This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 and 13.5 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as request for quotation (RFQ) reference number Randolph 060719. This requirement is a 100% small business set-aside. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible offeror submitting the quote that provides the best value to the government. Award is contingent upon availability of funds. The associated North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 423930; size standard 100 employees. 2. The provisions at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors--Commercial Items, are applicable to this solicitation. Interested parties may submit a written quote in accordance with FAR 52.212-1 and the attached CLIN structure. Oral quotes will not be accepted.

To be eligible to receive an award resulting from this RFQ, contractors must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database, no exceptions.

FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Addendum: Basis for Award: This is a best value, single award acquisition. The Government intends to award one contract to the offeror deemed responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to the RFP's requirements and are judged to represent the lowest price, technically acceptable responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation. While the Government and the Contracting Officer will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process, by its nature, is subjective and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with an offeror (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms for price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. This is a competitive best value acquisition utilizing Lowest Price Technically Acceptable procedures. Offers shall propose on both CLIN 0001 and 0002 on the price schedule. The Government may or may not award CLIN 0002. Only firm fixed price offers will be evaluated. An offer using a sliding price scale or subject to escalation based on any contingency will not be accepted. Quotes determined to be unreasonable or not compatible with the scope of effort or either excessive or insufficient for the effort to be accomplished will not be considered in the and will be ineligible for award. 4. The evaluation process will proceed as follows: (a) Technical Acceptance: By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all the terms, conditions and all other requirements of this solicitation and subsequent contract. The offeror shall self certify that they are capable of conforming to and meeting all the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) to include completetion of the contract not later than 25 SEP 06. All offeror's that meet these requirements will be determined technically acceptable. Any exception taken to the terms, conditions, or requirements or failure to self certify will result in a determination of technical unacceptability; (b) Price: Only price offers submitted by offerors whose technical offers are determined to be technically acceptable will be considered for evaluation. Award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable, responsible offeror. Proposed prices will be evaluated using the price analysis techniques prescribed in FAR 15.404-1(b) to determine price reasonableness. Note: Prospective offerors need to take into consideration when providing a quote for this effort the value of all the scrap metal and material that will be recovered. The attached pricing schedule includes CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002. Each Offeror shall provide an offer for both CLINS or there proposal will be rejected. When ranking prices the Government will consider the lowest price offeror as the offeror that provides the lowest overall cost when combining the total cost of CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 only if the Government decides to award both CLINS. If the Government decides to award only CLIN 0001 then the evaluation of lowest price will be based on CLIN 0001 ONLY. Reasonableness will be determined based on prices submitted by the competition, current market conditions, and comparison to the Government estimate and prior acquisitions, if applicable. Realism will be based on an evaluation of prices to determine if they are compatible with the scope of effort, are not unbalanced, and are neither excessive nor insufficient for the effort to be accomplished. 5. If the lowest priced technically acceptable offer is determined to be reasonable and realistic, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. 6. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest price quote if that lowest priced offer is determined not to be technically acceptable. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. Therefore, offerors are encouraged to submit their most advantageous pricing in their initial response. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. 7.
