Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Digital Water Baths, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Precision Brand Name or Equal commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, 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. Solicitation number 36C10G18Q9143 is issued for this combined synopsis/solicitation; this solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). This combined synopsis/solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-100 dated August 22, 2018. Requirement Description: To ensure we can continue to provide Veterans with the benefits and care they have earned through their selfless service, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is changing the way we do business. Specifically, we are improving the management of our supply chain to aggregate demand and facilitate ease of ordering in the field. Throughout VA, we are moving from local contracting to national contracting whenever feasible. Simplified ordering processes will drive volume towards suppliers with national contracts. Simultaneously, greater cost transparency throughout the VA will allow clinicians and VA leaders to select medical equipment that optimizes Veteran outcomes at the lowest cost. For our suppliers, we anticipate that these changes will ease the process of doing business with the VA and drive down our suppliers costs. We welcome opportunities to work closely with suppliers to further reduce costs. In return, we expect that suppliers will offer the VA value commensurate with VA s status as the largest integrated healthcare provider in the United States. Specifically, VA expects that it will receive the most favorable prices, warranties, conditions, benefits, and terms for the same product as those given by the supplier to any provider in the country. We expect that VA s large volumes will increasingly be directed toward those suppliers best able to offer value to the VA. VA looks forward to collaborating with its suppliers to further drive down costs to deliver optimal value to our Veterans. The VA has a requirement to purchase Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Precision Brand Name or Equal Digital Water Baths to deliver patient care at its VA medical facilities throughout the United States, U.S. Territories, Guam, and the Philippines. A Firm-Fixed-Price Requirements contract will be awarded in accordance with all terms, conditions, provisions, specifications and schedule of this solicitation herein. Quotes shall contain the vendor s best terms for cost/price and technical capabilities of the Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Precision Brand Name or Equal Digital Water Baths. The government reserves the right to award without discussions. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 and the associated size standard is 1000 employees. This procurement action is not set-aside for small business concerns. This acquisition is in accordance with FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 16.5 for Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Precision Brand Name or Equal Digital Water Baths as identified in Attachment A, Cost/Price Schedule. All interested vendors shall provide a quote for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) listed in Attachment A, Cost/Price Schedule which includes the option years. The VA is looking to establish a one-year contract with two 12-month option periods. Delivery is FOB destination and requires delivery to VA medical facilities throughout the United States, U.S. Territories, Guam, and the Philippines. Firm-Fixed-Price Orders will be placed against this contract in writing and will provide the exact delivery locations, delivery dates and exact quantities.
