This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; fixed price quotations are requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NAMA-10-Q-0023 and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ), and quotations furnished are not offers. This request does not commit the government to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of the submission of this quotation or to contract for supplies or services. Any representations and/or certifications attached to this RFQ must be completed by the vendor. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-38 effective February 11, 2010. COMPETITION, EVALUATION, AND CONTRACT TYPE: This is an unrestricted procurement, subject to full and open competition. The Government reserves the right to make an award on the initial quote without discussions of this procurement. Evaluation and award will be in accordance with the procedures of FAR Subpart 13.106, Soliciting Competition, Evaluation of Quotations or Offers, Award and Documentation. Award will be made to the offeror whose conforming quotation in response to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government. Best value for this award will be obtained through a lowest priced technically acceptable evaluation. For evaluation purposes, the firm-fixed price for each contract line item (CLIN) will be determined by multiplying the Unit Price by the Maximum Quantity of units, and the Total firm fixed price will be determined by totaling the firm-fixed price of each CLIN. Vendors must provide pricing for each CLIN. The Government will only accept commercial-off-the-shelf items. Vendors must submit itemized specifications—that address each enumerated requirement of Attachment 2, Salient Characteristics—for each proposed item to facilitate a comprehensive Government evaluation. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) intends to award an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract. This anticipated contract shall be comprised of an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) CLIN that utilizes firm fixed unit prices for the purpose of effectuating orders. The Government guarantees that it will place orders for, at the very least, the Minimum Quantity for each CLIN with the successful vendor. The initial order will be placed immediately following award. NARA may issue additional orders to the successful vendor for 12 consecutive months from date of the IDIQ contract, up to the Maximum Quantity listed. AFFIRMATION STATEMENTS: Vendors must include the Trade Agreement Act (TAA) Country of Production in their quotation submissions in order to assist with verification of TAA compliance. Vendors must confirm in their quote that all products quoted meet the Energy Star® or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) energy use requirements. These products comprising this requirement are required to be compliant with Section 508. Supplies furnished under this RFQ are of domestic origin unless otherwise indicated by vendor.

Destination pricing is requested for each CLIN, all delivery costs must be included in total firm fixed unit price. See Enclosure 1, Schedule of Prices.
