About this file

This is an Amendment (0001) to a federal solicitation for salvage vehicle transport and delivery services for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The amendment extends the solicitation response deadline to 11:59 AM Eastern Time on May 7, 2025, and updates the period of performance dates for line items 0001-5001. The ATF seeks to establish multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for salvage cars and motorcycles to support various training programs at the ATF National Academy in Glynco, GA, including Explosives Training, Post Blast Investigative Techniques, and other specialized training.

The solicitation requires 300 total vehicles (60 per year) and 50 motorcycles (10 per year) over the BPA's life. Contractors must be within 10 miles of the Glynco facility and provide environmentally friendly salvage vehicles that are drained of fluids and free of debris. The award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method and is set aside for small businesses. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit quotes by the revised deadline, including technical approach, past performance information, and pricing details. The BPA will have a base period and four option years, with each period running approximately 12 months.

Specifically, ATF is dedicated to protecting its communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, the illegal use and selling of alcohol and tobacco products, the illegal use and storage of explosives, acts of arson, bombings, and terrorism.

The Government may award without discussions with the offeror; therefore, the offeror is cautioned to examine the Request for Quote (RFQ) in its entirety and to ensure that its Quote is complete, containing all necessary information and all required documentation, in all respects.

Only the lowest priced Quote will be reviewed for technical acceptability. If it’s found to be technically acceptable, the award will be made to that offeror without further evaluation of the other Quotes received. If the Quote is technically unacceptable, then the next lowest priced Quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability until a technically acceptable Quote is found.

Section M Evaluation Factors for Award

EVALUATION CRITERIA

DJA-25-AACD-PR-0041

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

15A00025Q00000048/0001 Page 9 of 10

The Government may award multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements resulting from this request for quote (RFQ) to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the RFQ is the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable

(LPTA).

The lowest price quote who has technically acceptable ratings in Factors 1 & 2, will be eligible for award.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) to be necessary.

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.

“The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This includes options under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this solicitation. Evaluation of options under 52.217-8 will be accomplished by using the prices offered for the last option period, which will be added to the base and other option years to arrive at the total price. Evaluations of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).”

Factor 1: Technical Approach

The Government requires offerors to submit a Technical Approach with their quote in response to the Statement of Work (SOW) in this RFQ. The Technical Approach shall clearly demonstrate the solution meets all the requirements in the SOW. The below chart identifies how the Technical Approach will be evaluated:

Technical Approach

Table 1: Technical Approach - Ratings Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the RFQ.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the

RFQ.

Factor 2: Past Performance

Offerors shall list and describe three (3) recent and relevant contracts/projects performed for the Federal Government that are similar with respect to size, scope, and complexity of the SOW. For the description, the offeror should include Contract Number, Contract point of contact, the Government contracting and/or technical point of contact (POCs) with current phone numbers, e-mail addresses and titles, project dollar value, and a brief narrative regarding the project’s size, scope, and complexity to allow the Government to verify experience and past performance information contained in the quote.

The Government may contact those references during the evaluation. For the purpose of this factor, recent is defined as furniture design and installation services provided and completed within the last three (3) years. Additionally, the Contacting Officer may use other Government sources which may include Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting

15A00025Q00000048/0001 Page 10 of 10

System (CPARS), the Contracting Officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with the service, or any other reasonable basis.

Recency: Recent is defined as contract performance within the past three years. The following ratings will be used for Past

Performance Recency:

Relevancy: Relevancy includes, but is not limited to, the following: Similarity of product/service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, use of key personnel (for services), and extent of subcontracting/teaming. The following ratings will be used for

Past Performance Relevancy:

Table 2: Past Performance – Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on past performance information, which is both relevant and recent, the Government expects the offeror to be capable of successfully fulfilling the Government’s requirement. In situations where the offeror is without a record of relevant and recent past performance and the offeror has affirmatively stated that it possesses no relevant and recent past performance, the offeror’s past performance will be deemed acceptable.”

Unacceptable Based on past performance information, which is both recent and relevant, the Government does not expect the offeror to be capable of successfully performing the Government’s requirement. For offerors who lack relevant and recent past experience, the offeror must provide an affirmative declaration stating as such, and in such situations, an offeror who fails to provide such a declaration may be found to have provided an incomplete offer, which the Government may deem to be non-responsive and ineligible for award.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Government will assess the performance confidence as neutral. Therefore, the neutral offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Factor 3: Price

Price shall be evaluated for reasonableness. The CO will evaluate proposed pricing to ensure it aligns with the requirements in the SOW. The CO may use other techniques based on competition, etc.
