Page 17 of 17 Page 17 of 17 COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION The Miami VA Medical Center located at 1201 NW 16TH Street, Miami, FL 33125-1693 has a requirement to provide service which includes disposal, and transportation of chemical waste as specified by the requestor located at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Miami, FL. There will be a one-year base period and four-year option periods. The attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) shall be adhered to. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation, Request for Quotation (RFQ), for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and size standards in millions of dollars are 562910 and $20.5 Million, respectively. FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items is applicable to this procurement. This requirement will be awarded to a responsible contractor whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, considering price and technical factors, with technical and past performance factors more important than price. The evaluation of offers received in response to the solicitation will use a tiered or cascading order of precedence. Tiered evaluation of offers, also known as cascading evaluation of offers, is a procedure used in negotiated acquisitions when market research is inconclusive for justifying limiting competition to small business concerns or sub-categories of small business concerns. The contracting officer (1) Solicits offers from small business concerns that will be evaluated in the following tier order: (a) service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB); (b) veteran-owned small business (VOSB); (c) all other small business concerns; (2) If an award or a sufficient number of awards cannot be made at the first tier, evaluation of offers will proceed at the next lower tier until an award, or a sufficient number of awards can be made. Once the Government determines there is/are a contractor(s) that can provide a product/service that meet(s) the requirements of this request for quote, the Government reserves the right to communicate with only those contractors quoting the best-suited product/service to address any remaining issues. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Evaluation factors will be considered in descending order of importance: Technical Capability: Provide technical performance plan Past Performance: Prospective contractors may provide a list of three business references for which the contractor performed the same or similar scope as required in the performance work statement. The reference information shall include: name of business; name and title of point of contact; brief description of services performed; and date services performed.
