Purchase and Replacement of Fueling Equipment (Brand Name OPW System or Equal)

The United States Department of Agriculture seeks a total‑small‑business, firm‑fixed‑price award to replace two existing fueling pedestals at USMARC, Clay Center, NE, with an upgraded OPW (or equivalent) system. The solicitation (RFQ 1232SA26Q0270) requires a one‑time replacement of hardware and software, including an OPW FSC‑3000 Fuel Site Controller (or equivalent), two PV200 Island Card Readers with 48‑pedestal capability (or equivalent), and installation of Phoenix SQL Lite software on a local computer. All deliverables must be stand‑alone (no annual fees or cloud‑based components) and shipped within 90 days of award. Offerors must submit a complete SF 1449 pricing package covering every line item, a detailed schedule, and a technical approach that demonstrates compliance with all salient characteristics of the brand‑name product or an “equal” item, supported by illustrations, drawings, or a web reference; a simple statement of compliance is not acceptable. The award will be made to the technically best‑valued offeror, not necessarily the lowest price, after evaluating technical acceptability (meeting or exceeding all salient characteristics and clear brand/make/model identification), price fairness (FAR 12.204), and past performance (acceptable or neutral). Although the original solicitation required a mandatory site visit, an amendment dated 07‑Apr‑26 changed this to an optional, “available” visit; however, attendance may still be considered in the evaluation. The solicitation is set aside for small businesses (NAICS 237120, size standard $45 M) and all quotations must be received by 17:00 hours on 15‑Apr‑26.
