2) RFQ, QUOTE AND AWARD DOCUMENTS

2.1 ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF QUOTATIONS VIA PIEE

Utilization of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module (PSM), System for Award Management (SAM.gov) is required for electronic quote submissions.

1. Website Offerors must be properly registered in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module (PSM), System for Award Management (SAM.gov), and the Joint Certification Program (JCP) in order to receive controlled attachments. Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1‐866‐606‐8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov. Information about the JCP is located at https://www.dla.mil/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/. Information about PIEE PSM is located at https://piee.eb.mil. Offerors must request access to the controlled attachments via SAM.gov. The Contracting Officer will review JCP and allow access to controlled documents by Cage Code if requesting vendor is properly registered in JCP. The controlled documents will be located in PSM; therefore, the Offeror will need to obtain the controlled documents through PSM.

2. Quote Submission Module/Portal

Quotations shall be submitted through the PSM Module/Portal located at https://piee.eb.mil by the solicitation closing date and time specified on the cover letter of this solicitation, block (8). Offers must be received via the PSM portal by the closing date and time in order to be considered for award. It is not permissible to upload a link to an internet‐based data center (e.g. Google cloud or Dropbox). Offeror shall submit all required quote information directly in the PSM portal. In the rare event the portal is down or inaccessible, Offeror shall immediately notify the cognizant Contracting Officer, (fill in name and email address), and Contract Specialist, (fill in name and email address) for the solicitation via email prior to the solicitation closing date and Offeror shall also contact the PIEE helpdesk to register a help ticket that PSM is down or inoperable prior to the closing time and date. In the rare event of a portal malfunction, arrangements must be made with the Contracting Officer cognizant for the solicitation prior to the solicitation closing date and time in order to submit a quote electronically outside the portal. Failure to submit a complete quote prior to the solicitation closing date and time will render the quote late and unacceptable.

Any amendments to the subject solicitation will be posted through PSM. The complete solicitation package, including all amendments, should be received and reviewed prior to submitting a response. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to obtain all amendments and/or other applicable documents prior to submission of the quote. Offerors are responsible for submitting quotes and any quote modifications in the PSM by the time specified in the solicitation. Any quote modification not submitted in the PSM by the exact time specified for receipt of quote is “late” and will not be considered. The solicitation will close at the exact date and time specified in the solicitation. The time and date of quote receipt will be the upload completion/delivery time and date recorded within PSM. Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously. Large files (e.g. 10MB or more) will take some time to upload. Offerors should time their upload effort with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the upload confirmation for their record.

Quotes shall be submitted as separate files for the RFQ and Quote, and Technical Volume.

This document, which may be used as part of the contract award document, shall be fully executed and returned as a separate document from the technical and cost quotes. Quoters must fill in all areas of the RFQ that contain Quoter fill‐ins. Special attention should be taken to accurately enter the prices for each CLIN in Section B, complete all Representations and Certifications in Section K and ensure that an authorized person signs the quote in Block 17 of Page 1.

Quoters shall ensure that Representations and Certifications in SAM are current in the Online Representations and Certifications (ORCA) database at www.SAM.gov.

M-215-H004 BASIS OF AWARD (NAVSEA) (DEC 2018)

All units of all items will be awarded to one offeror. Offers, therefore, must be on the basis of furnishing all units of all items to the specification(s) detailed in this solicitation. The government anticipates award of a firm fixed priced contract from this solicitation. The resulting contract will be awarded to the low priced offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 9, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by evaluation factors of this request for proposal) and based on the evaluation factors is considered technically acceptable. Technical acceptability is determined by the offeror demonstrating the material/service being provided meets the solicitation requirements. The low offer will be analyzed to determine if the offeror’s proposed price is fair and reasonable utilizing price analysis techniques in accordance with the guidelines in FAR Subpart 13.106-3.
