1. Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items (Oct 2018)

FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items (Oct 2018) applies to this acquisition and is incorporated by reference. The below items have been revised.

- The following words stating “offer”, “offeror”, and “proposal” are replaced with

“quotation”, “vendor”, and “quote”.

- Paragraph (b)(4) is supplemented as follows: “Brand Name or Equal purchase descriptions are included in this RFQ. Unless the vendor clearly indicates in its quote that the product/s being offered are an “equal” product, the vendor shall provide the brand name product/s referenced in this Request for Quote.”

- Paragraph (c) first sentence revised as follows: “The vendor agrees to hold the prices in its quote firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of quotes, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the quote.”

- Paragraph (g) second sentence revised as follows: “The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without interchanges. The government however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges with one, some, none or all vendors at its discretion."

- Paragraph (B)(12) is added as follows:

As part of a vendors quote, the following information must be furnished:

(i) Company Name

(ii) DUNS Number

(iii) Cage Code

(iv) Number of Employees (used to evaluate size status)

(v) Total Yearly Revenue (used to evaluate size status)

(vi) Estimated Delivery Date

(vii) Payment Terms

(viii) Warranty Terms

(ix) FOB (Destination or Origin)

(x) Shipping Costs

2. Evaluation of Quotations or Offers

Pursuant to FAR 12.602 contract award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106. Quotes will be evaluated for technical compliance and price.

a. Technical. Attachment #1, Statement of Work identifies the government’s minimum requirements. The Government will evaluate quotes on the basis of information furnished by the vendor or identified in the quote and reasonably available to the Government. The Government is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the quote.

To be considered responsive, vendors are required to:

(1) Clearly identify an understanding and capability to execute tasks 2.1 through 2.5.8.

(2) Clearly identify an understanding and capability to execute tasks 3.1 through 3.2.2.4; and

(3) Clearly identify an understanding and capability to execute tasks 4.1 through 4.3.

b. Price. To be considered responsive, vendors shall provide pricing for all items specified in the above CLIN Schedule.

Quotes will be evaluated for price completeness, reasonableness and balance.

(1) Completeness. The quote will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The vendors quoted price and other information will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the technical volume between the initial quote and any revisions thereto (if applicable).

The review will determine the adequacy of the vendors quote in addressing and fulfilling the solicitation requirements.

(2) Reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a).

(3) Unbalanced pricing. Vendors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one (1) or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze quotes to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or sub-line items. A quote that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

3. Basis for Award

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). A technical advisor will compare a vendor’s solution against the requirements outlined in the SOW and assign a technical rating of either “Acceptable” or Unacceptable”. If the lowest priced vendor is rated to be “Technically Acceptable”, evaluation will stop without any further consideration of additional quotes. If the lowest priced vendor is rated to be “Technically Unacceptable”, review of the next lowest priced quote will continue until a “Technically Acceptable” rating is achieved or until all quotes are evaluated.

4. Quote/Question Suspense & Submission Instructions

NOTE: Preferred method of receipt is via email. ZIP files are not an acceptable format for the Air Force Network and will not go through our email system. Vendors should place a read/delivery receipt and/or request confirmation of receipt by the government.

Any offer not sent via email to the appropriate government POC’s or the address if mailing, will be considered nonresponsive.
