- Combined Synopsis/Solicitation This is a combined synopsis/solicitation issued for commercial items in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Methods, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice and in accordance with FAR 13.106(b) Single Source Brand Name Requirement purchase descriptions. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a firm fixed price quotation is requested and a formal written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NAMA-10-Q-0038 and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ).

An order will be issued to the vendor whose submitted quotation completely conforms to the posted RFQ and its requirements and will be most advantageous to the Government.

The government prefers base plus option year pricing but a quote with only base year will be considered. It is imperative for NARA to purchase BŐWE BELL + HOWELL as well as KODAK brand certified service because of the proprietary nature specialized systems and the lack of compatibility among competing products which is designed by the commercial industry as a way to protect corporate profits and preclude pirating of proprietary data and code.
