1. GENERAL INFORMATION:

A. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.603, 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.

B. The Virginia Army National Guard (VaARNG) is seeking the purchase and delivery of ten (10) tables, three (3) projectors, and three (3) projector screens to Blackstone, Virginia. All quotes shall be free on board (FOB) Destination with the cost of freight/delivery included in the total price. The Government will accept quotes for items to be delivered up to 60 days after receipt of order (ARO) or earlier. The vendor shall ensure that delivery is accomplished between Tuesday through Friday between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time (EST) and that the vehicle making the delivery be equipped with a lift gate to facilitate off-loading. No lift capabilities beyond pallet jacks exist at the delivery location. An exact delivery address will be provided at the time of award.

C. The Government will award a firm-fixed-price contract resulting from this Request for Quote (RFQ), solicitation number W912LQ-23-Q-0033. Multiple awards will not be made. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing). The Product Service Code (PSC) is 6730 (Photographic Projection Equipment). This requirement is an unrestricted solicitation, and only qualified offerors may submit quotes. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2023-04, dated June 2, 2023.

D. The Government will not pay for costs associated with the preparation of a quote in response to this solicitation.

E. Payment will be made through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) application in accordance with DFARS clause 252.232-7006, Wide Area Workflow Payment Instructions.

F. Interested vendors agree to hold the prices in their quote firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for the closing of this RFQ.

G. To be considered for an award, vendors shall have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://sam.gov. Vendors are responsible for ensuring that the representations and certifications in their SAM registration are accurate and current.

H. On behalf of the Government, the Contracting Officer intends to evaluate the quote and make an award without discussions. The Contracting Officer unilaterally reserves the right to determine if it is necessary to conduct discussions.

I. NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency’s Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures. To be timely, the protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. To file a

protest under the NG Agency Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:
