Description

Page 18 of 18 COMBINED SYNOPSIS SOLICITATION 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; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The government anticipates award of a single firm fixed price contract. A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier s quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. The government intends to award without discussion. Solicitation 36C10E20Q0248 is issued as a request for quote (RFQ). The solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-99A, effective June 15, 2018. The combined synopsis/solicitation is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Concerns. Only quotes submitted by Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote that is submitted by a contractor that is not a verified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business in VIP will not be considered for award. The applicable NAICS Code for this solicitation is 561720 and the Small Business Size limitation is $19.5M. Offers from SDVOSB concerns must be registered and verified in the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) Vendor Information Pages (VIP) website at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/ at the time and date set for receipt of offers and at the time and date of award to be considered for award.

PROJECT ADMINISTRATION VBA POC: Aiko Shibuya, Honolulu VA Regional Office Phone: 808-433-0501 vii. FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial Items (JAN 2017), applies to this solicitation. The following provisions are added as addenda: 52.252-1 Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference (FEB 1998) This solicitation incorporates one or more solicitation provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. The offeror is cautioned that the listed provisions may include blocks that must be completed by the offeror and submitted with its quotation or offer. In lieu of submitting the full text of those provisions, the offeror may identify the provision by paragraph identifier and provide the appropriate information with its quotation or offer. Also, the full text of a solicitation provision may be accessed electronically at this/these address(es): http://www.acquisition.gov/far/index.html http://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/ 52.204-7 System for Award Management (OCT 2018) 52.204-16 Commercial and Government Entity Code Reporting (JUL 2016) (End of Provision) (End of Addendum to 52.212-1) 52.212-2, Evaluation Commercial Items, (OCT 2014), applies to this solicitation. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: EVALUATION FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY - The technical capability rating reflects the degree to which the proposed approach has demonstrated the ability to perform COVID Deep Cleaning Services as required by the solicitation. The technical evaluation rating will be determined by evaluating the following: Vendors shall submit documentation illustrating a clear description of the management methodology that will be used for executing the effort described in the SOW. This description shall include: (1) ability to meet response times; (2) details of the vendor s plan (when applicable) to meet the limitations on subcontracting. Vendors must also provide a written statement with adequate assurance that per 13 CFR 125.6 they can meet the limitations of subcontracting. Per 13 CFR 125.6 (1), in the case of a contract for services (except construction), the [prime contractor] will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not similarly situated. Any work that a similarly situated subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 50% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Since an independent contractor such as a 1099 employee is considered a subcontractor then, each independent subcontractor needs to be registered in VIP as an SDVOSB to be considered as a similarly situated SDVOSB entity that does not count towards the limitations of subcontracting. EVALUATION FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE- The past performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of a Vendors recent and relevant past performance. The Vendor shall submit past performance information that is both recent (within the past three (3) years) and relevant (similar in size, scope, and complexity to the requirement being procured), if applicable. Recent and relevant past performance shall be discussed for the prime contractor and/or any major team members or teaming partners proposed to support this contract. The Vendor is provided an opportunity to submit a list of no more than three (3) of the Vendor s most recent and relevant past performance information on projects: similar in size, scope, and complexity to the requirement being procured under this solicitation, performed for Government agencies and/or commercial customers within the last three (3) years from the solicitation release date. The past performance submittals shall include (when applicable): Contract Number, Contracting Officers (CO): Name, Phone number and Email address, Contracting Officers Representatives (COR): Name, Phone number and Email address, Non-Government Points of Contact (if applicable), Total Contract Value at time of award and final price after any/all modifications, Initial Period of performance (POP) and final POP after any/all modifications, Narrative describing the requirement and reason for any modifications which effected price or performance period. The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance data from other sources than those identified by the Vendor in evaluating past performance. In the case of a Vendor 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 Vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Vendor shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of confidence, the Vendor will be evaluated as Unknown Confidence and shall be considered neutral. EVALUATION FACTOR 3: PRICE- The Vendor is required to quote a fully burdened fixed price for the CLIN structure as shown in the solicitation s attached price/cost schedule. Insert the quoted unit and extended prices in Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001 through 1002. All unit prices shall be represented in two decimal positions only. Example: $0.27, not $0.27458. The Government shall evaluate price to determine whether or not it is considered fair and reasonable. Options - The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the base price for the basic requirement to include the possible contract extensions under FAR Clause 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract. The Government will evaluate its option to extend services at FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding six (6) months of the Offeror's proposed price for the final option period to the Offeror's total proposed price. The Government may determine that the quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 1. Contract Type: The contract will be firm-fixed price. It will be competed and awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Government intends to select one Contractor from the subject solicitation. 2. SAM Registration: Quoters must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). No contract will be entered into with an unregistered contractor. Internet access allows you to register by completing an electronic on-line registration application at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ On-line Representations and Certifications (ORCA) may also be filled out at this website. 3. Solicitation Questions: Questions of a technical nature shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer in writing via e-mail. Oral questions of a technical nature are not acceptable due to the possibility of misunderstanding or misinterpretation. The cut-off date and time for receipt of questions is August 10, 2020 by 5:00 PM CST. Questions received after this date and time may not be answered. Questions will be answered in a formal amendment to the solicitation so all interested parties can see the answers. 4.

Basis For Award: This requirement will be competed and awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsive, responsible offeror in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 and whose quote conforms to the solicitation will be the best value to the Government, price and other non-price factors considered. Since award may be made to the Quoter with other than the lowest price, price is not necessarily the determining factor. 6. Award and Selection: Following receipt of quotes, the government will perform an evaluation using a comparative analysis of the products/services quoted, in an impartial manner. The government intends to compare what has been quoted to one another to select the product/service that is best suited to fulfill the requirement. The evaluation factors outlined in this request for quote will determine suitability. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other non-price factors considered. 7.
