(End of Provision)

E.2 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRACTORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (TAILORED

FOR SAP)

The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet ((Standard Form)(SF 1449)), or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits a quotation in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 1,000 employees.

(b) Submission of quotation. Submit quotations to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Quotations may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, quotations shall show-

(1) The solicitation number;

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

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

(4) A technical description of the items being quoted 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;

https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/html/FormsStandard67.html#wp1189284

(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 quotation 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. Quotations that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of quotations. 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.

(d) Multiple quotations. Contractors are encouraged to submit multiple quotations presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each quotation submitted will be evaluated separately.

(e) Late submissions.

(1) Contractors are responsible for submitting quotations 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 quotations are due.

(2) Any quotation received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of quotations is late and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quotation would not unduly delay the acquisition.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotations cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotations 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 quotations 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.

(f) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a BPA based on the initial quotations received. Therefore, the Contractor’s initial quotation should contain the Contractor’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or determine final BPA terms with, one or more, but not all, Contractors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

However, the Contracting Officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise use the procedures described at FAR Part 15.306. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; and issue a BPA to other than the Contractor with the lowest priced quotation.
