6. Basis of Award/Evaluation Criteria:

Award will be made in accordance with the basic contract ordering procedures, RFO Part 12, the procedures specified in the RFQ, and on the basis of the lowest priced proposal that is technically acceptable. An order may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible IAW RFO 9.1, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the RFQ's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the RFQ instructions) and is judged to represent a technically acceptable proposal with the lowest complete and reasonable price. First, the Government will rank the proposals which conform to the RFQ's requirements from lowest price to highest price. Next, the Government will evaluate the lowest priced offeror for technical acceptability as follows:

Technically Acceptable - Proposal meets all requirements of this RFQ and attachments, and the contractor can deliver the product NLT 150 days ARO.

Technically Unacceptable - Proposal does not meet all requirements of this RFQ and its attachments, and the contractor cannot deliver the product NLT 150 days ARO.

If the proposal with the lowest price is determined to be technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the offeror's total aggregate price for completeness and reasonableness. In order to determine the price fair and reasonable, the evaluation process may continue until reaching two technically acceptable proposals (to establish adequate price competition). Definitions for completeness and reasonableness are defined below. If the lowest priced proposal is technically acceptable and the price is complete and reasonable, that offeror's proposal represents the best value to the Government and award will be made to that offeror. If the lowest priced proposal is not technically acceptable, the Government will consider the correction potential and may enter interchanges with that offeror. If, after interchanges with that offeror, their proposal is technically acceptable and remains the lowest priced, an order will be awarded to that offeror. If the Government deems the proposal not easily correctable, or if at any time it becomes other than the lowest priced proposal, the next lowest priced proposal 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 proposal, or until all proposals are evaluated. In order to determine price fair and reasonable, the evaluation process may continue until reaching two technically acceptable proposals (to establish adequate price competition). Applicable definitions for price completeness and reasonableness are outlined below:

Completeness - The proposal 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 proposal in addressing and fulfilling the RFQ 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 RFO 12.204(a).

7. The Government intends to make award based on the initial proposal 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 CO and the offerors that may address any aspect of the proposal 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 RFQ. This acquisition follows the ordering procedures outlined in RFO 16.5, as supplemented.

8. Quotations are due by 12:00 pm (Central Time) on 26 August 2026. Submit quotations electronically in accordance with RFQ via email to the Contracting Specialist, Ms. Michelle Terry at michelle.terry.1@us.af.mil, and Contracting Officer, Ms. Madison Tikalsky, at Madison.tikalsky.1@us.af.mil.
