1. PERIOD FOR ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS: The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

2. SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM) REGISTRATION: Offeror must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). SAM includes the functionality of the previous Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and Online Representations and Certifications Applications (ORCA). No contract will be entered into with an unregistered contractor. Internet access allows registration by completing an electronic online registration application at http://www.beta.sam.gov. The electronic record in the Online Representations and Certifications (ORCA) will serve as an alternative to completing provisions 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Items.

However, offerors must read and complete 52.212-3(b) and any other sections of 52.212-3 as applicable to this procurement.

3. PROPOSAL DELIVERY: Proposals are to be submitted electronically via e-mail.

Accepted formats include Portable Document Format (PDF), MS Word, and Microsoft Excel to the following POCS:

Victoria Torres victoria.torres@va.gov

52.212-1 “INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS”. Faxed offers will not be accepted. The VA will not pay any costs incurred in preparation and submission of proposals.

4. OFFEROR SHALL SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING:

FACTOR 1 – Technical

Brand name requirement. Offeror shall provide a description of the contract line item to be quoted and demonstrate capability of providing requested contract line item. Quoter shall provide authorized distributor’s letter specifying ability to provide maintenance and Support for IM core Software detailed in contract line items.

FACTOR 2 – Price

The quote should contain the quoter’s best terms from a price standpoint. The

Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all contract line items.

Late submissions shall be treated in accordance with the solicitation provision at FAR 52.212-1(f).

Point of Contact Victoria Torres victoria.torres@va.gov

NOTE: 41 USC Public Contracts uses the term “Quotes” interchangeably with and encompassing bid, or quote, or proposal so it is not necessary to revise the title of the provision but the content of the body is tailorable if identified as an Addendum.

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the request for quote by evaluating the following factors:

a. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the quotes will undergo a comparative evaluation to determine which vendor provides the best value to the Government in terms of the information provided in response to the non-priced factors while also providing a competitive price.

Moreover, the Government is not assigning weight to the factors or listing them in any order.

Following receipt of quotes, the Government will perform an evaluation using a comparative analysis of the supply quoted. The Government will compare quotes to one another to select the service that best benefits the Government by fulfilling the requirement. The evaluation of Government requirements outlined in this request for quote will determine suitability.

Once the Government determines there is/are a contractor(s) that can provide a supply that meet(s) the requirements of this request for quote, the Government reserves the right to communicate with only those contractors quoting the best-suited service to address any remaining issues. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all line items for the total price for the basic requirement.

The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the line-item prices are significantly unbalanced.

b. Evaluation Criteria

FACTOR 1 – Technical Brand name requirement. Offeror shall provide a description of the contract line item to be quoted and demonstrate capability of providing requested contract line item. Quoter shall provide authorized distributor’s letter specifying ability to provide maintenance and Support for IM core Software detailed in contract line items.

FACTOR 2 – Price

The quote should contain the quoter’s best terms from a price standpoint. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all contract line items.

Late submissions shall be treated in accordance with the solicitation provision at FAR 52.212-1(f).
