Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available.

(End of Addendum to 52.212-1)

EVALUATION OF QUOTATION OR OFFERS

The Government intends to award one purchase order as a result of this Request for Quote to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements and will be most advantageous to the Government, price, technical capability of the items offered to meet the Government requirement, and past performance considered.

The Government is not limited to the Past Performance Record information provided above, but reserves the right to independently seek past performance information through open market contracts, government systems, and other government agencies.

The Contracting Officer does anticipate adequate price competition for this RFQ. Should that not happen, the Contracting Officer may need to ask for Data Other than Certified Cost and Price Data to assist with the determination of price reasonableness.

Vendors are advised that submitting an unrealistically low price may be grounds for eliminating a quote from competition. This could be on the basis that the vendor does not understand the requirement or has made an incautious quote.

Award for this requirement will be made to the vendor who proposes the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable quote to the Government. To be Technically Acceptable, the vendor must be an authorized reseller of the required items as demonstrated by their Authorized Distributor Letter. A review will be conducted. The Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA) will award to the vendor proposing the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The evaluation matrix is as follows:

1. Vendor narrative/technical information demonstrating that the product meets the salient characteristics specified in Statement of Need (Paragraph 4).

2. Authorized Distributor Letter.

3. A completed Pricing Schedule (Attachment 002A)

4. A Delivery Date no more than 30 Days calendar days ARO.

At the time of evaluation, all quotes will be evaluated to determine the Lowest Priced Quote. At that time, only the Lowest Priced Quote will be forwarded on for Technical Evaluation. If the lowest price quote is found to NOT be technically acceptable, the next lowest priced quote will be forwarded on for technical acceptability. This process will continue until the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote is identified.

The DVA may reject a quote as non-responsive if it is materially unbalanced. A quote is unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less for some work and significantly overstated for other work, or the prices do not reflect market value.

(End of Provision)

Offerors must complete annual representations and certifications electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) website located at https://www.sam.gov/portal in accordance with FAR 52.212-3, “Offerors Representations and Certifications–Commercial Items.”
