This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items or service prepared in accordance with FAR Part 12 using the publicizing requirements of FAR Part 5. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

Synopsis/Solicitation N0017826Q6776 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The provisions and clauses incorporated in this solicitation are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement as of the date of issuance and are included in the attached SF 1449.

For commercial acquisitions using simplified procedures under FAR Part 12, Buy American applies unless the value exceeds the applicable Trade Agreements threshold, in which case Trade Agreements apply – except where an exception applies.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to procure products/service manufactured by Freedom USA Inc. DBA AVADirect Custom Computers. See the attached Requirements List, as applicable. 

AVADirect Custom Computers is located in Twinsburg, OH.

Extensive research of different systems and discussions with multiple vendors for several makes and models identified that the AVADirect hardware is the only product that could meet the specific performance parameters, size and compatibility. Proprietary rights limit competition. Selection of an alternate brand would cause the Government to incur additional time, estimated at 480 Direct Productive Person Hours 2 (DPPH), to integrate and test an alternate computer can support the required CEM software and

process the data correctly, which AVADirect computers have already proven.

All costs associated with this requirement must be included in the quoted price. This includes shipping and freight to Dahlgren, VA 22448-5114 as well as any tariff or duty charges. No additional costs may be added after award. Where applicable, DFARS 252.225-7013, Duty-Free Entry, will be incorporated. The Government will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and the order will be issued on a firm fixed-price basis.

All responsible offerors shall submit a quotation in response to this solicitation. By submission of a quotation, the offeror represents compliance with the applicable representations and certifications, which are incorporated by reference and completed in the System for Award Management (SAM), as applicable. Submission of a quotation shall constitute the offeror’s unconditional agreement to the terms and conditions of this solicitation. The offeror shall provide documentation from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) confirming the offeror is an authorized reseller or distributor of the brand-name item(s) quoted. Quotations submitted without such documentation may not be considered for award. Quotations that take exception to the terms and conditions of this solicitation may be rejected.

Offerors are encouraged to submit published pricing, historical pricing data, or other information to support the Government’s price analysis and determination of fair and reasonable pricing.  Quotes will only be accepted from authorized re-sellers who have provided a Letter of Authorization.  Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis.

In order to be eligible for award, firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).  Offerors may obtain information on registration in SAM by calling 866-606-8220, or via the Internet at https://www.sam.gov.
