All quotes shall be emailed to david.santiago2@va.gov. The Subject Line for email submissions shall state ‘ 36C24424Q0134 – Quote’.

Quote Content and Submission Instructions: Vendors should review RFQ and are ultimately responsible for ensuring that their quotes fully comply with submission requirements for this RFQ. Each quote shall clearly demonstrate that the Vendor understands both the general and specific technical requirements of the Scope of Work. Failure to explain Vendor’s ability to meet all requirements may result in the Vendor's quote not being considered. The vendor may submit a capability statement to explain technical acceptability. Clarity and completeness of quotes are of the utmost importance. Therefore, quotes must be organized in a practical, clear, and concise manner.

For a response to this solicitation to be considered complete Vendors must comply with the following requirements:

- All Non-Manufactures must submit an Authorized Distributor Letter from the OEM.

- The Vendor must be able to provide a price for all the Items listed in the Schedule.

- Must Sign Block 30a on Cover Sheet of Solicitation, STANDARD FORM 1449

- Vendors must submit a delivery date ARO (estimate delivery date after award).

EVALUATION

Award for this requirement will be made to the vendor who proposes the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote to the Government. To be Technically Acceptable:

· The vendor must be an OEM Authorized Reseller as demonstrated by their OEM Authorized Distributor Letter.

· Must provide pricing for all items listed in the Schedule of this Solicitation.

· Must sign the Solicitation, on STANDARD FORM 1449. Vendors must submit a delivery date ARO (estimate delivery date after award).

The Department of Veteran’s Affairs will award to the vendor proposing the best value to the Government.

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 Department of Veteran Affairs 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.
