Fabrication of Injection Molded Totes for DDSP

DLA Distribution intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) SP330014R0017 for the fabrication of injection molded totes that will be used to transport packages on various types of mechanized conveying systems throughout the Eastern Distribution Center (EDC) Building located at DLA Distribution Susquehanna New Cumberland, PA. DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pennsylvania owns the single cavity injection mold for the orange totes. This mold was specifically fabricated to work with the mechanized conveying systems in the EDC and to ensure that future totes would be nestable. The Government will be responsible for the transportation costs associated with the movement of the mold to the contractor's place of manufacture. This requirement will be limited to small business concerns only. The NAICS code and Size Standard are 326199 and 750 employees. The resulting solicitation will: 1) be solicited and negotiated in accordance with FAR part 15, Contracting by Negotiation; and 2) include the provisions and clauses applicable for commercial acquisitions IAW FAR part 12, Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses for the Acquisition of Commercial Items. The Government intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Requirements contract to the offeror proposing the lowest price, and whose past performance, currency and relevancy considered, indicates their ability to perform the contract successfully. The period of performance for the resultant contract will include a base year and four 12mo option periods. It is the Government's intent to award without discussions, therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the contracting officer. It is anticipated that RFP SP330014R0017 will be posted to this site during the week of 5 May 2014. Amendments to the Request for Proposal will also be posted to this site.
