INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS/ NOTICES/QUOTE FORMAT AND CONTENT

General Instructions

Offerors are expected to examine the entire Request for Quote (RFQ), including any amendments to this RFQ. Offerors shall furnish all of the information required by this RFQ, any omitted information will be considered unacceptable, and the quote may be rejected.

This RFQ does not obligate the Government to compensate for any costs incurred by the Offeror in the preparation and/or submission of any quote, nor does it obligate the Government to procure for said services or supplies.

Basis for Award.

Offerors are expected to examine the entire Request for Quote (RFQ), including any amendments to this RFQ. Offerors shall furnish all of the information required by this RFQ, any omitted information will be considered unacceptable, and the quote may be rejected.

This RFQ does not obligate the Government to compensate for any costs incurred by the Offeror in the preparation and/or submission of any quote, nor does it obligate the Government to procure for said services or supplies.

The Government intends to make award to the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offeror.

Technically acceptable is defined as meeting/conforming to all the salient characteristics/requirements identified in the Technical Specifications. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer only until the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer is identified.

The Offeror's quote must comply in all material aspects with the requirements of law, regulations and conditions set forth in this Request for Quote (RFQ). The quote must meet all mandatory RFQ requirements. If an Offeror takes exception to any of the terms and conditions of the RFQ or fails to meet any of the requirements of the RFQ, then the Government may consider the offer to be unacceptable.

The offeror's initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical, price, and past performance standpoint.

The Government may request information from offerors to clarify certain aspects of offers or to resolve minor errors or clerical errors prior to award without discussions. The Government will evaluate each quote strictly in accordance with its content and will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the offeror's written quote.

Quotes that are unrealistic in terms of technical response or price will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the proposed task order. Such quotes may be rejected as unacceptable without further discussions. In addition, the Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration those quotes that are deficient in information as to require a major rewrite or revision in order to become acceptable.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

Quote Due Date.

Quotes are due No Later than Monday, May 12th NLT 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Submission of Quotes/Offers.

Offerors shall submit a complete quote, as specified via email at or before the Quote Due Date. Do not submit quotes via document sharing websites.

Period for Acceptance of Offers.

The offeror agrees to hold prices in its quote firm for 90 calendar days from the Quote Due Date, unless another time period is specified in an amendment to the RFQ.

Submission of Questions/Concerns.

It shall be the obligation of the offeror to exercise due diligence to discover and to bring to the attention of the Government any ambiguities, inconsistencies, or concerns regarding the information in the Request for Quote.

All questions/concerns regarding this Request for Quote (RFQ) shall be submitted in writing (no telephone calls) to the Contract Specialist at tiffany.a.winbush@uscg.mil no later than Monday, 05 MAY 2025 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Follow-up/additional questions will not be accepted after this date.

Offerors shall reference the RFQ number and provide enough information in their e-mail so the Government can easily respond to their questions/concerns. All questions/concerns that are received in reference to this RFQ will be compiled and will be posted on the SAM.gov website for viewing by all potential offerors. Responses to questions/concerns will be available after the due date for questions/concerns has passed.

*DO NOT ask or submit questions/concerns regarding this RFQ to any other USCG or government personnel (e.g., COR, program/project manager, etc.). *

(g) Price and any discount terms.

a. Offers are required to propose on all contract line items, either by price or "NPS" (Not Separately Priced). A zero-dollar figure ($0.00) means the Offeror will provide the line item at no charge to the Government. A line-item price left blank will be considered unacceptable and may result in the quote not being considered for award.

(h) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments (SF-30), if applicable.

Quote Format/Page Limit.

A complete quote shall be limited to 100 pages, excluding Solicitation Amendments (SF-30). Each "page" is one single-sided 8.5" x 11" sheet, with at least one-inch margins on all sides and using Times New Roman font size 12 or larger.

Quotes shall set forth full, accurate, and complete information.

Evaluation Factors for Award The Government will award an Order resulting from this RFQ to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be the Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable Offer.

Technically acceptable is defined as the offeror's ability to meet or exceed (and understand) all the requirements identified in the Specifications. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated. This process will continue until a technically acceptable offer is identified; not all offers will be evaluated. The following factors shall be used to evaluated quotes: (1) Technical and (2) Price.

(1) Technical (Pass/Fail) The Government will evaluate the offeror's ability and method/approach to providing all the requirements in the Specification. Technical will be rated as the extent the offeror can clearly and fully demonstrate that is has a thorough understanding of the requirements and can successfully provide the requirements.

Offerors that cannot specifically address their ability and method/approach to providing all the requirements in the Specification or that do not submit a Technical Section with their offer may be rejected without further consideration.

(2) Price (Only the lowest priced technically acceptable offer will be evaluated on Price) Offerors are required to provide a unit price for all items. A zero-dollar figure ($0.00) unit price means the Offeror will provide the supply at no charge to the Government.

Unit prices left blank or annotated with something other than a dollar figure will be considered unacceptable and the Government has discretion whether to reject the offer without any further consideration.

The solicitation does not obligate the Government to compensate for any costs incurred by the Offeror in preparation and/or submission of any offer, nor does it obligate the Government to procure for said services/supplies.

(3) The expanded affiliated group which after the acquisition includes the entity does not have substantial business activities in the foreign country in which or under the law of which the entity is created or organized when compared to the total business activities of such expanded affiliated group.
