SUBJECT: Solicitation No W91CRB26CEGBVQA; Request for Proposal (RFP)

This is a DRAFT COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION for COMMERCIAL ITEMS prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 12.202, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes a DRAFT solicitation; a formal SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION will be issued if the Government moves forward with this contemplated action, and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provision to clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-93, effective 02 January 2017. The word Government in this document refers to the United States Government, its authorized Agencies, Departments, Representatives, Personnel and Assigns Only.

This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP), Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case: EG-B-VQA, Country: EGYPT

The associated North American Industrial Classification Standard (NAICS) Code is 334511; the Federal Supply Classification (PSC) is 5855

The Government intends to procure commercial items which are defined in the Statement of Work (SOW). A high-level overview is as follows:

Item Description Quantity Item Requirements Para

3.1.1 AN/PVS-7B 310 3.1.1

3.1.2 Spare Image Intensifier Tubes 8 3.1.2

3.1.3 NVD Spare Parts 310 3.1.3

The U.S. Government reserves the unilateral right to make no award. Offeror shall provide, as part of its proposal package, a technical proposal that is sufficiently detailed to prove that the commercial product it is offering meets all the salient characteristics in accordance with this solicitation. Offeror shall include adequate sales history for the product(s) it is offering.

Basis for Award:

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers in accordance with 52.212-2:

This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside procurement. Only offers submitted by Small Businesses will be considered for award. The Government intends to award a single Firm Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR 52.212-2, utilizing the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

1) Technical Acceptability:

a.) To be considered technically acceptable, the offeror must submit a technical proposal that defines the complete item list they propose and details how they will achieve the requirements defined in the Statement of Work (SOW). Proposals that merely restate, rephrase, or copy the requirements of the SOW without providing a substantive narrative of the offeror's approach will be considered technically unacceptable and will not be evaluated further. Proposals that consist solely of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) data sheets without an accompanying narrative, will be considered unacceptable

b.) The proposal must demonstrate that the offered items meet or exceed all characteristics listed in paragraphs 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and 3.1.3 of the SOW.

c.) The Government's evaluation will be limited to the information provided by the Offeror. The Offeror is responsible for submitting a proposal with sufficient detail to clearly demonstrate a full understanding of and compliance with the solicitation requirements. The use of hyperlinks is prohibited.

d.) If the Offeror includes assumptions, terms, conditions, caveats, or exceptions with the technical proposal, the offer may be considered technically unacceptable and therefore ineligible for award.

2) Price:

a.) The Government shall evaluate the total price for all line items for price reasonableness. A price realism analysis will not be conducted.

b.) In line with the LPTA process, the Government will first evaluate the lowest priced offer for technical acceptability. Should that offer be determined technically unacceptable, the next lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability, and so on, until an offer is found to be technically acceptable and an award can be made.

3) Discussions:

The Government intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to hold discussions if necessary.

Government Inspection and Acceptance:

In conjunction with the request for pickup, the contractor shall be ready for Government quality assurance inspection and acceptance at their facility. The contractor shall provide the cognizant DCMA Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) access to the staged material for verification. The contractor must have all necessary documentation available to demonstrate that the items conform to the contract's requirements, including the PWS and all warranty provisions.

Upon successful verification, the DCMA QAR will formally accept the items on behalf of the U.S. Government. This formal acceptance at source is the point at which title passes to the Government and is a prerequisite for arranging pickup.

FOB ORIGIN SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS

The delivery term for this contract is Free on Board (FOB) Origin. The Government, through the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), is responsible for the pickup and transportation of all items from the contractor's facility. The contractor's responsibility for the equipment ends once it has been formally accepted by the Government's representative at the contractor's designated facility.

CRITICAL NOTE: THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SHIP THE MATERIAL.

The contractor shall adhere to the following process:

1. Consolidation and Staging:

The contractor shall consolidate and stage all items required for a complete Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) at their facility.

2 Request for Government Pickup:

Upon staging the complete order, the contractor shall contact the cognizant DCMA office to submit a Shipping Instructions Request (SIR). This request must be submitted no less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the desired pickup date. This lead time is mandatory for the Government to coordinate transportation.

3. Packaging and Marking:

Prior to the scheduled Government pickup, the contractor shall prepare the shipment for transit. All items shall be packaged in accordance with standard commercial best practices suitable for protecting the items during shipment. The exterior of each shipping container must be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129P, and at a minimum, must include the following information:

• Contract Number
• FMS Case Designator

DCMA Point of Contact:

The specific contact information for the cognizant DCMA office (including name, phone, and email) will be provided to the successful offeror upon contract award.

• The Government is not obligated to inform an Offeror of any compliance deficiencies in their proposal.

Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Contractors

1. The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying new solicitation and contract writing software to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software suite will soon replace most existing Army contract writing systems, including the system used to create and release this Contract.
2. During this transition period, Contractors are hereby advised:
3. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to generate distributable copies of this contract during its period of performance, as well as any subsequent modifications or orders (if applicable). As a result:
4. 1. Subsequent documents you receive may appear noticeably different than the original award or previous contractual documents from the same Contracting Office.
5. 1. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning contract terms and conditions to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued.
6. 1. Contractors shall ensure Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and personnel interacting with this contract are prepared to identify and respond appropriately to differences between document versions.
7. The Government does not intend to use the shift between contract writing systems to effect any changes to Contract terms and conditions. Therefore:
8. 1. Contractors should view changes to terms or conditions between document versions as system-generated and potentially erroneous unless accompanied by narrative(s) designating such changes as deliberate and desired.
9. 1. Contractors shall inform the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the most recent document issued for guidance regarding any suspected or observed inadvertent or system-generated changes (e.g. noticing something missing in a new conformed copy).
10. 1. The Government will correct any inadvertent or system-generated changes, additions, or omissions discovered by either party, via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor.
11. 1. The terms and conditions contained in the latest document reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the last conformed copy of the award not affected by the observed issue) will take precedence until these problems are corrected.
12. In the unlikely event award information is corrupted or mutilated during system migration and replacement or re-issuance of this contract is necessary for continued contract administration, the Contracting Officer will:
13. 1. Issue a continuation contract in accordance with DFARS 204.1601(c) and DFARS PGI 204.1601(c), carrying over all terms and conditions from the last-known version of this contract accurately reflecting mutual agreement of the parties.
14. 1. Incorporate the last-known version of this contract accurately reflecting mutual agreement of the parties as an attachment to the replacement or continuation contract for future reference.
15. 1. Ensure any such reissuance or continuance is properly reported to preserve the integrity of Contractor performance measurement data, if any (e.g. FAPIIS, CPARS).
