The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 332994. This request is a Small Business set aside. This solicitation includes a request for proposal (RFQ) to meet the AMSR requirements and delivery one each functional prototype, Prospective vendors are asked to prepare a written proposal that includes the following: * Narrative, sketches, drawings, photographs, etc. outlining how the critical requirements will be met. * Proposed schedule with timeline for development. * Vendor experience in building .50 caliber rifles including past performance on government contracts. * Company data including facilities, personnel, and production capability. * Price to deliver one prototype. Evaluation and Down-select. This is a best value procurement. Initially, offers will be evaluated based upon price. Those determined "not to have a reasonable chance for award because of excessive pricing" may be rejected and receive no further evaluation or consideration for award. Remaining vendors will be evaluated based on an ability to meet specified critical requirements as defined in the specification and production capability. Non-critical requirements will be evaluated, but vendors will not be disqualified for non-compliance to the non-critical requirements as defined in the specification. The three factors to be evaluated are technical (meeting critical requirements and production capability), past performance, and price. The technical factor is more important than past performance, which is more important than price. It is anticipated that only one vendor will be selected to develop the AMSR. During the source selection process, the Government will assess the offeror's past performance in the evaluation for contract award. Accordingly each offeror is required to submit a list of the three most recent contracts within the past three years, either completed or on-going, for the same or similar product. It is preferred that these contracts be with U.S. Government customers, but contracts with other commercial concerns are also acceptable. Offerors are authorized to provide information relative to any problems encountered on the identified contracts and any corrective action taken by the offeror.
