Questions must be submitted by using the 'Submit a Question' feature at www.fedbid.com. Questions not received within a reasonable time prior to close of the solicitation may not be considered.*** For this solicitation, Nuclear Regulatory Commission intends to conduct an online competitive reverse auction to be facilitated by the third-party reverse auction provider, FedBid, Inc. FedBid has developed an online, anonymous, browser based application to conduct the reverse auction. An Offeror may submit a series of pricing bids, which descend in price during the specified period of time for the aforementioned reverse auction. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is taking this action in an effort to improve both vendor access and awareness of requests and the agency's ability to gather multiple, competed, real-time bids.All responsible Offerors that respond to this solicitation MUST submit the pricing portion of their bid using the online exchange located at www.FedBid.com. There is no cost to register, review procurement data or make a bid on www.FedBid.com.Offerors that are not currently registered to use www.FedBid.com should proceed to www.FedBid.com to complete their free registration. Offerors that require special considerations or assistance may contact the FedBid Helpdesk at 877-9FEDBID (877-933-3243) or via email at clientservices@fedbid.com. Offerors may not artificially manipulate the price of a transaction on www.FedBid.com by any means. It is unacceptable to place bad faith bids, to use decoys in the www.FedBid.com process or to collude with the intent or effect of hampering the competitive www.FedBid.com process.Should offerors require additional clarification, notify the point of contact or FedBid at 877-9FEDBID (877-933-3243) or clientservices@fedbid.com.Use of FedBid: Buyers and Sellers agree to conduct this transaction through FedBid in compliance with the FedBid Terms of Use. Failure to comply with the below terms and conditions may result in offer being determined as non-responsive. Brand name justification: The IBM P series hardware has been tested, implemented and in NRCs infrastructure for several years. The databases for some of the most critical applications within the agency have run on this hardware. The P series hardware is also part of the Technical Reference Model from Enterprise Architecture. The hardware has been thoroughly tested and applications that have databases running on the hardware rely on it to maintain an NRC Authority to Operate (ATO). Introducing a new series of hardware into the current infrastructure would bring extreme risk to the continuity of services since there would be a need for reconfiguration, testing and modification to the current ATO. In addition, utilizing existing software will help the agency capitalize on our current experience in regards to technical support, maintenance, test, and quality of the P series hardware.
