Special Notes and Instructions:

1. Small Business Set-Aside. This is a notice that this is a 100% total set-aside for SB concerns holding NAICS code is

337124 (Metal Household Furniture Manufacturing) and the size standard is 750 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 delivery order to the vendor who is determined to offer the best value to the Government. Contract type shall be Firm Fixed Price (FFP). Failure to acknowledge Amendments may result in your quote not being considered for award. To be eligible for award, the offeror must have current Representations and Certifications in accordance with FAR 52.212-3. These are usually attached to the solicitation for offerors to complete; however, in accordance with DFARS 212.301, the contracting officer will consider required data if available electronically (up-to-date and current in the System for Award Management located at https://www.sam.gov/SAM) instead of requiring the offeror to complete these provisions and submit with quote. The Government intends to make one (1) single award from the solicitation based on available funds.

3. 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 specifications in the

Statement of Work. If the lowest priced submission does not meet the specifications described in the solicited item description, the Government reserves the right to evaluate the next lowest priced submission 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.

4. Interchanges. The Government intends to award a purchase order without interchanges with respective vendors/quoters.

The Government however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges if deemed in its best interest.

5. 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).

Details of the requesting product to fulfill requirement must be met.

7. Notice to Offeror. The Government reserves the right to cancel this Request for Quote (RFQ), either before or after suspense date. In the event the Government cancels this RFQ, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs.

52.212-2(a): Paragraph (a) is tailored as follows:

(a) The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Evaluation Process. The evaluation factor and process to be used is listed below.

Government. To arrive at a decision, each quote will be assessed in accordance with the following evaluation factors:

Price

Technical Acceptability (in accordance with specifications listed in the salient characteristics)

1.1.1. Price Evaluation. Evaluations will be completed by determining the extended amount for each Line Item

Number (CLIN) and the total evaluated price (TEP). The extended amount for each CLIN will be determined by multiplying the unit price by the quantity. An offeror’s TEP will be determined by adding the extended amount for all CLINs. The

Government may require submission of information other than cost or pricing data to the extent necessary to evaluate price reasonableness.

1.1.2. Technical Evaluation. All offerors shall submit within their quote their proposed design, and a list of proposed equipment and supplies to satisfy the requirements included in the Statement of Work.

If additional quotes are evaluated for technical acceptability, they will be evaluated in the order of total price.

(a) Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be used to evaluate each quote and will receive one of the following ratings:

(i) Acceptable –

(1) Proposed equipment/supplies. The proposed equipment/supplies clearly meet the brand name characteristics as listed in this RFQ and the salient characteristics.

(ii) Unacceptable –

(1) Proposed equipment/supplies. The proposed equipment/supplies does not meet the brand name characteristics as listed in this RFQ and the salient characteristics.

Government.

2.
