- USU150003 Equipment List (For Comments Only) USU150003 Draft RFP (For Comments Only) USU150003 Sources Sought Notice * Refer to the attachments for complete detail This is a follow-up Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for our original SSN USU140002 posted on April 25, 2014. USU plans to consolidate the maintenance of nearly all of our office equipment and laboratory/research instrumentations into an undetermined number of awards to reduce the total number of awards that require administration both on the part of the vendor and the government. At this time we are looking for interested firms to identify themselves and we are soliciting comments on the procurement approach and structure. General Overview: The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) is located in Bethesda, MD. Please carefully read the following and let us know if you are able to fulfill all or part of our requirement. This is a sources sought notice, not a request for proposal (RFP). Offerors responding to this notice will not be reimbursed for any costs associated in the preparation of their submission. The USU is the only Federal health sciences university and we are committed to excellence in military medicine and public health during peace and war. We provide the Nation with health professionals dedicated to career service in the Department of Defense (DoD) and the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and with scientists who serve the common good. We serve the uniformed services and the Nation as an outstanding academic health sciences center with a worldwide perspective for education, research, service, and consultation; we are unique in relating these activities to military medicine, disaster medicine, and military medical readiness. USU is located in Bethesda, MD on the grounds of the Naval Support Activity Bethesda. Additional information regarding USU and its mission can be found on our website: www.usuhs.mil. If interested in this acquisition opportunity, please registered on SAM.gov with completed Representations & Certifications (Reps & Certs) using NAICS Code 811219 Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance with a size standard of $20,500,000. USU reserves the right to award either a comprehensive maintenance contract using firm-fixed price (FFP) or a time-and-material (T&M) service contract for each machine (or none at all). We envision that groups of equipment will be awarded to a single provider and that when future similar equipment requires maintenance (warranty expires) the new item will be added to that firms coverage at a mutually agreed upon price. Interested vendors are invited to express their thoughts on this approach. For those interested vendors, please review the attached Equipment List spreadsheet. Please note there are multiple sheets within this attachment. Minimum Specifications: Interested vendors shall not submit a formal proposal with this sources sought notice. USU is simply looking for potential vendors and comments to the RFP and the Equipment List attachment from interested vendors. Interested vendors may add comments directly on the documents with Track Changes. Please refer to the attached Equipment List spreadsheet for details on the equipment components, annual PM, period of performance (PoP), and previous/existing purchase order (PO) information. Our intent is to award a single or multiple firm-fixed-price (FFP) option contract(s) and/or a time-and-material (T&M) service contract for one base year + four option years (five years total). We understand some aging equipment units may not be covered for all five years. If the coverage cannot be extended for all five years, please note so in the column P Vendor's Comment section. The maintenance service, including PM services, must be completed in accordance to the OEM's specifications. We will request a Certificate of Conformance to Manufacturer's Specifications and Operability from the awardee(s) at the end of the contract PoP for each equipment/instrumentation. A template Certificate will be issued at a later time, likely upon the issuance of the RFP. Interested vendors must offer unlimited remedial repairs and must be available during normal Federal work hours: Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays, from 7:30A to 4:00P. Also, vendors must initiate and coordinate with end-users and the Technical Services Branch (TSB) on all PM visits. Technical Evaluation factors when combined are more important than price. Evaluation factors are listed in their order of importance, with the most important being listed first: 1.Technical 2.Guaranteed Repair Time 3.Corporate Experience 4.Past Performance 5.Price All the equipment/instrumentation units are located in Bethesda, MD or its vicinity. The services must be completed onsite, unless noted otherwise. Responses are requested by 10:00PM EST on August 3, 2015. All responses must be emailed to the contract specialist, Andrew Lee, at andrew.lee@usuhs.edu. In your submission, please provide the following information: a.Official Company Name; b.Point-of-Contact, including name, email address, and phone number; and c.DUNS Number.
