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. Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation RFQ is being issued as a request for quote (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-11. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number is 333993 and the business size standard is 500. REQUESTERS MUST STATE THEIR BUSINESS SIZE ON EACH REQUEST. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See below for services required. The Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP), 5000 S. 13th Street, Leavenworth KS 66048 has a requirement for the following item(s): Modify the existing Flex Pick 1 Labeling Conveyor. ITEM 1: The existing FlexPick 1 Labeling area has the incoming totes filled with unlabeled product enter the labeling area at a height that requires employees to reach down pull and lift the tote to place it on the desktop. The employee then labels all the necessary product, places it back in the tote then lifts the tote and places it on the upper outgoing conveyor. For ergonomic reasons the 12 Flexpick 1 labeling workstations require the incoming tote conveyor to be raised to workstation desktop height allowing the totes to be slid off onto the desktop. The totes will be coming from the output of the Flexpick 1 filling system and the method used to raise the conveyor can in no way interfere with the rate of tote flow from or productivity of the system. The outgoing tote conveyor has to be lowered to accept totes that have been slid off the desktop and placed on gravity fed rollers located at the side of each workstation. The new outgoing tote conveyor has to connect to the original outgoing tote conveyor. The method used to lower the conveyor can in no way interfere with the rate of tote flow from or productivity of the system. The new layout must be in the same area but the conveyor may be extended to allow for height changes. Any relocation of the FlexPick 1 labeling PC's, printers, workstations, lighting, power, power poles, fiber optic network including all parts, materials and labor required to convert the existing conveyor to the new ergonomic layout will be manufactured, supplied and installed by the contractor. All work performed will comply with the National Electric Code and local building codes. The contractor will be able to work during the normal production hours 5:30 a.m. to Midnight on the new layout, but can in no way interfere with production. Access to the facility can be provided during non production hours Midnight to 5:30 a.m. from Sunday thru Thursday and the switch to the new system layout can be performed on a weekend agreed on by CMOP.
