This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) The combined synopsis/solicitation number is W52H1B222901B2. The solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The Government contemplates award of a Firm Fixed Price contract. Vendors who are not registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to award will not be considered. Vendors may register online at www.sam.gov. (iii)This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-51. (iv)This requirement is a Total Small Business Set Aside. The associated North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 332510 and the Business Size Standard is 500. (v) This combined synopsis/solicitation is for the following commercial item(s): CLIN: 0001 ITEM: Aluminum Piano Hinges UNIT OF MEASURE: inches QUANTITY: 7,224 (vi) Description of Requirement: CLIN: 0001 Aluminum Piano Hinge, AA5594-11A, 84.00 +/-.03 lengths (vii) Delivery Date: 7 days ADC Acceptance: Destination. Inspection: Destination FOB: Destination to Rock Island, IL 61299 (viii) FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. (ix) FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items. All offerors must carefully review the delivery requirement in the request for quote or solicitation. When submitting an offer/bid, please ensure that you can meet the delivery schedule. On time delivery is very critical. Therefore, offerors must adhere to the delivery requirements indicated in any resultant award. Failure to comply with the contractual delivery schedule, may result in termination of the order or require consideration if the government elects to extend delivery. The Government is not required to extend your delivery schedule if you encounter delays. The non-availability of raw materials, subcontractor issues, scheduling conflicts, etc., should be considered at the time you are submitting your offer/bid. They are not acceptable excuses for failing to meet the delivery after award. Ensuring that you can provide quality products that conform to the contract is just as important as meeting the required delivery schedule. Delivery of non-conforming products results in delivery delays and increased costs to the Government. Please note that if you receive this award, your performance under this contract (including timeliness of deliveries and the quality of supplies/services delivered) will be monitored and recorded by this contracting office. This information may be used to determine a record of past performance for future contract awards. Contractors/offerors that are concerned about their record of past performance may contact this office if they wish to view and discuss their records. EVALUATION OF AWARD (1) Price: The Government will evaluate quotes based on prices quoted in the paragraph (v) of this solicitation. (2) Past Performance: This factor will be based on information obtained from any sources available to the JMTC Contracting Office, including the PD2 Vendor Performance Database for the JMTC Contracting Office, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System- Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) and other records maintained by the JMTC Contracting Office or other agencies. Data maintained by this contracting office may include an offeror's record of performance on previous contracts issued by this contracting office. Quotes received from vendors with no past performance history information will be evaluated based on information obtained from various sources, such as contracting agency experience with the contractor, previous contract history available from DCMA, etc. The Government does not intend to discuss any negative Past Performance data with offerors, if that data is contained in the JMTC contracting office's own records on past contract performance, or PPIRS-SR database. The Government intends to make a single award to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, based on an integrated analysis of each offeror's Past Performance and Price. The final award decision will be a trade-off between Past Performance and price, with the Past Performance factor being more important than price. The Government will develop a Past Performance rating for each offeror, based on the Past Performance information described above. This may include numerically-generated scores (such as PPIRS-SR), narrative information contained in this contracting office's own databases, or descriptions provided by references. The contracting officer will analyze this information and develop an adjectival rating, going from "Low Risk" to "Medium Risk" and finally "High Risk". Offerors who have no past performance information will be assigned a "Neutral Risk" rating. The contracting officer will perform a trade-off analysis based on the assigned Past Performance rating and price for each proposal. In determining the best value to the Government, award may be made to other than the lowest-priced proposal. While the Past Performance factor is more important than price, the price factor may become controlling as Past Performance ratings tend to equalize. INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUOTE SUBMISSION The Government intends to make an award based on a best value basis. This process will involve a trade-off analysis, if applicable, between Price and Performance Risk. This may result in award to other than the low quote and/or other than the highest rated (best performance risk) quote. For the evaluation of Performance Risk, the Government will obtain information from the any sources available to the JMTC Contracting Office, including the PD2 Vendor Performance Database for the JMTC Contracting Office, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System- Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) and other records maintained by the JMTC Contracting Office or other agencies. You are not required to submit any additional information on Performance Risk. The Government does not intend to discuss performance risk information with the offerors.
