- Description
- Standard Form 1449 (Solicitation) w/ Specification, Vehicle Master List U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) intends to award multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) in accordance with FAR Part 16.703 with contractors who are capable of providing automotive and related vehicle parts, specialized tools, and accessories to repair and maintain approximately 1,600 vehicles and equipment managed by the 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron (86 VRS) located at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The contractor shall meet all minimum capability requirements and deliver all products required in the Specification/Statement of Need for vehicles/equipment included on the Vehicle Master List in a manner that supports 86 VRS's mission efficiently and effectively. The Government's minimum capability requirements, vital to successful accomplishment of the requirement, are: 1. Response time: The contractor shall acknowledge all parts orders placed by the Government via electronic means within 24 hours of receipt, or the next business day. 2. Speed of service/parts shipments: Priority/emergency parts shall be shipped to the Government within two (2) business days of the contractor receiving all parts to fulfill the order requested by the Government. Routine/working stock parts shall be shipped to the Government within five (5) business days of the contractor receiving all parts to fulfill the order requested by the Government. 3. Accuracy of parts orders: All parts are inspected/verified for correctness prior to shipment to ensure that the parts received correspond to the parts ordered. 4. Quality of parts: All parts furnished by the contractor shall meet or exceed the quality of the part furnished on the original piece of equipment. If the requested part is not available, a suitable substitute will be provided that meets all Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements. Rebuilt/remanufactured or used parts must conform to the original manufacturer's tolerance. If OEM is required for any reason, it must be provided by the contractor. 5. Parts warranties: The contractor shall convey to the Government a standard warranty properly funded as part of the procurement (i.e., included in the price of the part/supply). A basic ordering agreement is not a contract; it is a written instrument of understanding, negotiated between an agency, contracting agency, or contracting office and contractor that contains (1) terms and clauses applying to future contracts (orders) between the parties during its term, (2) a description, as specific as practicable, of supplies or services to be provided, and (3) methods for pricing, issuing, and delivering future order under the basic ordering agreement. The BOA can only be changed by modification of the agreement itself and not by individual orders issued under the BOA. Modification of the BOA shall not retroactively affect orders issued prior to the time of the modification. A BOA may be cancelled by either party by mailing or otherwise transmitting 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Any such cancellation shall have no effect on any orders issued prior to the effective date of the cancellation, which shall be 30 days from the date of mailing or otherwise transmitting the written notice of cancellation. Prior to the effective date of cancellation, the 700th Contracting Squadron may continue to place orders under the BOA. Ordering Information Vehicle parts will be ordered via individual delivery orders issued under this BOA. A competitive process among those contractors awarded a BOA for this requirement will determine the contractor selected to receive a specific firm-fixed-price order to supply vehicle parts. USAFE reserves the right to use other evaluation factors, in additional to price, in determining which contractor will receive an order under the BOA. Each order issued shall be subject to the contract clauses, provisions, certifications, terms, conditions, and pricing of the BOA. There is no guaranteed minimum dollar amount or volume of work that will be ordered under the agreement. Government funds are obligated only to the extent that a duly issued order creates such an obligation. If adequate competition cannot be obtained, the Government reserves the right to open the area of competition to include non-BOA holders. (End Ordering Information) Issuance of BOAs will be based on evaluation of qualifications that meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for issuance of a BOA. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. To be considered for issuance of a BOA, an offeror's response shall meet the following specific instructions: 1. Offeror must be able to provide all parts for a minimum of 70 percent of the vehicle/equipment makes and models represented in the Master Vehicle List contained in Appendix C of the Specification/Statement of Need. 2. Blocks 12 (discount terms for prompt payment), 17a, 26, and 30a-c of the attached Standard Form 1449 must be completed. In so doing, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the solicitation with attachments. 3. Any percentage discount offered for a particular Cost Line Item Number (CLIN) shall be from the Manufacturer's Published List (MPL, i.e., retail price) and not some other pricing column that might exist (e.g., dealer, wholesaler, national fleets, etc.). For any percentage discount offered, the offeror must provide either the hardcopy MPL or a web link to the MPL used to formulate the discount. 4. If no discount is offered for a particular CLIN, mark "No Discount" in the blank. For any "No Discount" marked, the offeror must provide either the hardcopy MPL or a web link to the MPL as proof that parts for that particular make/model can be supplied. 5. An incomplete blank is considered "No Bid." A mark of "No Bid" does not require submission of a MPL. 6. CLIN 0085 Shipping of the attached Standard Form 1449 will not be evaluated for award purposes. Actual shipping costs will be reimbursed upon submission of acceptable documentation such as a copy of the invoice that lists the shipping cost associated with each part(s) order. Please refer to the Statement of Need, paragraph 1.4 Shipping Requirements. 7. Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in provisions. The provisions in FAR 52.212-3 and DFAR 252.209-7999 and 252.212-7000 shall be completed and returned. The Government will evaluate offers based on whether they successfully comply with all solicitation requirements as stated above and in the attachment. Upon determining that an offer successfully complies with all solicitation requirements as stated above and in the attachment, the Government will issue a BOA to the offeror. Please provide responses and supporting documentation to Ms. Laura Kunkle, Contract Specialist, 700 CONS/LGCB, email: laura.kunkle@ramstein.af.mil and A1C Nicholas Goldstein, Contract Specialist, 700 CONS/LGCB, email: nicholas.goldstein@ramstein.af.mil by the response deadline as indicated in this solicitation.
