High-pressure XPS System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is issuing an unrestricted‑competition Request for Quotation (RFQ # 1333ND26QNB030170) for the CHIPS R&D AXPS System. Offerors must submit a complete quotation divided into four distinct, electronically‑delivered volumes: (1) Technical Quotation, demonstrating that the proposed equipment meets or exceeds every minimum requirement in the Statement of Work with explicit citations and, where applicable, manufacturer authorization; (2) Demonstrated Experience, describing up to three comparable contracts or projects; (3) Price Quotation, a firm‑fixed‑price proposal for each CLIN that includes all shipping (FOB Destination), tariffs, and any other charges for foreign‑origin items, with price validity for 90 days; and (4) Terms and Conditions, which will be incorporated into the resulting purchase order. The technical volume must stand alone for evaluation, and no prototypes, demonstration models, used or refurbished instruments will be considered. Evaluation will be based on best value, with technical capability and demonstrated experience weighted more heavily than price. The Government will award a single firm‑fixed‑price purchase order using simplified acquisition procedures under RFO Part 12 and will reserve the right to award without discussions. All quotations must be neatly indexed, page‑numbered, and include required contract/project identifiers, point‑of‑contact information, product/service relevance, total contract value, and performance dates. Failure to address any evaluation factor or to provide evidence of compliance may render the offer unacceptable.
