Solicitation # 70T05026Q6115N005
This solicitation, numbered 70T05026Q6115N005, is a combined synopsis and request for quotation issued under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for the rental of an existing firing range located in Detroit, Michigan. It is issued on an unrestricted basis under NAICS code 713990 with a small business size standard of $9.0 million, and no set-aside is in effect. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management at the time of submission and must comply with the terms of FAR 52.212-1 and 52.212-2, including all addenda. The acquisition will be awarded using the lowest price technically acceptable method, where technical acceptability and past performance are rated as either acceptable or unacceptable, and price is analyzed only for reasonableness. Quotations must include a completed pricing schedule, acknowledgment of the Statement of Work, recent lead testing results per OSHA requirements, applicable contract clauses, and any subcontractor agreements if applicable. Failure to meet any requirement, including timely submission, adherence to instructions, or completeness of documentation, will result in disqualification. Delivery, acceptance, and FOB point are at the contractor’s facility, and the Government will evaluate quotes starting with the lowest priced submission, proceeding in ascending price order until a technically acceptable and responsible offeror is identified, at which point no further evaluations will be conducted. Past performance will be assessed using public and government-held records, and lack of a verifiable record does not disqualify an offeror—it is considered acceptable. The Government may award without further competition after evaluating only the lowest responsive and eligible quote. All questions must be submitted by August 24, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and responses are due by August 31, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
