52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(MAR 2023)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees, or 150 employees for information technology value-added resellers under NAICS code 541519, if the acquisition--

(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) 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.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract 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 to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to--GSA Federal Supply Service Specifications Section, Suite 8100, 470 East L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, DC 20407, Telephone (202) 619-8925, Facsimile (202) 619-8978.

The Offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "Unique Entity Identifier" followed by the unique entity identifier that identifies the Offeror's name and address. The Offeror also shall enter its Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator, if applicable. The EFT indicator is a four-character suffix to the unique entity identifier. The suffix is assigned at the discretion of the Offeror to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see FAR subpart 32.11) for the same entity. If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

The Government will award a commercial Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract as a result of this solicitation and in accordance with the policies and procedures of FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation and FAR Subpart 16.5, Indefinite-Delivery Contracts. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate proposals: Technical and Price. The Government will utilize a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in accordance with FAR 15 and FAR Subpart 16.5.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions. The establishment of a competitive range is not anticipated. Accordingly, each offeror should submit its most favorable terms from a technical and price standpoint.

However, the Government reserves the right to establish a competitive range and conduct discussions if later determined by the PCO to be necessary. The Government reserves the right to award a firm fixed price award to other than the lowest priced offeror; award a firm, fixed-priced contract without discussions; or award a firm, fixed-priced contract after discussions, whichever is in the best interest of the Government.

The Government will conduct a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection. To determine LPTA, the Government will place all proposals in order of lowest total price to highest total price. Award will be made to the lowest priced proposal found to be Acceptable with respect to Technical and Price. The selection of a proposal for award will be conducted in two phases:

Phase I will consist of the evaluation of Factor I – Technical. If the offeror receives a rating of “Acceptable” for Factor I – Technical, the offeror will proceed to Phase II of the evaluation (i.e., evaluation of Factor II – Price). If the offeror receives a rating of “Unacceptable” for Factor I – Technical, the offeror will be considered un-awardable and will not be further evaluated. Thereafter, the next lowest total price proposal will be evaluated for acceptability in accordance with the evaluation criteria established in the solicitation. The evaluation process will continue (in order of price from lowest to highest) until a proposal is evaluated to have an overall Factor I: Technical rated “Acceptable”.

Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability. Selection of a vendor for award will be based on two parts, as follows:

Technical Acceptability (Acceptable/Unacceptable) Price

In order to be considered awardable, proposals must receive an overall rating of ‘Acceptable’ for the non-price proposal.

Non-Price Proposal Evaluation Criteria:

The Non-Price proposal is comprised of the following Factors: Factor I – Technical Acceptability

1. Factor I - Technical Acceptability

An acceptable proposal must be able to demonstrate that it possesses the required certification from the manufacturer to resell the brand name supplies as identified in the PWS. If it does not successfully demonstrate that it has the certification, it is ineligible for award.

Factor I will be evaluated based on Acceptable or Unacceptable basis IAW Table 1 below.

Table 1 –Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Table Technical Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Offeror clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offeror does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

NOTE: A rating of “Unacceptable” for Factor I means that the offeror’s proposal is not awardable and is not susceptible to correction without what would be tantamount to the submission of an entirely new proposal.

2. Factor II- Small Business Subcontracting Plan (for other-than-small-businesses only)

This is not an evaluation factor.

The Small Business Subcontracting Plan requirement is mandatory for award to a large business. Each large business offeror’s Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be reviewed in accordance with FAR clause 52.219-9 Alt II (Deviation), Small Business Subcontracting Plan. The plan will be reviewed for acceptability. The apparently successful offeror shall negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan with the contracting officer prior to award.

Failure to negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan will make the offeror ineligible for award. Negotiation of the small business subcontracting plan is not considered discussions and will only occur with the apparent successful offeror. The plan will be incorporated into any resultant contract(s).

Price Proposal Evaluation Criteria:

The Price proposal is comprised of Factor II – Price.

Factor III – Price:

The Government will evaluate price proposals in accordance with FAR 15.404, Proposal Analysis. The Government will combine all CLINs’ prices in determining the price of the proposal. The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the offeror to support the reasonableness of the prices proposed. The method of price evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Written Notice

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