Special Notes and Instructions:

1. Basis for Award. 502d CONS/JBKAE will issue a BPA to the vendor(s) who are determined to offer the best value to the Government.

2. Best Value Determination. The technically acceptable, lowest priced quote will be determined to represent the best value. Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted requirements that meet the technical criteria that is contained in the solicited item description. If the lowest priced submission does not meet the technical criteria described in the solicited item description, 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, because 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.

3. Mandatory Registrations. 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 go to https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ and provide mandatory information.

4. Site Visit. May be required by customer upon receipt of quotes.

5. Notice to Offeror. Awaiting funds. Funds are not presently available for this requirement and will be obligated through the use of GPC. This enables quick purchase and payment for vendors accepting of major credit cards.

The Government reserves the right to cancel this purchase request, either before or after suspense date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs. The contractor shall not request, nor will the Government make, payments for any preliminary measurement, quotes, bids, site visit, time or proposal cost incurred.

6. Site Maintenance: Work areas shall be maintained in a neat, clean, safe condition and all trash, debris, and garbage, which the contractor generates shall be removed from the premises upon completion and delivery, or daily if the completion/delivery will be completed in more than one day.

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.

(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).
