Clauses and Provisions incorporated by reference may be obtained at: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vfhhsara.htm The provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors- Commercial Items applies to this solicitation. Addenda to this provision are as follows: Prices shall be valid through 09/30/2014 and award is subject to the availability of funds. Price quotes shall be F.O.B. destination (Inside Delivery) inclusive of shipping and handling expense. The quote shall provide information on any turn-key solutions, inclusive of all necessary supplies, equipment, components, tubing, fittings, test solutions, adapters, software, accessories, etc. It is absolutely essential that quote contain sufficient technical data and literature to unequivocally demonstrate the proposed system meets or exceeds the stated requirements and that those systems will absolutely support FDA's stated need and intended application. Examples of envisioned technical information to be provided with quote are: descriptive material, technical specifications, literature, brochures. Particular information shall be submitted on the suppressor module for anion analysis. While there are different known methods in the industry, ie electrolytic and chemical suppression, the offeror shall provide documentation to support the selected method's ability to meet the stated application. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information on the proposed products not identified in the offer. Failure to provide sufficient technical detail or a product that does not meet all the minimum requirements will result in the offer being technically unacceptable. Simply restating the requirement does not constitute technical information and will also render the offer unacceptable. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked. The post-warranty maintenance periods will not be firmly established or funded with the purchase of the equipment. If exercised, funding will be obligated individually each year for the option period exercised via contract modification; the option periods shall be priced accordingly. The periods of performance for each option year will be firmed via contract modification if/when the first option year is exercised based upon the actual acceptance and warranty expiration date of the equipment. Offerors are afforded the opportunity to inspect the site the equipment will be installed in by writing the Contract Specialist, Crystal G. McCoskey, crystal.mccoskey@fda.hhs.gov before July 2, 2014, 9:00 am CST. Failure to request any on-site clarification will not relieve the successful offeror from fully meeting the requirements of the resulting contract at the price offered. This solicitation is being issued under the premise that the Contractor will certify that the maintenance services are exempt from the Service Contract Act per the conditions set forth in FAR 52.222-48 & FAR 22.1003-4(c). If this is the case and the Contractor certifies that is exempt under the terms and conditions of 52.222-48, then clause 52.222-51 will flow per usual from this solicitation to the resulting order. In the event that a Contractor does not make this certification, traditional Service Contract Act clauses 52.222-41 and 52.222-43 shall be included in the resulting order award as well as Wage Determination WD 2005-2035 (Rev.14): http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/std/05-2035.txt?v=14 FAR 52.222-48 - Exemption From Application Of The Service Contract to Contracts For Maintenance, Calibration, Or Repair Of Certain Equipment Certification (a) The offeror shall check the following certification: CERTIFICATION The offeror [ ] does [ ] does not certify that- (1) The items of equipment to be serviced under this contract are used regularly for other than Government purposes, and are sold or traded by the offeror (or subcontractor in the case of an exempt subcontractor) in substantial quantities to the general public in the course of normal business operations; (2) The services will be furnished at prices which are, or are based on, established catalog or market prices for the maintenance, calibration, or repair of equipment.
