- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, Streamline Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation, FA8902-05-R-0004, is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-03. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 541380 and the small business size is $10 Million. This requirement is for the testing of six (6) Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) handheld devices that may be used for potable water purification in field operations. The Field Water Medic Program conducted a market survey in 2004 that identified handheld water purification devices that are commercially available. The selected devices passed National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Protocol (P) 231/United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) certification for removal of microbiologicals, claimed FDA approval and were close to meeting the draft Capabilities Development Document (CDD) requirements of fit, form, function. NSF P231 is currently the only protocol that is capable of testing to the requirements for DOD handheld water purification standards for limited use. From this study, the AF has identified six devices that warrant testing to verify that they can meet the war fighter?s requirements. The contractor will be required to test three each of six (6) Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) devices which are identified in paragraph 5.1 on the attached Statement of Work (SOW). The Contractor shall use a maximum of eighteen (18) devices. Testing must be done in accordance with the government approved test procedures. This will be a firm-fixed price contract. Quotes shall address all requirements in this combined synopsis/solicitation, and shall provide clear evidence of understanding and ability and willingness to comply with the Government?s specifications of need. Failure to address a specification/requirement will be construed by the Government as inability to meet the need, or the offeror?s taking exception to it. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to this combined synopsis/solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: price, technical capability, past performance and delivery. Vendors shall address all requirements in this combined synopsis/solicitation and shall provide clear evidence of understanding and the ability and willingness to comply with the Government?s specifications of need.
