UCF SECTION L - SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE PORTION EQUAL                                                           

This solicitation is for the non-set-aside portion.  A portion of this acquisition has been set-aside for small business concerns in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-7, Notice of Partial Small Business Set-Aside.  The item, quantities, destinations and delivery schedule of the portion set-aside for small business concerns are identical to those applicable to the non-set-aside portion shown in this solicitation.  Delivery date of the set-aside quantities will be established to allow the same production lead time as that allowed for delivery of the non-set-aside quantities.  Incremental deliveries of the set-aside quantities will be made at the same rate as the non-set-aside quantities.

The solicitation will be available in FEDBIZOPPS on its issue date of February 13, 2017.

This is a sole source item, per FAR 6.302-1.  However, responsible sources may submit their capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered.

Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services.  However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.

The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line Reverse Auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation.  During the course of the on-line auction, offerors' proposed prices will be publicly disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having access to the on-line auction.  This public disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government), and only generic identifiers will be used publicly for each offeror's proposed pricing (e.g., "Offeror A").  By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the Reverse Auction and that their prices may be publicly disclosed, including to other offerors, during the Reverse Auction.  An offeror's final auction price will be considered its final proposal revision.

No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the Reverse Auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with FAR 15.307.  All offers shall be in the English language and in U.S. dollars.
