Offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable.

Evaluation Factors:

The Government will issue an order resulting from this request for quotation to the responsible offeror whose quotation results in the best value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotations:

Technical Evaluation Factors:

Factor 1--TECHNICAL APPROACH and CAPABILITY. The quotation will be evaluated on how the offeror intends to organize, staff and manage the contract and the means that will be used to accomplish the contract requirements. The degree to which the quotation demonstrates an understanding of the requirements will be evaluated, as well as the offeror's planned management of consultants and subcontractors, if applicable.

Factor 2--PAST PERFORMANCE. The offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, effective management of subcontractors, cost management, level of communication between the contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction.

Offeror shall provide at least three (3) past performance references. Provide name, address, phone number, and name of the project.

If a quoter has no relevant past performance, the quoter must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance history. Offerors who fail to either provide past performance information or affirmatively state that they have none, may be considered as non-compliant to the solicitation.

Factor 3 - COST/PRICE. The proposed prices/costs will be evaluated. The cost evaluation will determine whether the proposed costs are realistic, complete, and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements. Proposed costs must be entirely compatible with the technical approach.

Price being significantly more important than Technical and past performance

Project Lead: To be provided at time of award Invoice Approver: To be provided at time of award

CONTRACTORS INVOICE

INVOICES MUST BE SUBMITTED MONTHLY IN ARREARS

Per NAM 1330-52.232-71 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS (FEB 2023) The Contractor must submit payment requests electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System (IPP). The Contractor must use the IPP website to register, access, and submit payment requests. The IPP website address is https://www.ipp.gov.

"Payment request" means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment to the Contractor. To be considered proper, invoices must be prepared in accordance with, and contain all elements specified in, the contract payment clause (e.g., FAR 52.212-4(g), FAR 52.232-25(a)(3), FAR 52.232-26(a)(2), FAR 52.232-27(a)(2)). All invoices are to be submitted in arrears per 31 U.S.C. § 3324.

Advance payments are prohibited by 31 U.S.C. § 3324, which provides that, except as provided by a specific appropriation or other law, “a payment under a contract to provide a service or deliver an article for the United States Government may not be more than the value of the service already provided or the article already delivered.” The primary purpose of 31 U.S.C. § 3324 is to protect the Government against the risk of nonperformance (or refusal to refund moneys) by the contractor after receipt of payment. See 22 Comp. Gen. 834, 835 (1946). In its simplest terms, the statute prohibits the Government from paying for goods before they have been received or for services before they have been rendered.

The Contractor must include the following documents as attachments to payment requests submitted through the IPP:None If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to submit payment requests through the IPP due to a threat to national security; a matter of unusual or compelling urgency; or because the political, financial, or communications infrastructure of a foreign country does not support access to the IPP, the Contractor must request an exception in writing. Contact the Contracting Officer for more information about requesting an exception. (End of Clause) https://www.ipp.gov/
