Solicitation Attachments

The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforms to the solicitation; is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered; and provides the best value to the Government in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(ii) and FAR 2.101. There is no ranking or assigned importance to evaluation factor IAW FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(iii). The use of FAR 15.3 and DoD Source Selection Procedures are not applicable to this solicitation, or any award resulting from this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Quality (technical capability) and Price.

Factor 1: QUALITY-TECHNICAL CAPABILITY – The quote will be considered technically acceptable if it meets the specifications in Attachment 1 - Printer Salient Characteristics. Quotations that do not meet these requirements will be considered unacceptable and therefore under the evaluation process will not be considered for award. The following ratings will be used in rating Quality (technical capability):

Acceptable: Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable: Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

Factor 2: PRICE

Price will be evaluated as follows:

Completeness:

Upon receipt of quotes, the contracting officer will screen quotes to ensure they are complete, and all required information and pricing are present. This will be done quickly, and in the most minimally burdensome fashion, as determined by the contracting officer93.

Price Reasonableness:

The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is based on competitive quotations, as outlined in FAR 13.106-3(a)(1), but price reasonableness may also be determined through price analysis techniques, as described in FAR 13.106-3.

Total Evaluated Price:

Only the total evaluated price (TEP) submitted in the quote will be evaluated; this includes the total CLIN pricing for the items listed in Attachment 2- Quote Schedule.
