INL programs support two of the Department of States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the

United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet the listed goals is to collaborate with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies.

No additional sums shall be payable on account of any escalation in the cost of materials, equipment or labor, or because of the Contractor’s failure to properly estimate or accurately predict these prices or difficulty of achieving the results required by this contract.

SECTION 5

BASIS OF AWARD AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

BASIS OF AWARD

The Government anticipates issuing a Purchase Order to the Vendor whose Quote provides the best value to the Government, price, and other factors considered.

The Government; intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors; reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary; and reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract.

BRAND NAME OR EQUAL/MEET OR EXCEED

This requirement is Brand Name or Equal, per FAR part 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal. The items listed in the RFQ and affiliated appendices are intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive, and are to indicate the quality and characteristics of products that will be satisfactory.

Bids offering “equal” products (including products of the brand name manufacturer other than the one described by brand name) will be considered for award if such products are clearly identified in the bids and are determined by the Government to meet fully the salient characteristics requirements listed in the invitation.

AUTHORIZATIONS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

The seller certifies that it is an authorized distributer of the similar product being sold to the

Department of State and that it has the certification/specialization level required by the manufacturer, to support both the product sale and product pricing, in accordance with applicable manufacturer certification/specialization requirements. Unless otherwise specified, Seller warrants that the products are new and in their original box(es).

New equipment ONLY, NO grey market or refurbished products. Items shall be in original packaging, never used, and not altered in any way. Components of the requested equipment, to include memory, shall be manufacturer-approved and may not be compatible, remanufactured, or refurbished equipment. All items shall be covered by manufacturer’s warranty and procured through a manufacturer approved distribution channel. Sellers shall be able to document their ability to provide items through manufacturer approved distribution channels upon request.

The Seller confirms to have sourced all products submitted in this Quote from manufacturer-approved channels for Federal sales, in accordance with all applicable laws and manufacturer’s current applicable policies at the time of purchase. Seller shall be able to support both the product sale and product pricing, in accordance with applicable manufacturer certification / specialization requirements.

If software is provided or included, Seller shall, upon request, provide Buyer with a copy of the

End User License Agreement. Seller certifies that all software is licensed originally to Buyer as the original licensee authorized to use the software.

EVALUATION FACTORS: LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA).

Procurement Sensitive: Unauthorized disclosure of this information violates the Procurement Integrity Act.

The Government considers it to be in its best interest to award to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE

CLIN CONSIDERATIONS

The vendor must be able to demonstrate that it has the necessary resources to provide on-time delivery at a high level of quality.

Separate awards will not be made for each system component. As such, multiple awards within each line item will not be considered; all items in a given line item will be awarded to only one vendor.

Availability of the equipment, delivery, and warranty under this RFQ will be determinant for technical acceptability.

Acceptable
