- Description
- Please see attached RFQ for requirements. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, are being utilized for this acquisition. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-48. Offerors will be responsible for obtaining related amendments to this solicitation, if any, from www.fbo.gov. It is the responsibility of each potential offeror to monitor www.fbo.gov for any amendments or other information related to this solicitation. Any communications regarding this acquisition must be made in writing and forwarded via email to Divya Soni at divya.soni@nist.gov and shall identify the solicitation number, company name, company address, as well as point of contact email address and phone number. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 511210. This requirement is being competed as a small business set-aside whereby Oracle-authorized resellers/business partners will be the potential offeror base. APPLICABLE PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES FOR THIS SOLICITATION: The Following FAR provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation: FAR 52.212-1; FAR 52.212-3; FAR 52.212-4; FAR 52.212-5, including 52.222-50, 52.233-3, and 52.233-4 in paragraph (a)(1), and the following fill-ins in paragraph (b): 52.222-3; 52.222-19; 52.222-21; 52.222-26; 52.222-36; 52.225-13; 52.232-33. All provisions and clauses can be viewed at http://acquisition.gov/comp/far/index.html. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, does not apply to this acquisition because this is support for a database that has already been purchased previously. The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has centralized its database management system onto the Oracle Database Management System (DBMS). Consolidation onto the Oracle DBMS platform is consistent with the NIST Technology Reference Manual (TRM). Inclusion in the TRM as a preferred technology indicates that the Oracle DBMS drives technology choices by total business worth by providing optimal support for the NIST mission. All of NIST's enterprise-level databases are centralized on the Oracle DBMS. Oracle is also mandated by the Commerce Business Systems (CBS) application and, by association, the DoC. This procurement is for licenses and support renewal for NIST's existing Oracle database. This requirement consists of the Contract Line Items in the attached RFQ. Quotations shall be tailored to the exact items listed. See attached RFQ for details. BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: The Office of Information Systems Management (OISM) at NIST has already purchased and is using the Oracle DBMS. The Oracle DBMS is a proprietary application that only Oracle and/or authorized resellers can provide software patches and support for. Only the developer has access to proprietary code to provide the level of support requested. All responsible offerors that are small businesses and Oracle-authorized resellers/business partners are invited to submit quotations in accordance with the instructions below. ADDENDUM TO PROVISION 52.212-1 - QUOTATION SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Paragraph (b) below replaces paragraph (b) in provision 52.212-1. (b) Submission of quotations. Submit signed and dated quotations to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Quotations may be submitted on company letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, quotations must include- (1) The solicitation number; (2) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror; (3) Technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with requirements in the solicitation. Item MUST meet exact specifications as laid out in the description attached. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary; (4) Terms of any expressed warranty; (5) Firm-fixed price for each CLIN and discount terms; (6) Acknowledgement of solicitation amendment(s); (7) Include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Quotations that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration. NIST reserves the right to award a purchase order without discussions, based solely on the submission of the Contractor. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The award will be made to the responsible authorized offeror whose technically acceptable quotation is deemed to represent the lowest price. Offers that meet all of the attached minimum requirements will be deemed technically acceptable.
