E.1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

Note that FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures will be used.

1. OFFER SUBMISSION

Offerors shall submit their offer via email to Cherisse Hall at Cherisse.Hall@va.gov by 8:00am EST on September 22, 2025. Offers shall be assembled by the following Sections: each section shall be easily identified.

Section A - Offer Form (Standard Form 1449) Signed and dated, include the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard in Block 10. Unique Entity ID (UEI) Number shall be entered in the block with the Offerors’ name and address.

Section B – Pricing Pricing shall be submitted on the price/cost schedule.

Section C– Offerors Representations and Certifications A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically). An offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/.

All Offerors shall be registered and current in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at time of offer submission and maintain active registration until contract award, completion of performance, and final payment.

All Offerors are to provide Hobart authorized service provider, factory trained service technicians, and authorized factory replacement parts documentation.

System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in agency solicitations. Examples include 52.222-25, Affirmative Action Compliance, and paragraph (d) of 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.

Section D – Past Performance The Offeror shall provide three references: federal and private sector (if applicable). Identify all federal, state, and local government contracts as well as any private/commercial contracts of similar scope, size, complexity that are ongoing or have been completed within the last three years. List the following information for each contract:

· Company Name and Address

· Description of Services Performed

· Name, Telephone Number and Email Address of Responsible individuals who have first-hand knowledge of performance relative to similar type of services

· Dates of Contract Performance

· Contract Type (e.g. fixed-price, cost reimbursable) and total contract value

Failure to submit a complete proposal may result in a technically unacceptable determination.

2. Amendments:

Amendments to this solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov. Paper copies of the amendments will NOT be individually mailed. Offerors will be notified by SAM.gov of any new amendments that have been issued. No other notification of amendments will be provided. Potential Offerors are advised that they are responsible for obtaining and acknowledging any amendments to the solicitation. Failure to acknowledge an amendment may result in your quote being considered unacceptable.

3. AWARD BASIS

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, offers the lowest price, whose offered price does not exceed the amount of funding available for the procurement, and whose offered price is found to be reasonable. Past performance and Price are the evaluation factors.

Factor 1: Past Performance

PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS

Acceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral The offeror did not submit relevant past performance or the information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful rating can be assigned.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Past Performance will be evaluated to the extent of acceptable, neutral, or unacceptable for the Government’s requirements as outlined in the statement of work of the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to the offeror’s section of the solicitation.

Factor 2: Price

Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

4. TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

Offerors should submit all technical questions regarding this solicitation to the Contracting Officer in writing, via email, to Cherisse.Hall@va.gov on or before 10:00am, EST on September 18, 2025.
