CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2017)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(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 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 subpart 4.10 of the

Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items 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.

If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(k) System for Award Management.

Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM database accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

BASIS FOR AWARD/EVALUATION

BASIS FOR AWARD

13.5 – Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. Award will be made to a single offeror who is deemed responsible, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, is rated as technically acceptable and represents the lowest price among those rated as technically acceptable.

2) By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale as detailed above in instructions to offerors, Volume I –

General/Price.

3) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless the offeror submits a written notice of withdrawal before award.

4) Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial offers received, without discussion of such offers.

EVALUATION

1) Compliance with Solicitation Requirements. Offerors proposals will be reviewed to determine compliance with solicitation instructions in FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items and its Addendum. For those offers that do not conform to solicitation requirements, the Contracting Officer will make a determination to either eliminate the proposal from the competition or waive the discrepancy.

2) Price. Price will be evaluated for Completeness and Reasonableness.

a) Completeness. This element is met when the respondent’s prices are determined complete in accordance with the solicitation instructions. Failure to submit a price for all items in the price schedule (Attachment

3) will render the offer ineligible for award.

b) Reasonableness. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating. As there is a high probability of competition, reasonableness shall be established through competition in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(1). In the event that only one offeror is received reasonableness will be established in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(2).

c) Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all ordering periods. This is calculated by multiplying the Government provided estimated quantities by the Offeror’s submitted unit prices inserted in solicitation Attachment 3, Price Schedule.

The sum total for the five (5) year ordering period will be each Offeror’s TEP.

d) The Government reserves the right to obtain additional information concerning the price as necessary to obtain a better understanding of the offered price. No proposal revisions will be allowed under these conditions. Request for such information is for clarification purposes only. This does not constitute and shall not be construed as discussions. If a minor clerical error has occurred, in which case the offeror may be given an opportunity to correct the minor error within the constraints of the "clarifications" process or the Contracting Officer in his/her sole discretion later determines discussions to be necessary or appropriate.

3) Technical Proposal. Offeror’s technical proposals will be evaluated against the following:

a) Offeror’s proposed equipment and specifications (if other than the specified brand name) will be compared against the salient characteristics specified in Attachment 2, Salient Characteristics and the

Statement of Work to determine technical acceptability. Offerors proposed equipment must meet all minimum requirements specified in the solicitation to be determined “Acceptable”. Failure to provide information on all specified equipment as required may result in a determination of “Unacceptable”.

b) Each offeror’s Technical Proposal shall be assigned a rating of “ACCEPTABLE” or

“UNACCEPTABLE” based on the minimum requirements established above. Ratings are defined as follows:

Adjectival Rating Description

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

EVALUATION PROCESS.

(a) Initially all offers will be screened to ensure the offer conforms to the solicitation requirements to determine compliance with solicitation requirements. Next, all offeror’s prices will be ranked in order of total evaluated price based on the submissions from Attachment 3, Price Schedule, from lowest to highest price. The responsive, lowest price offer will be evaluated to determine price fair and reasonable. The responsive, lowest price reasonable offer will then be evaluated for technical acceptability. If that offer is determined to be technically acceptable, then that offer will be assessed for responsibility.

(b) Contractor Responsibility. Once the apparent successful offeror is selected the Government will determine if the offeror is responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104.

(c) If the responsive, lowest priced technically acceptable offer is determined responsible; that offer represents the best value for the Government. Award will be made to that offeror without consideration of other offerors. If the compliant, lowest priced reasonable offeror is determined to not be technically acceptable; the next responsive, lowest priced offer will be evaluated. This process will continue in order by price until an offeror is determined to be technically acceptable, has a reasonable price and is responsible.
