All interested quoters may submit a firm fixed-price quotation in accordance with the Statement of Requirements (SoR), included as an attachment to this combined synopsis/solicitation. The Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) Office of Reference Materials (ORM) is responsible for a small-scale paper mill. The small-scale paper mill is a specialized-format production machine that fabricates pilot-scale product from a variety of feedstocks. The feedstocks are materials suspended in water and during the production process the duplex vacuum pump assembly removes the excess water as the product is being formed; this excess water can be a considerable volume (e.g., many tens to hundreds of gallons) depending on the attributes of the feedstock and the desired output product. The performance and specifications of the duplex vacuum pump assembly, (e.g., pumping speed and throughput at operating pressure, resistance to corrosion) are critical to both the daily and long-term operability of the small-scale paper mill. Indeed, if the duplex vacuum pump assembly fails, degrades or does not afford the required performance and specifications in any way, the small-scale paper mill does not function and is inoperable. The MML requires The original installed duplex vacuum pump assembly by Gardner Denver Nash LLC (a subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand), met the requirements and specifications of the small-scale paper mill machine . The reference of “duplex” refers to the custom hardware arrangement whereby two (2) individual identical pumps are configured to mate to the small-scale paper mill as one pumping line assembly referred to as the Duplex Vacuum Pump Assembly for the purpose of this requirement. For the current duplex vacuum pump assembly, two (2) Gardner Denver Nash Model CL201 pumps were affixed in the assembly; in terms of performance, this model is equivalent to two (2) new Gardner Denver Nash Model SX30.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION AND BASIS FOR AWARD The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation that will include the terms and conditions that are set forth herein to the responsible quoter whose quotation is technically acceptable and is determined to represent the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following evaluation criteria: technical capability and price. Technical capability is equal in importance to price. The Government intends to make a single award and reserves the right to make no award as a result of this solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a purchase order without discussions with quoters. Therefore, the quoter's initial quotation should contain the quoter's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any and or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest price quotation; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or negotiate final contract terms with, one or more, but not all, quoters if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following criteria: a) technical capability and b) price. Technical Capability No prototypes, demonstration models, used or refurbished instrumentation will be considered. Evaluation of technical capability will be based on the information provided in the technical quotation and submitted literature. NIST will evaluate whether the quoter has demonstrated that its quoted Duplex Vacuum Pump Assembly meets all minimum technical specifications. Quotations received will first be evaluated from a technical standpoint without regard to quoted costs. Quotations that do not demonstrate the quoter is compliant with all minimum technical specifications defined in the SoR will not be considered further for award. A quoter’s business/pricing quotation will be evaluated only if the quoter’s technical quotation is considered to be technically acceptable. Price The Government will evaluate the quoter’s proposed pricing for reasonableness. Price will not be evaluated for quotations that are determined technically unacceptable under the Technical Capability evaluation factor. ***APPLICABLE PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES*** The full text of a FAR provision or clause may be accessed electronically at http://acquisition.gov/far/index.html The following FAR provisions apply to this acquisition: 52.203-18 Prohibition on Contracting with Entities that Require Certain Internal Confidentiality Agreements or Statements-Representation (JAN 2017) 52.204-7 System for Award Management (OCT 2018) 52.204-16 Commercial and Government Entity Code Reporting (AUG 2020) 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal (AUG 1999) 52.204-17 Ownership or Control of Quoter (AUG 2020) Ownership or Control of Offeror (Aug 2020) (a) Definitions.
