Nonconformance with the instructions provided may result in disqualification or unfavorable evaluation.

MATERIALS SUBMITTED. The vendor is advised that all submissions and related material become the property of USCG and will not be returned. The technical and price quotes, if accepted by the USCG, will form binding parts of the purchase order that results from this solicitation. Therefore, care must be taken to properly address the requirements set forth in this document.

PROPRIETARY DATA. Each page of the vendor's quote must be reviewed and marked as to proprietary data content by the vendor. Also, see FAR 3.104-4. A single blanket statement at the front of the quote is not acceptable. Failure to mark every page will subject your quote to public release through

Evaluation:

The purchase order resulting from this solicitation will be issued as a FIRM-FIXED PRICE purchase order. The purchase order will be made to the LOWEST-PRICE technically acceptable quote.

The USCG intends to award the purchase order based on the initial quote without engaging in exchanges.

However, the USCG reserves the right to conduct exchanges with one or more of the vendors if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary and in the best interests of the USCG. The USCG may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received. Vendors are strongly encouraged to submit their best quote in response to this solicitation.

The Government will first review the quotes for completeness/compliance (everything required to be submitted has been submitted). If a quote is found to be incomplete/non-compliant, it may be removed from the evaluation process, and it will not be further evaluated. Then the Government will list the remaining quotes by price, lowest to highest, and will begin the technical quote evaluation with the lowest priced Offeror. Upon finding the Offeror who meets the brand name requirements (i.e. technical acceptability), the Offeror’s price will be evaluated for reasonableness. If the first quote evaluated is technically acceptable with a price that is reasonable, evaluation will stop. If the first quote evaluated is either not technically acceptable or has a price that is not reasonable evaluation will continue. Once the lowest reasonably priced, technically acceptable quote is found evaluations will stop.

The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation at any time.
