Deliveries will begin when the Contracting Officer issues a signed Award Document to the Vendor. The Government reserves the right to make single or multiple awards based on Best Value. The Government will award to the responsible quoter(s) whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, is most advantageous to the Government based on Best Value. Awards will be issued with a Purchase Card or through a Purchase Order, SF-1449.
All future information about this solicitation, including solicitation amendments and awards, will be distributed through the Government Point of Entry above. Interested parties are responsible for monitoring this site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this solicitation. Refer to the posted solicitation for due date regarding receipt of quotes (page #1, block #8). Offers must be sent electronically to the above mentioned contact on or before the due date specified within the solicitation. The only format in which questions will be answered is by e-mail (no phone calls please). Faith Based and Community Based Organizations have the right to submit quotes equally with other organizations for contracts for which they are eligible.
Short delays happen, that's why Federal Acquisition Clause 52.212-4 is incorporated into every award.
52.212-4(f) defines acceptable delays, but more importantly in our case, it states that the Contractor is responsible for notification of delays and follow up on those delays. We shouldn't have to reach out and ask where a shipment is, the vendor should be notifying us "setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith."
Every Pre-solicitation, and Solicitation that we post has a letter that explicitly lists our evaluating factors as Price, Technically Acceptable, and Past Performance.
