SUBJECT: Simplified Acquisition Quotation Request (SAQR) #FA4452-18-R-0052, Amendment 01, Brand

Name Only (BNO) RSA Two Factor Authorization (2FA) Token System and Cisco Authentication Server Requirement

1. This is an Amendment to the combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with (IAW) the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. It is the intent of the 763 Specialized Contracting Squadron (SCONS) to award a firm-fixed-priced (FFP) contract to a vendor who can supply the BNO RSA 2FA Token System and Cisco Authentication Server requirement.

Headquarters Air Mobility Command’s (AMC) Directorate of Communications’ Operations Division (A6OA) requires RSA 2FA Token System and Cisco Authentication Server requirement at three AMC locations (Scott Air Force Base, Illinois; Joint Base Andrews, Maryland; and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.) The Government anticipates award to the offeror with the lowest aggregate price that is technically acceptable. The base period delivery will consist of products and 12-month subscriptions delivered between 13 Mar 18 – 12 Mar 19 and four 12-month subscriptions for the option CLINS between 13 Mar 19 – 12 Mar 23.This requirement is being solicited IAW FAR 13 as supplemented. ITEMS FOR THE BASE PERIOD MUST BE DELIVERED AND RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 27 Mar 18.

2. There are two attachments to this SAQR: Attachment 1 Information Sheet, Attachment 2 Provisions and Clauses. A response to this request shall consist of completion of Attachment 1 and applicable specifications (or a submitted quote in contractor format as long as it, at a minimum, depicts unit and extended prices (rounded to the nearest dollar), applicable specifications and delivery periods) and Attachment 2 Provisions and Clauses, specifically provision FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items.

3. Basis of Award: Award will be made IAW FAR 12 and 13 procedures and the procedures specified in this SAQR, and on the basis of the lowest total aggregate price quote that is technically acceptable. A contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.1, as supplemented, whose quote conforms to the SAQR's requirements and is judged to represent the technically acceptable quote with the lowest complete and reasonable price. First, the Government will rank the quotes which conform to the SAQR’s requirements from lowest price to highest price. Next, the Government will evaluate the lowest price offeror for technical acceptability as follows:

Technically acceptable- quote meets all the requirements of RSA 2FA Token System and Cisco Authentication Server requirement, as outlined in Attachments 1, and 2.

Technically unacceptable- quote does not meet all the requirements of the RSA 2FA Token System and Cisco Authentication Server requirement, as outlined in Attachments 1, and 2.

If the quote with the lowest price is determined technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the offeror's total aggregate price (this includes the price for the 12 month base delivery period and all four one-year option delivery periods), for price completeness and reasonableness, as defined below. If the lowest priced quote is technically acceptable and the price is complete and reasonable, this offeror's quote represents the best value to the Government and award will be made to that offeror. If the lowest priced quote is not technically acceptable, the Government will consider the correction potential and may enter into interchanges with that offeror. If, after interchanges with that offeror, their quote is technically acceptable and remains the lowest priced, the contract will be awarded to that offeror. If the Government deems the quote not easily correctable, or if at any time it becomes other than the lowest priced quote, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability, followed by an analysis of their price to verify reasonableness and completeness. Interchanges will take place as necessary or deemed appropriate by the Government.

This evaluation process will be repeated until reaching a technically acceptable quote, or until all quotes are evaluated. In order to determine price fair and reasonable, the evaluation process may continue until reaching two technically acceptable quotes (to establish adequate price competition).

Applicable definitions are outlined below:

Completeness - The quote will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The review will determine the adequacy of the offeror's quote in addressing and fulfilling the SAQR requirements.

Reasonableness - For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a).

4. The Government intends to make award based on the initial quote submissions without conducting interchanges. Therefore, each offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to hold interchanges if, during the evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Interchanges are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the offerors that may address any aspect of the quote and may or may not be documented in real time. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges using Interchange Notices (IN). Offeror responses to INs will be considered in making the award selection decision. Interchanges may be conducted with one, some, or all offerors. The Government is not required to conduct interchanges with any or all offerors responding to this SAQR. This acquisition follows the ordering procedures outlined in FAR 13, as supplemented. The CO will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the evaluation techniques at FAR 13.106-2 and 13.106-3(a).

5. This SAQR in no way obligates the Government for any costs incurred by the offeror for this requirement. The Government reserves the right not to award a contract in response to this SAQR.

Prior to commencement of any activities associated with delivery of this requirement, the Government will issue a written directive or contractual document signed by the CO with appropriate consideration established.

6. Quotes shall be submitted by email to gloria.hoybach@us.af.mil no later than 13 Mar 18 at 2:00 PM

Central Time. Any quotes received after the SAQR closing date and time may be considered “late” and may not be considered for award.
