Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HSTS05-16-Q-OGG007 and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-89. The requirement is set-aside for small business. The associated NAICS code is 238210 and has a small business size standard of $15 million. The solicitation and resultant contract consists of contract line item number 00001 Install 28 oscillating fans, lighting system to BPS/TDC locations, and install/certify electric/internet capabilities at the STSO Podium - 1 Job. Description of requirements for the items to be acquired: Background AIRFLOW: OGG Supervisor's, Lead‘s and Officer's perform passenger screening functions in the security checkpoint daily with minimum airflow. Due to OGG's semi-open environment checkpoint without air conditioning, TSA employees are exposed to hazardous working conditions such as extreme heat, poor ventilation, lack of air conditioning, and a worksite partially exposed to the elements as well as constant movement while lifting heavy carryon bags that can range up to 30 pounds. The lack of airflow creates a very unstable environment for officers to conduct daily checkpoint operations. Adding more airflow throughout the checkpoint would minimize the hazardous working conditions thus improving health and operational efficiencies. LIGHTING: OGG officer's conduct Boarding Pass Scanning (BPS) duties daily from 0500-2330 hours daily in an area that has minimum lighting. The minimum lighting causes officers eyes undue stress as well as efficiency problems during the early morning and late evening scanning. The installation of proper lighting would increase lighting thus eliminating undue eye stress while improving the operational efficiency. PODIUM WORKSTATION (electrical/Internet capabilities): The newly built STSO podium is 90% complete however it requires electrical/internet capabilities to complete the project. The new STSO podium once completed will eliminate all security and safety issues thus decreasing security vulnerabilities and increasing the security checkpoint posture while establishing a professional TSA image.

There are no addenda to the provision. The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items is applicable to this acquisition. The following is an addendum to the provision: Paragraph (a) is filled in as follows: "(i) Past Performance; and, (ii) Price." Paragraphs (b) and (c) are deleted in their entirety and "Reserved." The following paragraphs are added: (d) Award will be made using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) selection process. Award may be made on initial quotations. Therefore, each initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to contact quoters if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary. The LPTA process will proceed as follows: 1) Quotes may be removed from consideration for any of the following reasons: • Quotes that are not received timely • Quotes that fail to follow the instructions in FAR Provision 52.212-1 • Quotes that fail to submit any required documentation • Quotes that have language inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the solicitation 2) Quotes will be ordered by price from lowest to highest. 3) The Government will then review Factor 1 of the lowest priced quote. If the review finds that Factor 1 of the lowest priced quote is acceptable, then that quote represents the best value to the Government and the technical evaluation process stops at this point. Contingent upon a subsequent determination of price reasonableness and of contractor responsibility by the Contracting Officer, an award will be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quoters. If the lowest quote is determined not to be acceptable for any reason, then the next lowest priced quote will receive an evaluation as described above. The process will continue (in order by price) until a quote from a responsible contractor is determined to be acceptable and priced fairly and reasonably. 4) USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT NOT EVALUATE ALL QUOTES. (e) Each Factor will be evaluated as follows: Factor 1. Past Performance Past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as follows: Rating Description Acceptable Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort Note: In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." Note: Quoters are not required to submit past performance references. The Government will use public and Government-restricted sources (e.g. PPIRS) to evaluate past performance. Factor 2. Price Price will not be rated. Price analysis will be conducted to determine reasonableness. Quoters are required to include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items with its quote. Quoters shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if they have completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Web site accessed through http://www.acquisition.gov. If the Quoter has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, it shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (q) of this provision. The clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. There are no addenda to the clause.

Contractor Responsibility for Performance Management. The Contractor shall provide all management, administrative, clerical, and supervisory functions required for the effective and efficient performance of this contract. 2. Limitation on Government Liability. The Government shall not be liable for any injury to the Contractor's personnel or damage to the Contractor's property unless such injury or damage is due to negligence on the part of the Government and is recoverable under the Federal Torts Claims Act, or pursuant to another Federal statutory authority. 3.

