The response date is estimated. Note: Copies of this solicitation will only be available via the World Wide Web. Hard copies of this solicitation are not available. Consolidation/Bundling: Although this solicitation consolidates multiple

requirements previously procured under separate, smaller contracts into a single solicitation, it is not subject to consolidation or bundling on the basis that each NSN is evaluated on an “all or none” basis per CLIN. This solicitation will include the 'All or None' provision and applies to the NSN’s entirety, with each individual NSN being considered a CLIN. When evaluating each CLIN independently for award on an 'All or None’ basis, the contractor may quote on one, multiple, or all NSNs. This allows for the possibility of separate awards to different contractors per NSN. The 'All or None’ by CLIN evaluation methodology ensures that small businesses are not precluded from participating. Since the evaluation of each NSN could possibly result in separate contracts, the conditions for consolidation/bundling do not apply. Note: The

Contracting Officer may utilize on-line Reverse Auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. During the on-line auction, offerors' proposed prices will be publicly disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having access to the on-line auction. This public disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government), and only generic identifiers will be used publicly for each offeror's proposed

pricing (e.g., "Offeror A"). Samantha Simms to this opportunity.
