Medical Physics Support

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation, which is expected to result in the award of a five (5) year Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for Medical Physics Support, as described under the requirements section of this solicitation and the attachment titled "Performance Work Statement."  The solicitation is prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This will be a competitive FAR Part 13 acquisition using simplified acquisition procedures and FAR subpar 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. This acquisition is not subject to FAR 15.3 source selection procedures.  Accordingly, the Government is not obligated to determine a competitive range, conduct discussions with all or any Offerors, solicit final quote revisions, or use other techniques associated with FAR 15.3. 

This solicitation incorporates FAR provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) FAC 2020-04, effective 1 January 2020; Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Publication Notice (DPN) 20200114, effective 14 January 2020; and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) Air Force Acquisition Circular (AFAC) 2019-1001, effective 1 October 2020.

An award, if any, will be made to the responsible Vendor who submits a quote that:

(1) Conforms to the requirements of the solicitation;

 (2) Receives a rating of “Meets” on Technical Capability by meeting the requirements contained in the Performance Work Statement; and

 (3) Submits the quote with the lowest total evaluated price (TEP), provided that the TEP is not unbalanced and is determined to be fair and reasonable.

Note: Offerors shall complete the price list spreadsheet attached to the solicitation and return as part of the proposal.

To be considered for award, a vendor must meet all minimum required items in the Performance Work Statement (attached). The Government intends to evaluate the quotes and award a contract without interchanges with vendors. Therefore, the vendor’s initial quote should contain the vendor’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges with one, some, none, or all vendors, if the evaluation team later determines them to be necessary.  Submittal of quotes in response to this solicitation constitutes agreement by the Offeror of all terms & conditions contained herein, which will also be the terms & conditions of any resulting contract.  It is the Offerors responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. Clauses and provisions in full text may be accessed via the Internet at website acquisition.gov.  The Government reserves the right to award without interchanges or make no award at all depending upon the quality of quotes received and whether quotes received can be determined fair and reasonable.
