STRAINER, SEDIMENT

This is a large purchase for NSN 4730-01-392-8698. Specifications, drawings or standards are not available from the Government. This acquisition is for supplies for which the Government does not possess complete, unrestrictive technical data; therefore, the Government intends to solicit and contract with only offers based on approved sources under the authority of 10 USC 2304 (c) 1. Current approved manufacturer is CLEVELAND GEAR COMPANY, INC. (59958) P/N 0803DH-S0801211. This solicitation opens on 3/16/12 and closes 4/16/12. This requirement is for a quantity of 10 each. While price may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final award decision will be based on combination of price, delivery, past performance and other evaluation factors as described in the solicitation. The proposed contract is unrestricted. Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services. However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice. The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line Reverse Auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. During the course of the on-line auction, offerors' proposed prices will be publicly disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having access to the on-line auction. This public disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government), and only generic identifiers will be used publicly for each offeror's proposed pricing (e.g., "Offeror A"). By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the Reverse Auction and that their prices may be publicly disclosed, including to other offerors, during the Reverse Auction. An offeror's final auction price will be considered its final proposal revision. No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the Reverse Auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with FAR 15.307.
