Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available.
The following provisions are incorporated into 52.212-1 as an addendum to this solicitation:
This requirement is 100% set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business entities. Each Offeror must be verified/registered in SAM (https://sam.gov) and VIP at time of offer submission. The Quoters’ quotation must include all data and information requested herein and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions.

Quotations must be clear, concise, and must include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of the claims stated in the quotations.
The quotation should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements but instead must address how the Quoter intends to meet the requirements described in this solicitation.
The Quoter should assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its abilities and experience and will base its evaluation entirely on the information presented in the quotation.
Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.
*Quoters are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements.
The Quote shall consist of two (2) separate volumes:
Volume One (1): Price Volume Two (2): Technical
*The Government is not requesting nor accepting alternate quotes.

VOLUME TWO- TECHNICAL
*No Pricing information shall be contained in this volume

Failure to provide these licenses, permits or registrations will render the quote incomplete and it will not be further evaluated for award.
c. The Quoter must provide a draft agreement (in the event that the quoter is not the manufacturer) between the Quoter and the manufacturer of the medical grade bulk liquid oxygen that will be supplied under the contract affirmatively demonstrating that the Quoter will be authorized by the manufacturer to resell the manufacturer’s medical grade bulk liquid oxygen.

Additional Required Documents:
1. Offeror shall submit offers by Due Date/Time specified in Block 8 of Standard Form (SF) 1449 of solicitation to Shannon Hodgson at shannon.hodgson@va.gov with “Solicitation 36C25722Q0185 in subject line.
1. Offeror shall submit a signed SF 1449 signature page of solicitation.
1. Offeror shall submit signed SF 30 solicitation amendment acknowledgements, as applicable.
1. Completed FAR 52.212-3 – Offeror Representations and Certifications.

Questions concerning the solicitation will be accepted with a final cut-off date for question submission of 2/14/23 @ 11:00am CDT. Questions will only be accepted by email to Shannon.hodgson@va.gov. Please reference RFQ number 36C25722Q0185: Medical Grade Bulk Liquid Oxygen in the subject line.
Provision 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERICAL ITEMS (NOV 2021) is hereby replaced in full by the following:
(a) Basis for Award. The Government will award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation is deemed to be the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quote.
(b) Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotes using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection process. Quotes shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of Quotations or Offers, where quotations are evaluated in an impartial manner based on acceptability only (not ranked using the non-price evaluation factors). Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The evaluation will consider the following:
i. Price: Section B.3, Price/Cost Schedule identifies line items 0001, 0002 and 0003 as estimated quantities for this RFQ, the remaining line items are set quantities. The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s prices by multiplying the estimated quantities for each line item by the prices identified for each line item. All amounts will then be added together, and the total evaluated price will be that sum. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. If the lowest-price Quote is found to be incomplete, or is evaluated as unacceptable, the agency will then consider the acceptability of the next lowest-priced Quote, continuing this process as necessary.
ii. Technical: Quoter’s technical information will be evaluated for completeness first (whether the Quote includes the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation) and then to determine whether the Quote demonstrates that the Quoter can satisfactorily meet the Government’s requirements as outlined in the solicitation. Incomplete proposals will not be considered for award.
The following clauses are hereby added to the solicitation:

