Automated Tool Checkout Sources Sought

The purpose of this amendment is to extend the due date from 12 September 2024 out to 20 September 2024. The solicitation SF 1449 still shows a due date of 12 September 2024, and will be updated in the next revision of this posting, but due to time I am posting it here to the description first for now. 

The 732d Air Mobility Squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson needs a new locker system for their tool inventory. Their desired outcome is to acquire a locker system that both safeguards their tools through the latest advancements in security, but also incorporates the most current technological flexibilities available in the market.

Reference Attachment 1 for specific brand name product specifications that all submitting products, whether the brand name or an equal product, must meet.

The items in Attachment 1 from Meridian Kiosks are strictly provided as examples of everything included in the system, and the Government has no knowledge of the specifics for any component. This is a brand name or equal requirement and if your company chooses to offer a different brand you bear the responsibility for ensuring the product you offer, and all associated components meet the need. The Government will only take the product specifications and capabilities statements received and conduct a verification of the offered system, and associated components, to ensure the needs are met. Therefore, any locker system that is validated to meet the needs shall be considered acceptable and we welcome all interested suppliers in submitting products for
consideration.

The responsibility falls on the vendor submitting the offer to outline each aspect of their offered product and how it is equal to the brand name product if they choose to submit a different brand. The Government reserves the right to consider the quotation as an unresponsive offer if the vendor fails to include this detail in their quotation. The Government will take other submitted brands under consideration but reserves the right for any clarifications and /or discussions necessary to determine if the product equals the Brand Name product after reviewing the requested details.

Finally, all quotes submitted shall include delivery as FOB Destination. The Government will not accept quotations that specify FOB Origin, and quotations that do will be considered unacceptable.
