Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a Brand-Name only Firm-fixed price quotation is being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NAMA-11-Q-0086 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This is a Request for Quotation, and quotations 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. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-53, effective August 4, 2011. COMPETITION, EVALUATION, AND CONTRACT TYPE: This is a "Brand Name Only" requirement under NAICS 511210, Software Publishers. The justification for a Brand Name product is attached to this combined synopsis/solicitation. The resulting purchase order will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order and will be issued to the Contractor whose conforming quotation in response to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government. The Government reserves the right to issue multiple purchase orders or to award on the initial quote without discussions. Evaluation and award will be in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items in conjunction with the procedures of FAR Subpart 13.106, Soliciting Competition, Evaluation of Quotations or Offers, Award and Documentation. Best value for this procurement will be obtained through a lowest price technically acceptable evaluation. In order to be determined technically acceptable, all technical specifications and quotation submission requirements must be met, including the required documentation submissions outlined below. The Government will only accept commercial off-the-shelf items. Contractors are required to submit: (1) a completed RFQ Enclosure 1, Schedule of Prices; (2) a completed RFQ Enclosure 2, Require Quote Information; and (3) proof from the OEM manufacturer, in writing, of its status as an authorized/certified OEM Contractor of the manufactured items. [Note: For evaluation purposes, the firm-fixed price for each CLIN will be determined by multiplying the Unit Price by the Quantity of units, and the total fixed price will be determined by summing the firm-fixed price of all CLINs, to include the option CLINs. Contractors must provide pricing for each CLIN, including any option CLINs.]. Failure to submit any of the required information and documentation with the quotation may result in rejection of the quotation. BACKGROUND: The National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) Systems Support (ISS) has a requirement for 15 perpetual licenses in addition to its existing 15 licenses for MobileFrame Barcode Application Software, plus a base-year of annual maintenance and support for all 30 licenses and four consecutive option years of annual maintenance and support for all 30 licenses. REQUIREMENTS: Contractors must submit their pricing in accordance with RFQ Enclosure 1, Schedule of Prices. Note: All prices must be in U.S. Dollars. NARA requires that all products are purchased from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized/certified Contractors only. AFFIRMATION STATEMENTS: It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that NARA is not provided either counterfeit or gray market products. Proof of authorization and support from the OEM, including verification that all OEM products are certified authentic, must be in the form of a letter signed by an authorized official of the OEM of the product being quoted and must be included as part of the quotation package. In the event that such IT products are determined to be counterfeit or gray market, NARA will seek all available legal remedies including criminal prosecution. Counterfeit information technology product means any item of information technology (IT), including hardware and software that is an unauthorized copy, replica, or substitute. A gray market item is an item produced by an OEM that was not intended for sale in the USA; as a result, manufacturers will not honor associated warranties and service agreements. Unless the Contractor is authorized by the manufacturer to resell in the USA the particular items quoted, it is in both the Contractor's and the Government's best interest that the Contractor simply not respond. NARA will verify with the manufacturers immediately upon order issuance that the Contractor is an authorized reseller for this buy. Any issues with the information provided by the manufacturer to the Government about the gray market status of the items must be addressed by the Contractor to the manufacturer. The Government will immediately cancel any order based on a quotation of gray market items. In an effort to further ensure NARA is receiving new, manufacturer-approved OEM items and eligible for the benefits of any warranties or other manufacturer guarantees, NARA requires each Contractor to submit with its quotation proof from the OEM manufacturer, in writing, of its status as an authorized/certified OEM Contractor of the manufactured items. QUESTIONS: Questions regarding this RFQ must be submitted in writing to Mr. James Watson no later than 4:00 PM ET on September 21, 2011 to be considered. Questions submitted in any other manner will not be answered. The Government will answer questions or requests for clarification via a written RFQ amendment. RFQ CLOSE DATE: Quotations should be received by 2:00 PM ET on September 23, 2011. Failure to submit quotations by the due date may result in rejection of the quotation as untimely. Contractors submitting quotations via e-mail are cautioned to allow one extra business day for delivery and confirm receipt of quotation as the e-mail will need to pass through IT security. Telephonic responses will not be processed. QUOTATION SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Contractors may either mail one (1) hardcopy or email one (1) copy of the quotation. Mailed quotations must be sent to National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), Attention: Mr. James Watson (NAMA-11-Q-0086), 8601 Adelphi Road, Room 3340, College Park, MD 20740-6001.
