- SPECIFICATIONS-STATEMENT OF WORK--FINAL Applicable Provisions and Clauses I. AUTHORITY & INTRODUCTION: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in 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; quotations are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is being issued using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. This solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-88-1 effective 6/15/2016. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 511210 with a small business size standard of $38.5 Million. This acquisition is being procured under a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Material Measurement Laboratory, Materials Measurement Science Division, Security Technologies Group performs a wide variety of high speed impact tests at rates that vary from a few meters per second to more than 500 m/s and on materials ranging from foam pads to high strength, ballistic-resistant fabrics. The group uses conventional and high speed video to document the response of materials during tests, and to provide quantitative analysis of material motion. To improve the group's capabilities, the group requires Digital Image Correlation (DIC) software that will allow two and three dimensional (3D) measurement of strains in materials under test by analysis of the high speed video. The software must be capable of working with the group's existing high speed video cameras and meet the specifications. II. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall provide 3D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) software (with a one-year warranty}, appropriate calibration grids, and training for NIST personnel on how to use the software as specified in the attached Statement of Work (SOW). III. CONTRACT LINE ITEM BREAK-OUT: Responsible quoters shall provide pricing for the following line items. All software provided by the Contractor (deliverables, warranty, and training) must conform with the requirements specified in the attached SOW. Non-conforming software, deliverables, warranty, and training will not be considered for award. Line Item 0001: 3D DIC Software for Analysis of Impact Tests of Materials. Reference the attached SOW for further details. Line Item 1001: Warranty for 3D DIC Software for Analysis of Impact Tests of Materials. Reference the attached SOW for further details. Line Item 2001: Training for 3D DIC Software for Analysis of Impact Tests of Materials. Reference the attached SOW for further details. IV. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, results in the Lowest Priced and Technically Acceptable quote to the Government. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate quotes: 1. Technical Capability 2.
