Description

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. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation W81NTE81028501 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-05. This acquisition is under NAICS code 339112. The requirements in this solicitation are: CLIN 0001, 2 EA MEDIVANCE ARCTIC SUN 2000 CONTROL MODULE. ITEM #200-02 CLIN 0002, 40 EA ENERGY TRANSFER PAD SETS SMALL KIT PART #317-05, 12 EA MEDIUM KIT PART#317-07, 20 EA LARGE KIT PART#317-09 CLIN 0003, 2 EA ETP UNIVERSAL PAD ITEM#317-00; CLIN 0004, 2 EA, CALIBRATION TEST UNIT ITEM # 741-00; CLIN 0005, 2 EA EXTENDED WARRANTY. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal applies to this acquisition. The salient characteristics for the Medivance Arctic Sun 2000 Temperature Management System are a water-based, non-invasive thermoregulatory device that monitors and automatically controls patient temperature within a range of 33oC to 37 oC (91.3 oF to 98.6 oF). The Arctic Sun System consists of the Control Module and single-use Arctic Gel Pads. Components provides the unique advantage of safe rapid deployment of therapy and effiicient temperature modulation. The Arctic Gel Pads, the key component of the Arctic Sun System, have a unique construction that includes a water based, biocompatible hydrogel layer. The hydrogel coated pads cover minimal body surface area and adhere to the patients abdomen, back, and thighs. The Arctic Sun pulls water under negative pressure through the pads at a high velocity in a temperature range between 4 oC an 42 oC (39.2 oF and 107.6 oF) for rapid heat exchange. The negative pressure flow prevents water leakage and helps ensure a safe and hassle-free work environment. The other key component, the Arctic Sun Control Module, incorporates an internal control algorithm that reacts to patient temperature by automatically adjusting the circulating pad water temperature to achieve a preset patient target temperature. The temperature feedback from the patient is supplied to the control module using standard YSI-400 patient temperature probes, such as bladder, rectal, esophageal or nasopharyngeal probes. The combination of an efficient control algorithm and thermal conductivity of the hydrogel results in thermoregulatory system that surpasses many expectations and proves to be a useful tool for patients undergoing therapeutic temperature modulation. Vendors shall comply with FAR 52.211-6 if submitting other than the Brand Name product. Clause 52.211-6 (and other clauses throughout this solicitation) can be viewed by accessing website http://farsite.hill.af.mil/. Delivery, 14 days after receipt of order, shipping shall be FOB destination to Brooke Army Medical Center, 3851 Roger Brooke Drive, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6200. FAR provision 52.212-1 [Instructions to Offerors Commercial] applies to this acquisition to include the following addenda: All offerors are cautioned that if selected for award, they must be registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) program. The CCR can be accessed via the internet at www.ccr.gov/. Confirmation of CCR registration will be validated prior to awarding a contract. The award decision will be based on the BEST VALUE offered to the government and not solely on price. Evaluation of Quotations: (a) The Government will issue an order from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Technical capability, past performance, and price. (b) Provide the following information with your quote: 1. Technical Capability: If providing an equal product(s), quotes must comply with FAR provision 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal. 2. Past Performance. Attached to this solicitation is a Past Performance Questionnaire to be completed by three customers of the same or similar products or services. Vendors are responsible for ensuring completed questionnaires are submitted to the Great Plains Regional Contracting Office by the RFQs closing date and time (see address and point of contact information at the end of this RFQ). 3. Price (c) Award will be on an all or none basis. Vendors must submit their quotes by the due date and time below. Quotes received at other than the stated address will not be considered for award. Evaluation Process: All quotes will be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria: 1. Each vendor will be evaluated on its overall Past Performance under the existing or prior contracts for the same or similar supplies and/or equipment as well as Technical Capability. Pricing will be evaluated to determine value offered for the price and the extent to which it is fair and reasonable in terms of the Governments requirement. The Government reserves the right to evaluate quoted prices on the basis of price realism and will consider quoted prices as an indication of understanding the scope and complexity of the governments requirement. 2. The award decision will be based on the Best Value offered to the Government and not solely on price related factors. In making the award decision, the Contracting Officer will consider the evaluated rating of all factors. 3. Technical Capability and Past Performance are equal in importance. Technical capability and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Price could become the determinative selection factor if the quality of the quotes are determined to be essentially equal, or if a quote deemed superior in technical quality is determined not to worth the high price premium. The Trade-off between technical merit and price could result in awarding to other than the low offeror. Vendors shall include a completed copy of FAR provision 52.212-3 with their offer. The provision can be downloaded by accessing the website listed in this solicitation.
