EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award a single purchase order from this RFQ to the responsible offeror whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, is the lowest price, technically acceptable quotation. The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order.

Technically acceptable means that the offeror provides services and/or products that meet the minimum requirements specified in the Statement of Work (SOW), and the requirements of all Line Items. No prototypes, demonstration models, used or refurbished instruments will be considered (for the required products). Evaluation of technical capability shall be based on the information provided in the quotation. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will evaluate whether the offeror has demonstrated that its proposed services and/or products meets all minimum requirements. If an offeror does not indicate how its proposed services and/or products meets a certain minimum requirement, NIST will determine that it does not.

The proposed pricing will be evaluated to determine that total price is consistent with the technical portion of the quotation and is a fair and reasonable overall price to the Government.

NIST intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotes received. Therefore, the offerors initial quote should contain the offerors best terms from a price and technical standpoint. NIST reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or negotiate final contract terms with, one or more, but not all, Contractors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.
