Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items 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. Solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-21. _____DESCRIPTION: I.GENERAL BACKGROUND The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent Federal agency created by Congress in 1935 to administer the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector. The statute guarantees the right of employees to organize and to bargain collectively with their employers or to refrain from all such activity. The NLRB has two principal functions: (1) to determine, through secret ballot elections, the free democratic choice by employees whether they wish to be represented by a union in dealing with their employers and, if so, by which union; and (2) to prevent and remedy unlawful acts, called unfair labor practices, by either employers or unions. The Agency processes only those charges of unfair labor practices and petitions for employee elections that are filed with the NLRB in one of its 51 Regional, Sub-regional, or Resident Offices. The Procurement and Facilities Branch, Contracts and Procurement Section, located in Washington, DC, is responsible for the planning, development, coordination, and execution of a comprehensive procurement program for the purchase of open market and other sources, and/or lease of diversified types of supplies and services. The Contracts and Procurement Section also provides a centralized acquisition office for the NLRB for its Headquarters and 51 Field Offices. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE / HOURS OF OPERATION -Contractor personnel are expected to perform service during normal business hours. Normal business hours are 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM. SCOPE The NLRB is looking for a phone contractor (or contractors) to provide phone and wiring maintenance for fifty-two (52) NLRB offices. II.SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS The vendor shall perform all necessary management, supervision, labor, equipment, supplies, and material for the following, on a time and material basis: Add or repair station jacks and station cords. If phone lines or sets are broken, install, move or repair phone equipment. Meet with dial tone vendor to determine if problem is a dial tone, a wiring or an equipment problem. Moving of personnel to new offices: Perform phone closet cross connects so that the person moving will have the same phone number and voice mailbox. Install, repair or replace common equipment in the phone closet. Install or repair wiring. This will include any re-wiring in the telephone closet. Reprogram key system features. The vendor will provide the NLRB with a maintenance log of all maintenance tasks, who performed the task and on what date. All normal preventive maintenance will be scheduled during regular working hours.

The Government intends to award multiple contracts to the responsible offerors whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government and represents the best value, price and other factors considered. Offerors shall ensure they indicate which locations they are bidding on and provide separate pricing for each location. Do not merely state $25 for each service call, when you are proposing pricing for several regional or residential offices. Submit a separate cost proposal for each location. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical capability, past performance, and price/cost. Technical capability and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price/cost. The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government and the proposed approach to performing telephone maintenance, with appropriate consideration given to the three evaluation factors: •Factor 1. Technical •Factor 2. Past Performance •Factor 3. Price Relative importance of the factors, in that, the Technical factor is significantly more important than the Past Performance factor, which is slightly more important than the Price factor. The non-Price factors combined are significantly more important than the Price factor. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for all the factors. Contractors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the contractor with lowest cost. The Government reserves the right to evaluate quotes and award the delivery order on initial quotes, without conducting discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions with one or more contractors and request revised proposals. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL. Technical approach will be evaluated based on the extent to which the contractor concisely and accurately discusses the nature of the services being requested a.Technical Excellence – The degree in which the contractor understands the technical requirements of the proposed contract. b. Personnel Qualifications – Contractor shall propose personnel requirements and qualifications, including key personnel and submit resumes for the key personnel. In addition, the contractor shall provide “letters of commitment” or “letters of intent” for the key personnel. The resumes shall describe the qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the proposed key personnel. FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE Past performance shall be evaluated on a measure of the Government’s confidence in the Contractors ability to successfully perform and meet the objective, based on relevant contracts the Contractor has undertaken within the last 3 years of similar size and scope. The following sub-factors will be evaluated: a.Quality of Product or Service – The degree to which the Contractor can show the ability to meet all service level agreements and ensure customer satisfaction. b.Timeliness of Performance – The degree in which the Contractor meets established schedules or milestones. The Contractor will describe how it will staff the requirements throughout the life of the contract. c.Cost Control – The degree in which the Contractor completes repairs within the established time period. d.Business Relations – The degree in which the Contractor has the ability to maintain a professional working relationship with government staff, be up front with controversial issues even if they are viewed negatively and maintain a high degree of honesty and integrity. In the case of an contractor without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Contractor will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. FACTOR 3: PRICE— Price will be evaluated based on competition and information supplied in each proposal. In accordance with FAR 52.217-5, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the proposed line items or bottom line price is significantly unbalanced or unjustified. The determination of Best Value will be made by comparing the differences in the value of the non-pricing factors with the differences in the discounted prices proposed. In making this comparison, the Government is more concerned with obtaining superior technical performance than in lowest overall price. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to the Government to achieve only a slightly superior technical performance. Overall price may be more significant as proposals are determined to be equal based on other non price factors.
