(b) QUOTATION FORMAT AND ORGANIZATION

Only the required minimum amount of information is requested to be provided for proper evaluation. Efforts should be made to keep quotations as brief as possible, concentrating on substantive information essential for a proper evaluation.

All Volume pages shall be numbered and identified with the Offeror' s name, RFQ number and date. Subsequent revisions, if requested, shall be similarly identified to show revision number and date. A table of contents shall be provided with figures and tables listed separately.

When page limitations apply to a volume or specific section, a page is defined as one side of a sheet, 8-1/2" x 11 ", with at least one inch margins on all sides, using not smaller than 12 point type Times New Roman font. Line spacing or the amount of vertical space between lines of text shall not be less than single line (Microsoft Word's default line spacing).

However, this volume is to be strictly limited to pricing information. Information that can be construed as belonging in one of the other volumes of the quotation will be so construed and counted against that volume's page limitation.

One electronic copy of the Offeror's quotation shall be submitted in Microsoft Office Word (compatible with Word 2010) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) (compatible with version X).

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will award an order resulting from this Request for Quotation to the responsible Offeror whose quote conforming to this request will be most advantageous that is lowest price technically acceptable to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Technical and Price.

(a) TECHNICAL FACTOR

A quote is deemed Technically acceptable if it meets the following specifications:

Meets the specifications outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS Attachment A) and can be delivered by September 19, 2022, or earlier.

(b) PRICE FACTOR

The total price will be determined fair and reasonable, based on a price analysis conducted in accordance with FAR 16.505(b )(7), Decision Documentation for Order.

As allowed under NASA Procurement procedures, the price analysis techniques described in FAR Part 15 .404-1 are deemed appropriate and will be applied to all submitted price quotes.

This analysis is done to ensure that a "fair and reasonable" price is paid by the Government.

Each proposed pricing will be assessed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed response for total price most advantageous to the Government, which is the lowest price technically acceptable to the Government, price and other factors considered.
