- Description
- Tax Exemption Certificate Commercial Items Clauses Specifications This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item 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. Requirement: USDA-ARS, 1691 South 2700 West, Aberdeen, ID 83210 has a requirement for Next Generation Target Sequence Capture in Wheat (see attached Specifications for the complete requirement). Brand Name or equal. Solicitation #AG-0202-S-18-0011 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document, with the attached clauses and provisions, is issued in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and will be incorporated in the awarded firm-fixed price purchase order. Interested vendors should reference the solicitation documents for all terms and conditions. Due to the complexity of government contracting we may not have funds available to support this project. All interested parties are responsible for monitoring this website to ensure they have the most current information (i.e. Amendments; etc.) for the solicitation. No paper solicitation will be available. No Set Aside (unrestricted). NAICS Code: The associated NAICS code is 541714. Period of Performance: TBD. Biobased Products: This procurement requires the use of Biobased products to the extent that such products are reasonably available, meet agency or relevant industry performance standards, and are reasonably priced. The products should first be acquired from the USDA designated products categories. All supplies and materials shall be of a type and quantity that conform to applicable Federal specifications and standards, and to the extent feasible and reasonable; include the exclusive use of biobased and recycled products. Please visit www.biopreferred.gov for more information on the USDA Biobased Program and to reference the catalog of mandatory biobased products. Quote Submission Instructions: 1. Read the solicitation in its entirety (including the Specifications document). 2. The quote should include any other documentation deemed necessary, such as past performance references. 3. Quotes must be submitted via email by 5:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time, Friday, September 21, 2018, by email to Rose.Wride@ars.usda.gov. Please make quote effective until September 30, 2018. 4. Award of the contract resulting from this solicitation will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal offers the "best value" to the Government, which may not necessarily be the quote offering the lowest price nor the highest technical advantage. In the event two or more offerors within the competitive range are considered essentially equal in terms of technical competence, the Government reserves the right to award to the offeror with the lowest realistic price. 5. The Government intends to establish a delivery order without further communicating with contractors. Consequently, contractors are highly encouraged to quote their best technical and pricing quotes in their initial submissions. However, the Government reserves the right to communicate with any or all contractors submitting a technical and price quote, if it is determined advantageous to the Government to do so. This statement is not to be construed to mean that the Government is obligated to communicate with every quoter (note that FAR Part 15 procedures do not apply orders below SAT therefore formal discussions are not applicable). A contractor may be eliminated from consideration without further communication if its technical and/or pricing quotes are not among those Contractors considered most advantageous to the Government based on a best value determination. Therefore, each quote should be submitted in the most favorable terms, from a price and technical standpoint. See FAR 9.104-1. 6. USDA-ARS is Tax Exempt. See attached Tax Exemption Certificate: 720564834F. 7. GSA discounts: The USDA is requesting that schedule contractors extend additional discounts to the USDA when making responses to this solicitation. GSA contract schedule holders are able to offer one-time discounts from established Schedule contracts. Schedule contractors can give one buying member a discount without passing the discount on to the entire federal government. This provision allows the contractor to offer and the government to avail itself of spot pricing in the commercial market. 8. Contractor must be registered at SAM.gov (System for Award Management) at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ prior to award. The clause 52.214-4, Contract Terms and Conditions--Commercial Items and 52.214-5, Contract Terms and Conditions required to implement Statues or Executive Orders--Commercial Items, apply to this acquisition.
