The Government reserves the right to award to a vendor other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Required Submittals: In order to evaluate the vendor’s experience and qualifications, the following documentation shall be submitted with their quote:

1. File #1: General Information/Technical Approach:

Options:

The Government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This includes options under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. The Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows: The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be those rates in effect under the contract each time an option is exercised under this clause. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all quotes relative to each other and will not affect the ranking of quotes based on price, unless, after reviewing the quotes, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.

Quotes submitted by email shall be sent to felicia.simpson@va.gov and will be accepted by the Government at the close of offers to the contract specialist email box. Quotes must also be in PDF, and compatible with Microsoft Office Software to be accepted. The Contractor submitting a quote is responsible for ensuring that the contract specialist has received the quote before the deadline for receipt of quotes, and the government will not be responsible for delays or failures or either the contractor’s email system or the Government’s email system. Facsimile offers will not be accepted.

System for Award Management: IAW FAR 52.212-4 (t) Contractors submitting quotes are encouraged to go to the SAM database at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM and start the registration process as soon as possible to avoid possible delays should the contractor be selected as a prospective awardee. After initial registration, the contractor is required to update registration data as changes occur and must re-register annually to ensure all data remains current. Noncompliance with this requirement will preclude the exercising of any option periods that may be included herein and will be cause for termination of the contract at such time noncompliance is discovered. Refer to cited Clause for more details.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUOTATION SUBMISSION

Format of Quotation: In order to be considered for selection, the Contractor must submit a complete response to this solicitation using the sequence and format instructions provided.
