Special Notes and Instructions:

1. This is a notice that this order is a total set-aside for small business concerns holding NAICS Code 337127 and the size standard of 500 employees. Only quotes submitted by small business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote that is submitted by a contractor that is not a small business concern will not be considered for award.

2. Basis for Award. 502 CONS/JBKAE will issue a purchase order to the vendor who is determined to offer the best value to the Government.

3. Best Value Determination. The Government will conduct a complete price analysis on the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable offer, to determine if proposed prices are reasonable and balanced. All proposed prices for all contract periods will be evaluated for reasonableness, which may be determined based on prices submitted by competition, historical pricing, current market conditions, comparison to the Independent Government Estimate, and/or other proposal analysis techniques. The Government may require submission of information other than cost or pricing data to the extent necessary to evaluate price reasonableness. Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted requirements that meet the criteria contained in the solicitation. If the lowest priced submission does not meet the technical criteria described within the solicitation, the government reserves the right to evaluate the next lowest priced submissions until it has determined a technically acceptable submission. The evaluation will stop at the point when the government determines an offeror to be technically acceptable with the lowest evaluated price; that offer will represent the best value. Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility, award will be made to that offeror without further evaluation of other offers. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quote is the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable quotes.

4. 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.

5. Mandatory Registration. To be eligible for award, registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) must be current (legacy for On-line Registration and Certifications Application (ORCA) and Central Contractor Registration (CCR) registrations). To register or update former CCR and Reps & Certs that are not current, to https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ and provide mandatory information.
