Update 11/18/2024:

See answers to questions received.

Update 11/8/2024:

Please note – The PWS has been updated to correct an error in the Sect 8 Performance Matrix.  The matrix has been corrected to state “Municipal waste shall be picked up on a bi-weekly basis”.

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Requirements (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.

The solicitation number for this requirement is 75D30125Q00045 and is hereby issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) using FAR Subpart 13.1 Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract for municipal waste and recycling disposal services at the CDC National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH) Pittsburgh Bruceton Research Center as detailed in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). This contract will have a period of performance of one base year and four one-year option periods as follows,

Base Period:                January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025

Option Period One:     January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026

Option Period Two:    January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2027

Option Period Three: January 1, 2028, to December 31, 2028

Option Period Four:    January 1, 2029, to December 31, 2029

Offerors shall submit a technical proposal, not to exceed four pages, that demonstrates their ability to meet all requirements identified in the PWS.  If teaming/subcontracting arrangements are anticipated to meet the requirement to be licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide waste disposal services (PWS 10.1), the proposal shall identify the partner/subcontractor firm and provide licensing information for that firm. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its facilities, capabilities, and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal.

The offeror’s price proposal shall include pricing for each element identified in the attached pricing table for the base year and all option years.  Failure to price all elements may make the proposal ineligible for award.  The Government will evaluate offerors’ proposed price by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Each option period will be evaluated as shown above for the base period with the price analysis conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a). As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (FAR Clauses 52.217-8 – Option to Extend Services) by adding ½ of the Offeror’s final option period prices to the Offeror’s total price. Offerors are required only to price the base, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential on-half year extension of services period.

The quote format is at the discretion of the offeror.  Specific place of performance information is provided in the PWS.

It is the offeror's responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. Clauses and provisions may be accessed via the Internet at website http://acquisition.gov.

This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2024-07 (Sep 30, 2024).

This acquisition is set aside for Small Business under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 562211 and small business size standard of $47 million.  A Firm-Fixed Price purchase order will be issued in writing to the successful offeror. To be eligible to receive an award resulting from this solicitation, contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management. To register apply via the Internet at http://www.sam.gov.

The government anticipates selecting the best- suited offeror from initial responses, without engaging in exchanges with offerors. Offerors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and price in response to this RFP.

Once the government determines the offeror that is the best-suited (i.e., the apparent successful contractor), the government reserves the right to communicate with only that offeror to address any remaining issues, if necessary, and finalize a purchase order with that offeror.  These issues may include technical and price.  If the parties cannot successfully address any remaining issues, the Government reserves the right to communicate with the next best-suited offeror based on the original analysis.

Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror whose proposal demonstrates the ability to perform the tasks listed in Section 4 of the PWS and meet the licensing requirements listed in Sect 10 of the PWS.

No telephonic quotes will be processed. All responses must be received no later than 2:00pm Eastern Standard Time on Dec 2, 2024.  Any questions must be received no later than 2:00pm Eastern Standard Time on Nov 15, 2024.  Please send any questions and quotes to Joseph Butkus at jbutkus@cdc.gov.
