percent or more, or fully completed). This covers the contract (or portion thereof) funded by the Recovery Act. (7) A narrative description of the employment impact of work funded by the Recovery Act. This narrative should be cumulative for each calendar quarter and only address the impact on the contractor’s workforce. At a minimum, the Contractor shall provide—(i) A brief description of the types of jobs created and jobs retained in the United States and outlying areas (see definition in FAR 2.101). This description may rely on job titles, broader labor categories, or the contractor’s existing practice for describing jobs as long as the terms used are widely understood and describe the general nature of the work; and (ii) An estimate of the number of jobs created and jobs retained by the prime contractor, in the United States and outlying areas. A job cannot be reported as both created and retained. (8) Names and total compensation of each of the five most highly compensated officers of the Contractor for the calendar year in which the contract is awarded if— (i) In the Contractor’s preceding fiscal year, the Contractor received— (A) 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants) and cooperative agreements; and (B) $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants) and cooperative agreements; and (ii) The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the senior executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. (9) For subcontracts valued at less than $25,000 or any subcontracts awarded to an individual, or subcontracts awarded to a subcontractor that in the previous tax year had gross income under $300,000, the Contractor shall only report the aggregate number of such first tier subcontracts awarded in the quarter and their aggregate total dollar amount. (10) For any first-tier subcontract funded in whole or in part under the Recovery Act, that is over $25,000 and not subject to reporting under paragraph 9, the contractor shall require the subcontractor to provide the information described in (i), (ix), (x), and (xi) below to the contractor for the purposes of the quarterly report. The contractor shall advise the subcontractor that the information will be made available to the public as required by section 1512 of the Recovery Act.

(i) Technical Solution: To enable NIST to determine the quoter’s technical capability, the quoter shall submit a the manufacturer, make and model complete technical description, including product literature if necessary, for the equipment it is proposing, which clearly identifies and clearly states the technical capabilities required. The quoter must demonstrate that the proposed equipment satisfies all of the technical requirements described in the statement of work. The quoter shall complete a line-by-line response to each requirement set forth in each Line Item (information regarding each specification for each UPS shown in the attic/lab room descriptions). Specifications are shown in ranges where possible, preference will be given to higher efficiency, or those closest to the preference. The Contractor shall respond as “exceed”, "meets” or “does not meet”. “Exceeds” means the Contractor meets every aspect of the required specification and exceeds one or more aspects of the required specification. The exceedance must be clearly documented in the quotation; “Meets” means the quoter meets every aspect of the required specification as stated in the solicitation. There are no exceedances; “Does Not Meet” means the quoter does not meet one or more aspects of the required specification. Those aspects that do not meet must be clearly documented in the quotation. The quoter shall also provide a reference to where its technical description in previously or current published product literature supports the selection of “meets” or “exceeds.” If a quoter does not indicate whether its proposed equipment meets a certain technical requirement, NIST will determine that it does not. The quoter must provide the country of origin for all equipment quoted. (ii) Corporate Experience To enable NIST to evaluate the quoter’s experience, the quoter shall demonstrate the extent to which it has recently, within the past 5 years, manufactured, distributed, and installed similar equipment. The quoter’s description of its experience must enable NIST to determine the relevance of its experience to the current requirement. Documentation of at least three (3) similar jobs (provide/install/start up) by the Contractor must be submitted. Descriptions along with pictures, drawings, technical and/or product literature, are examples of acceptable documentation, along with site locations, size of equipment provided and installed. (iii) Logistical Considerations The quoter shall supply lead times, from the date of anticipated Government availability of space (for quote preparation purposes, assume 10 months from date of award for delivery/installation/start-up) for delivery of all line items listed in the Schedule, and provide a milestone schedule indicating the dates for the delivery of the equipment, installation, and start up. The quoter must provide information regarding the delivery, installation, and start-up, along with a full understanding in a detailed plan on how the quoter will manage the delayed delivery, and the possibility of a staggered or rolling installation schedule. This may include agreements with the manufacturer for postponed manufacturing, or an ordering forecast with direct replacement authorization to allow the Government to receive the then-current model of the equipment required. Quoters must acknowledge that no on-site storage of equipment prior to the day of installation will be available at the NIST. Price Quotation Content- Volume III The quoter shall propose a firm-fixed-price for each CLIN. The period of validity of the price should be referenced on the price quotation. If hard copies are being submitted, an original and four copies must be provided. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD – The Government will evaluate quotations and award a purchase order to the quoter whose quotation represents the best value to the Government, price and other factors (technical solution, corporate experience, logistical considerations and past performance) considered. The technical volume will be evaluated first, only those quotes determined to be technically acceptable will be evaluated further. The non-price factors are approximately equal in value, and, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price.
