a. The small‑business offeror must demonstrate relevant past performance. This past performance may be based on the offeror’s own prior delivery, installation, or training experience with the same or similar equipment, OR from documented past performance performed in direct partnership with the OEM for the same manufacturer of the products being offered. If the offeror has relevant past performance with the OEM—whether involving the brand name model or a closely related model—the Government will consider that information. Additionally, past performance may be demonstrated through the use of a partnership or subcontract method, where the partner/subcontractor possesses relevant past performance. See the revised Salient Characteristics, section 4.c, Past Performance, for more details.

5. If supplier or key-subcontractor past performance is permitted, should the quotation include a teaming letter or letter of commitment identifying the proposed installation and training provider?

a. Quotes should include enough information to show the offeror meets all technical requirements as stated in; the Submission Requirements section of the Salient Characteristics, and clause FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors.

FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL

SERVICES (RFO DEVIATION MAR 2026).

(a) Evaluation factors. 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. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers in this order:

All evaluation factors are considered equally important, and none carry more weight than the others. In accordance with FAR part 12.203(c)(2), the Government will make an award based on a comparative analysis of –

- Technical Capability —such as technical data sheets, brochures, or other substantiating materials—that clearly demonstrate the offered items meet all required salient characteristics such as technical data sheets, cut sheets, or brochures—demonstrating that the offered item meets the salient characteristics listed in this solicitation.

- Manufacturer Authorization - current and valid letter from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) confirming the contractor's authorization to sell, distribute, and/or provide warranty and maintenance support for that printer.

- Past Performance – The offeror’s record of relevant, recent performance.

- Delivery – The offeror’s ability to meet delivery schedules and any associated logistics requirements.

- Price.

(b) Options (if applicable). 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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

The Offeror may claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C.

5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

(1) It __ is __ is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that—I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 __ a full exemption, or __ partial or no exemption [Offeror must select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then—

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229- 12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the IRS as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction.

This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts.
