Hobart F1000+ Flight Type Dishwasher

This combined synopsis/solicitation is for a commercial item 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 (formal) solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as solicitation number FA7000-16-T-0155, in accordance with FAR Parts 12 & 13. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-89, effective 15 Aug 2016. The North American Industry Classification System Code [NAICS] is 333318 and the business size standard of 1,000 employees. The acquisition is a 100% SB set-aside. All responsible sources may submit a quote, which if received timely, will be considered by the 10th Contracting Squadron, USAF Academy (USAFA). The government bares no legal liability for bid cost associated with this request for quote. Vendors should not submit a quote unless they are willing to absorb all cost associated with submitting a quote. Quotes submitted with used, reconditioned, refurbished, gray market, or liquidated stock will not be considered for award. Please read and comply with all requirements for submitting a quote under the solicitation instructions and the addenda to FAR 52.212-1. Failure to comply with all instructions contained within this synopsis/solicitation could result in the quote being ineligible for award. It is the offeror's responsibility to ensure their quote meets all the requirements identified herein. It is the USAF Academy's preference/intent is to acquire only domestic end products per the Buy American Act, except as provided in FAR 25.103. Foreign offers will be evaluated per DFARS 225.502 when comparing domestic and foreign offers. This requirement is for commercial off-the-shelf items, therefore; the manufacturing country of origin will determine if the offer is foreign or domestic. Note: Brand Name Only Justification The Hobart Model FT1000+ ENERGY (Brand Name) is required to meet our operational demands at the Mitchell Hall Cadet Dining Facility. There is currently two other Hobart FT-900s ENERGY dishwashers located in this facility. The combined requirement of three machines will wash 65,000 pieces per day, 350 days per year and will operate from 0600-2200 daily. All existing machines on base are Hobart flight types. The staff is familiar with the engineering, design, and function. A change in brand would requires all of this knowledge to be relearned. To maintain this high demand, the combined processes and procedures for pre, during and post operation must be seamless and result in minimal operational differences. Purchasing a Hobart machine will meet this requirement. With an average life expectancy of 10 years, a manufacturer provided 18 month warranty on defective parts and workmanship is required to facilitate minimal maintenance costs in the first 18 months of initial operation. Purchasing the same model of equipment will allow the Government to capitalize on existing employee training and operational continuity that will allow a cohesive cleaning and sanitizing operation. The Hobart machine also has the same electrical, plumbing, ventilation and operating requirements as the existing equipment. This will allow the cross utilization of parts and accessories among each Hobart dishwasher unit. Hobart is the current brand in use and was the equipment selected by Army Corps of Engineers for this facility during the latest kitchen renovation. This brand is essential to keep training, operating and maintenance procedures standardized for the dozens of employees who will safely operate and maintain all ware-washing equipment. From a maintenance standpoint, bench stocking routine maintenance parts for one brand of equipment will be more cost effective and operationally efficient than stocking for two or three different machines. The Hobart FT-900s currently in use have historically maintained a high "in-use" operations rate of 97% and cost less than $500 per year in repair and part replacement costs. Quotes may be provided for the Hobart F1000+ Energy as a brand name product or for a proposed "or equal" piece of equipment fulfilling all the below specifications. If an offeror believes they have an equal product which meets all the features and functionality of the items listed above, they may submit a quote for that product. It will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If it is determined by the Government to be an equal product it will be evaluated along with all other technically acceptable offers. If it is determined by the Government not to be an equal product, the offer will not be considered for award. Buy American Act and certification of compliance is required and must be submitted with quote (see DFARS clause 252.225-7001). This is a Brand Name requirement only for an Hobart Dishwasher F1000+ Energy with the following salient characteristics to include installation as shown below: Hobart FT1000+ Energy Dishwasher Warranty 18 months Two hour response time for the first 60 days if dishwasher operation fails Automated soil removal system Blower dryer with 2 H.P (horse power) blower motor Single point vent connection Booster tank heater, electric Standard conveyor for Flight Type dishwasher Hinged doors Vent Hood Standard piping Variable speed conveyor Start and stop switches at both ends of machine Insulated hinged doors Minimum 30 - inches wide conveyor Must match up to existing scraping table height load end Microprocessor controls 3.
