1. Basis for Award

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible vendor whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Evaluation Factors and steps: Price Factor, meeting requirements of the attached Salient Characteristics (Conformance) and Past Performance:

Step 1: Evaluate all quotations for responsiveness.

Step 2: Rank all responsive quotations based upon offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) (CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 added together will be computed together for TEP) in ascending order from lowest price to highest price.

Step 3: Evaluate lowest price offeror’s conformance to the attached specifications by verifying the quoted product will satisfy Salient characteristics. If conformance is met, move to step four.

If not, evaluate the next lowest priced vendor for conformance. Continue evaluating until conformance is achieved.

Step 4: Evaluate past performance beginning with the lowest priced, fully conformed offeror until a rating of acceptable is received; then move to step five (5). See FAR 13.106-2(b)(3) for more information on evaluating past performance.

Step 5: Make a Best-Value decision based on meeting requirements of the attached Salient Characteristics (Conformance), performance evaluation and a determination the price is fair and reasonable.

(a) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of Provision)

Discussions: The government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors/quoters. The government however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
