52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(SEP 2023)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees, or 150 employees for information technology value-added resellers under NAICS code 541519, if the acquisition--

(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of Federal specifications, standards, and product descriptions can be downloaded from the ASSIST website at https://assist.dla.mil.

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

Regional Contracting Office, Camp Pendleton, CA, is issuing Request For Quotation (RFQ) to procure a Media Monitoring Suite. This procurement is conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) utilizing FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures).

Incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-04 effective 06/11/2025 and DFARS Change Notice (DCN) 1/17/2025, effective 1/17/2025.

BASIS FOR AWARD. Basis for award will be capability to meet the techinical software specifications and price.

The pricing will be reviewed to determine if deemed fair and reasonable compared to industry standard. The resulting award will be a Firm Fixed Priced purchase order, all or none, to provide requirement.

EVALUATION. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price award to satisfy this requirement.

Award will be made on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to this RFQ. Therefore, quoters are cautioned to ensure that initial quotes contain your best terms from a technical and price standpoint. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes:

1. TECHNICAL: Meet minimum salient characteristics

See enclosure

2. PRICE: All quotes must be the Contractor’s best pricing. Price analysis shall be used to verify that the overall price offered is fair and reasonable. The Offeror shall input the unit price and total in all the line items present in the SF1449. The total evaluated price is calculated using the prices proposed for all line items.

3. EVALUATION PROCESS: The evaluation will proceed as follows:

Step 1 – The Contracting Officer will review offers to determine if each offeror has submitted a responsive quote. To be responsive, quoters must submit all the documentation identified above, by the RFQ close date/time shown in block 8 of the SF1449. A quote may be eliminated from the competition without further consideration if it does not meet the responsiveness requirements.

Step 2 – Quotes that have been determined responsive will then be evaluated and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the technical acceptability criteria above. Offerors must receive an “Acceptable” rating on each technical element to be determined technically “Acceptable”.

Step 3 – Remaining technically acceptable quotes will be ranked in order from lowest to highest based on submitted CLIN prices. All CLIN prices will be evaluated and determined to be fair and reasonable using one or more of the techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). The assessment of price will consider the overall quoted price. Quotes containing only partial pricing will not be evaluated.

Step 4 – If the three lowest price, technically acceptable quotes are judged to have an “acceptable” delivery, those quotes represent the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point.

Award shall be made to the lowest quoter without further consideration of any other quotes.

Incomplete quotes may not be considered.

The Government reserves the right to award no contract, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a single contract without requesting or accepting revised quotes. Therefore, the Offerors will be advised that their initial quote should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify quotes and hold discussions.
