The Telewave ANT150D series consists of single, dual, and 4-element di pole array antennas with a precision phasing harness for opt imum per formance.

The horizontal pattern is field-adjustable for any current or future cov er age requirements. The wide bandwidth and high efficiency of these antennas make them ideal for applications including trunking, business, public safety, and amateur radio.

Each dipole element is constructed with 6061-T6 aluminum, and welded at the base for maximum strength.

Each element is also completely sealed with our high-tech Txylan™ coating, which resists water and ice buildup, and provides exceptional protection from corrosive gases, UV radiation, salt spray, acid rain and windblown abrasives. The phasing harness is fully sealed by Telewave’s Millenium Seal™ technology.

All components are at DC ground potential for lightning protection.

Each dipole element includes a heavy-duty custom clamp set for mounting to a 1.5”-2.5” diameter galvanized steel support pipe or tower leg.

Up to 15 degrees of electrical uptilt or downtilt may be specified for D3 or D6-9 models. Desired tilt angle must be included with the order, and consultation with our antenna engineering staff is requested.

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

Offers will be evaluated based on price and the factors set forth in paragraph (a).

The evaluation will consider the Non-Price Technical Solution (Expertise, Experience, Qualifications and Past Performance) to be significantly more important than price. However, as quotes are determined to be more equal in the non-price evaluation factor, price becomes more important and may become the determining factor for award. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all vendors are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, Non-Price Technical Solutions, price could become the factor in determining which vendor will receive the award.

The Government intends to evaluate the quotes and award a purchase order based on the Offeror’s initial quote; therefore, the Offeror’s initial quote should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a Non- Price Technical Solution and price standpoint.

The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order depending on the quality of the quote(s) submitted and the availability of funds. Furthermore, the Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities or omissions in quotes received.

The Government may make award to other than the lowest-priced Offeror or the Offeror with the highest technical rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government. The Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve only slightly superior performance capability.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Paragraph (a) is hereby completed as follows: Evaluation will be based on the following:

1. Expertise, Experience, and Qualifications. The experience and qualifications of personnel proposed to work on the contract shall be evaluated to determine their ability to perform proposed work. Provide a description of personnel’s experience and competencies relating to the Skills and Competencies section of the Statement of Work.

2. Past Performance – quote shall include 2 (two) references for similar services within the past 5 years including a name, phone number, and email address. The government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the offeror, the agencies knowledge of contractor performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases, and past performance will be based on responsiveness, quality of services performed and customer service.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance.

3. Price.

The government will evaluate the price quote for completeness and reasonableness in relation to the RFQ requirements.

The Government intends to award a best value, single firm fixed-price purchase order on an all or none basis with payment terms of Net 30.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
