Natural Resources and Airfield Tree Trimming

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION This is a combined synopsis/solicitation (“synopsitation” hereafter), which is expected to result in award of a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for commercial items, i.e. natural resource management services, including tree removal, and Airfield tree trimming as described under the paragraph below titled “Requirements.” The synopsitation is prepared in accordance with the format in the 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 requirement is conducted as a commercial item procurement using simplified acquisition proceedures, FAR Part 13. An award, if any, will be made to the responsible offeror(s) who submits a proposal that (1) conforms to the requirements of the synopsitation; (2) that receives a rating of “Acceptable” on the Technical factor; and (3) that submits the proposal with the lowest total evaluated price (TEP) (and next lowest TEP(s) if more than one BPA is awarded), provided that the TEP(s) is/are not unbalanced and is/are fair and reasonable.

Proposal evaluation does not permit tradeoffs between price and non-price factors. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions or make no award at all depending upon (1) the quality of proposals received and (2) the price fair and reasonableness of proposals received.
