Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 333517 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulations Overhaul (RFO) Part 12 and FAR Part 16, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products prepared in accordance with RFO Part 12. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) China Lake, CA facilitates a variety of weapons and energetics research, development, testing and evaluation programs in support of Naval operations. To accelerate cost-effective and rapid response methods, NAWCWD is awarding Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) under Machine tools and Equipment and competing requirements through the Lakehurst BPA Tool to the BPA holders within each commodity. Synopsis/Solicitation N6893626Q5152 is being issued as an invitation to small business concerns that are interested in becoming prospective vendors for the Machine Tools and Equipment found in attachment 1. In accordance with RFO Part 19, the Government’s intent is to establish BPAs with Small Businesses; therefore, this requirement is Set Aside for Small Business. The BPA Calls issued will incorporate clauses that are prescribed by the RFO, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Navy and Marine Corps Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NMCARS). Please note that a BPA is not a contract. A BPA is a method for filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies by establishing “charge accounts” with qualified sources of supply. The Government is only obligated to the extent of authorized purchases actually placed under a BPA. All calls must be acknowledged by the selected vendors to be retained on the BPA calling list. This combined synopsis/solicitation will allow for the review of interested companies’ qualifications and result in the award of BPAs. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this combined synopsis/solicitation. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this combined synopsis/solicitation. Prospective vendors are invited to submit their responses to this combined synopsis/solicitation within the next 60 days, as vendors will be added on a rolling basis throughout the lifetime of the BPA commodities program. Once a contractor is issued a BPA there is no need to submit any response to subsequent combined synopsis/solicitation postings. Contractors are cautioned that their BPA may not be renewed or may be cancelled if the contractor is not actively participating in the program by submitting bids in the Lakehurst BPA Tool or consistently have poor performance. The maximum value of each individual purchase under a BPA may not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Payments will be made using Government Purchase Credit (GPC) cards or electronic invoice submission IAW DFARS 252.232-7006 “Wide Area Workflow Instructions (JAN 2023).” Third party payment systems will not be accepted. The Nonmanufacturer rule will apply to all nonmanufacturers in accordance with RFO FAR Part 19.104. A nonmanufacturer means any concern, including a supplier, that provides an end item it did not manufacture, process or produce. The contractor shall supply Machine Equipment and Tools to be delivered Free on Board (FOB) Destination terms to China Lake Applied Manufactured Technology Division (AMTD) located onboard NAWCWD China Lake, CA. It will be specified in the BPA Call. Attachment 1 includes a list of Machine and Tools with NAICS Codes but is not limited to just this list. Note: further requirements may be specified for each separate BPA Call. Delivery times will be specified at the BPA Call level. Interested parties shall provide their Cage Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEID) Numbers for verification of inclusion in the System for Award Management (SAM) along with a capabilities statement. The capabilities statement should include what the contractor’s primary business practice/trade is, and whether the contractor is a manufacturer or a supplier/distributor. Responsibility determinations will also precede issuance of a BPA call and will be conducted in accordance with RFO FAR Part 9.1
