This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation is Request for Quote (RFQ) number HSFEEM-11-Q-0027. Provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-43 are incorporated. It is the contractor's responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. The clauses may be accessed in full text at these addresses: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/. The NAICS code is 334519, with a small business size of 500 employees. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for Small Business Concerns. All qualified Small Business Concern vendors that are able to provide the Brand Name Only Teletrix SD418 Alarming Dosimeter Package, are encouraged to submit a quote. THIS IS A BRAND NAME ONLY REQUIREMENT. All products and support shall be provided NEW from the original manufacturer, Teletrix Corporation. Used products, refurbished products, or products through third party shall not be accepted. No other product from any other manufacturer shall be acceptable. Warranty: Standard Commercial Warranty shall be as specified. Installation is not required. The rationale for Brand Name Only stems from the requirement of CDP to continue to support SD418s and SP418 Probe Paks previously acquired by the CDP. Existing configurations in CDP training require like instrumentation to supplement existing stocks. If, in fact, other manufacturers provided like instrumentation, introducing their products into the courses listed herein is not a viable option, because of the limited amount of time for instruction on instrument operation, learning and understanding display screens, teaching instrument abilities and limitations, and then applying the knowledge by using the instrument in a training situation. In addition, the Government would incur a substantial duplication of cost to accept other manufacturers' items that is not expected to be recovered through a competition.