The CO shall be notified in writing of any proposed substitution at least fifteen (15) days, or forty-five (45) days if either a background investigation for building or information system access and/or a security clearance (due to classified contract requirements that relate specifically to personnel) must be obtained to meet the contract's requirements, in advance of the proposed substitution. Such notification from the contractor shall include: 1. an explanation of the circumstances necessitating the substitution; 2. a complete resume of the proposed substitute; and 3. any other information requested by the CO to enable him/her to judge whether or not the Contractor is maintaining the same high quality of personnel that provided the partial basis for award. The CO and COR will evaluate substitution requests and promptly notify the Contractor of his/her approval or disapproval in writing. All disapprovals will require resubmission of another substitution within 15 calendar days by the Contractor. J. FAILURE TO COMPLY. Any failure by the Contractor to comply with these requirements may result in a contract termination and/or any other remedy available to the Government, up to and including criminal prosecution where provided for by law. K. INTERRELATIONSHIP OF ASSOCIATE CONTRACTORS. The TSA may enter into contractual agreements with other Contractors (i.e., "Associate Contractors") in order to fulfill requirements separate from the work to be performed under this contract, yet having a relationship to performance under this contract. It is expected that contractors working under TSA contracts will have to work together under certain conditions in order to achieve a common solution for TSA. The Contractor may be required to coordinate with other such Contractor(s) through the cognizant Contracting Officer (CO) and/or designated representative in providing suitable, non-conflicting technical and/or management interface and in avoidance of duplication of effort. Information on deliverables provided under separate contracts may, at the discretion of the TSA and/or other Government agencies, be provided to such other Contractor(s) for the purpose of such work. Where the Contractor and an associate Contractor fail to agree upon action to be taken in connection with their respective responsibilities, each Contractor shall promptly bring the matters to the attention of the cognizant CO and furnish the Contractor's recommendations for a solution. The Contractor shall not be relieved of its obligations to make timely deliveries or be entitled to any other adjustment because of failure of the Contractor and its associate to promptly refer matters to the CO or because of failure to implement CO directions. Where the Contractor and Associate Contractors are required to collaborate to deliver a service; the Government will designate, in writing and prior to the definition of the task, to both Contractors, a "lead Contractor" for the project. In these cases the Associate Contractors shall also be contractually required to coordinate and collaborate with the Contractor. TSA will facilitate the mutual execution of Non-Disclosure Agreements. L. PERSONAL SERVICES "Personal services" are those in which contractor personnel would appear to be, in effect, Government employees via the direct supervision and oversight by Government employees. No personal services shall be performed under this contract. No Contractor employee will be directly supervised by a Government employee. All individual Contractor employee assignments, and daily work direction, shall be given by the applicable employee supervisor of the Contractor. If the Contractor believes any Government action or communication has been given that would create a personal services relationship between the Government and any Contractor employee, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of this communication or action. The Contractor shall not perform any inherently Governmental actions as defined by FAR 7.500. No Contractor employee shall hold him or herself out to be a Government employee, agent, or representative. No Contractor employee shall state orally or in writing at any time that he or she is acting on behalf of the Government. In all communications in connection with this contract, Contractor employees shall identify themselves as Contractor employees and specify the name of the company for which they work. In all communications with other Government Contractors in connection with this contract, the Contractor employee shall state that they have no authority to in any way change any contract and that if the other Contractor believes this communication to be a direction to change their contract, they should notify the Contracting Officer for that contract and not carry out the direction until a clarification has been issued by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall ensure that all of its employees working on this contract are informed of the substance of this clause. Nothing in this special contract requirement shall limit the Government's rights in any way under any other term of the contract, including those related to the Government's right to inspect and accept the services to be performed under this contract. The substance of this special contract requirement shall be included in all subcontracts at any tier. Compliance with this Special Contract Requirement is included in the contract price and shall not be a basis for equitable adjustment.
