This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. This combined synopsis/solicitation is being issued as a request for proposal (RFP). DLA Contracting Services Office - Columbus Division 3 (DCSO-C3) intends to award and administer an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a contract minimum of $3,000,000 and a contract maximum of up to $160,000,000 for a five (5)-year period. The government reserves the right to award less than the maximum dollar value.
This is an acquisition of commercial items using FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services) and FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation). This acquisition is for Vacuum-Grade Ferroniobium. All Ferroniobium to be delivered under any resulting contract shall have a form and packaging conducive to long-term storage per the Statement of Work (SOW). This is for an IDIQ utilizing fixed pricing for the initial Delivery Order and negotiated pricing for each subsequent Delivery Order based on Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) terms over the 5-year ordering period.
This is the second time soliciting this requirement due to changes in the Statement of Work (Canceled Sol number: SP8000-25-R-0010). Current Solicitation number: SP8000-26-R-0001.
