This procurement is strictly limited to the brand-name part from VAC-CON, Inc., with no substitutions, equivalents, refurbished, or aftermarket alternatives permitted, as the item is proprietary and essential for seamless compatibility with the vehicle’s existing systems. The solicitation, issued as a Request for Quote under the commercial item procedures of FAR 12.201-1, relies on statutory authority under 41 U.S.C. 1901 to justify the brand-name restriction. All quotations must be submitted electronically by 1:00 PM Eastern Time on June 25, 2026, to the designated email addresses, and must include the vendor’s Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, lead time, and a firm-fixed price covering the part and all shipping charges under FOB Destination terms. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest evaluated price to a responsible offeror who fully meets the mandatory technical pass/fail criteria, which require proof of authorized distributor status through verifiable OEM documentation and confirmation that the part is brand-new, fully assembled, and directly traceable to VAC-CON manufacturing. The item must be professionally packaged, include OEM warranty documentation and a packing list with part and serial numbers, and be labeled with a unique item identifier compliant with MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-129. Delivery is required at Joint Base Charleston by August 25, 2026, with payment processed electronically through Wide Area Workflow using specified DoDAACs. Contractors must ensure full compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses covering cybersecurity, prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, whistleblower rights, electronic submissions, and the use of the System for Award Management, while also certifying that the part is not remanufactured, refurbished, or aftermarket. The acquisition carries no set-aside and is evaluated solely on price after technical acceptability is confirmed.