(iv) The business has been verified for ownership and control pursuant to 38 CFR part 74 and is listed in VA’s Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database at https://www.vetbiz.va.gov/vip/; and
(v) The business will comply with VAAR subpart 819.70 and Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations regarding small business size and government contracting programs at 13 CFR parts 121 and 125, provided that any reference therein to a service-disabled veteran-owned small business concern or SDVO SBC, is to be construed to apply to a VA verified and VIP-listed SDVOSB, unless otherwise stated in this clause.
(2) The term “Service-disabled Veteran” means a Veteran, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(2), with a disability that is service-connected, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(16).
(3) The term “small business concern” has the meaning given that term under section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632).
(4) The term “small business concern owned and controlled by Veterans with service-connected disabilities” has the meaning given the term “small business concern owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans” under section 3(q)(2) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(q)(2)), except that for a VA contract the firm must be listed in the VIP database (see paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this clause).
(b) General. (1) Offers are solicited only from VIP-listed SDVOSBs. Offers received from entities that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs at the time of offer shall not be considered.
(2) Any award resulting from this solicitation shall be made to a VIP-listed SDVOSB who is eligible at the time of submission of offer(s) and at the time of award.
(3) The requirements in this clause apply to any contract, order or subcontract where the firm receives a benefit or preference from its designation as an SDVOSB, including set-asides, sole source awards, and evaluation preferences.
(c) Representation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(e), only VIP-listed SDVOSBs are considered eligible to receive award of a resulting contract. By submitting an offer, the prospective contractor represents that it is an eligible SDVOSB as defined in this clause, 38 CFR part 74, and VAAR subpart 819.70.
(d) Agreement. When awarded a contract action, including orders under multiple-award contracts, an SDVOSB agrees that in the performance of the contract, the SDVOSB shall comply with requirements in VAAR subpart 819.70 and SBA regulations on small business size and government contracting programs at 13 CFR part 121 and part 125, including the non-manufacturer rule and limitations on subcontracting requirements in 13 CFR 121.406(b) and 13 CFR 125.6. Unless otherwise stated in this clause, a requirement in 13 CFR parts 121 and 125 that applies to an SDVO SBC, is to be construed to also apply to a VIP-listed SDVOSB. For the purpose of limitations on subcontracting, only VIP-listed SDVOSBs (including independent contractors) shall be considered eligible and/or “similarly situated” (i.e., a firm that has the same small business program status as the prime contractor). An otherwise eligible firm further agrees to comply with the required certification requirements in this solicitation (see 852.219-75 or 852.219-76 as applicable). These requirements are summarized as follows:
(1) Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs (excluding direct costs to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and the SDVOSB/VOSB does not provide the service, such as airline travel, cloud computing services, or mass media purchases). When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the service portion of the contract.
(2) Supplies/products. (i) In the case of a contract for supplies or products (other than from a non-manufacturer of such supplies), the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs. When a contract includes both supply and services, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the supply portion of the contract.
(ii) In the case of a contract for supplies from a non-manufacturer, the SDVOSB prime contractor will supply the product of a domestic small business manufacturer or processor, unless a waiver as described in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(5) has been granted. Refer to 13 CRF 125.6(a)(2)(ii) for guidance pertaining to multiple item procurements.
(3) General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs.
(4) Special trade construction contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, no more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, may be paid to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs.
(5) Subcontracting. An SDVOSB must meet the NAICS size standard assigned by the prime contractor and be listed in VIP to count as similarly situated. Any work that a first tier VIP-listed SDVOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the percent of subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. For supply or construction contracts, the cost of materials is excluded and not considered to be subcontracted. When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the portion of the contract with the preponderance of the expenditure upon which the assigned NAICS is based. For information and more specific requirements, refer to 13 CFR 125.6.
(e) Required limitations on subcontracting compliance measurement period. An SDVOSB shall comply with the limitations on subcontracting as follows:
__X__ By the end of the base term of the contract or order, and then by the end of each subsequent option period; or
____ By the end of the performance period for each order issued under the contract.
(f) Joint ventures. A joint venture may be considered eligible as an SDVOSB if the joint venture is listed in VIP and complies with the requirements in 13 CFR 125.18(b), provided that any requirement therein that applies to an SDVO SBC is to be construed to apply to a VIP-listed SDVOSB. A joint venture agrees that, in the performance of the contract, the applicable percentage specified in paragraph (d) of this clause will be performed by the aggregate of the joint venture participants.
(g) Precedence. The VA Veterans First Contracting Program, as defined in VAAR 802.101, subpart 819.70, and this clause, takes precedence over any inconsistencies between the requirements of the SBA Program for SDVO SBCs, and the VA Veterans First Contracting Program.
(h) Misrepresentation. Pursuant to 38 USC 8127(g), any business concern, including all its principals, that is determined by VA to have willfully and intentionally misrepresented a company’s SDVOSB status is subject to debarment from contracting with the Department for a period of not less than five years (see VAAR 809.406-2 Causes for Debarment).
(End of clause)

Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.
(ii) □ In the case of a contract for supplies from a nonmanufacturer, it will supply the product of a domestic small business manufacturer or processor, unless a waiver as described in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(5) is granted. The offeror understands that, as provided in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(7), such a waiver has no effect on requirements external to the Small Business Act, such as the Buy American Act or the Trade Agreements Act.
(2) Manufacturer or nonmanufacturer representation and certification. [Offeror fill-in—check each applicable box below. The offeror must select the applicable provision below, identifying itself as either a manufacturer or nonmanufacturer]:
(i) □ Manufacturer or producer. The offeror certifies that it is the manufacturer or producer of the end item being procured, and the end item is manufactured or produced in the United States, in accordance with paragraph (a)(1)(i).
(ii) □ Nonmanufacturer. The offeror certifies that it qualifies as a nonmanufacturer in accordance with the requirements of 13 CFR 121.406(b) and paragraph (a)(1)(ii).

[Contracting Officer fill-in or removal (see 13 CFR 121.1205). This requirement must be included for a single end item.

(3) The offeror acknowledges that this certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States. The offeror further acknowledges that this certification is subject to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, and, as such, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the offeror subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution.
(4) If VA determines that an SDVOSB/VOSB awarded a contract pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127 did not act in good faith, such SDVOSB/VOSB shall be subject to any or all of the following:
(i) Referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee;
(ii) A fine under section 16(g)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 645(g)(1)); and

(b) The offeror represents and understands that by submission of its offer and award of a contract it may be required to provide copies of documents or records to VA that VA may review to determine whether the offeror complied with the limitations on subcontracting requirement specified in the contract or to determine whether the offeror qualifies as a manufacturer or nonmanufacturer in compliance with the limitations on subcontracting requirement. Contracting officers may, at their discretion, require the contractor to demonstrate its compliance with the limitations on subcontracting at any time during performance and upon completion of a contract if the information regarding such compliance is not already available to the contracting officer. Evidence of compliance includes, but is not limited to, invoices, copies of subcontracts, or a list of the value of tasks performed.
(c) The offeror further agrees to cooperate fully and make available any documents or records as may be required to enable VA to determine compliance. The offeror understands that failure to provide documents as requested by VA may result in remedial action as the Government deems appropriate.
(d) Offeror completed certification/fill-in required. The formal certification must be completed, signed and returned with the offeror’s bid, quotation, or proposal. The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.
