52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2015)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT

2015)

Period for Acceptance of Quotes: Paragraph (c) of this provision is hereby changed to read 60 calendar days.

Notice to quoters: Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse a quoter for any costs.

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. The purpose of these instructions is to prescribe the format of Request for Quote (RFQ) and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the request for quote data. This is designed to ensure the essential information required for evaluation is submitted.

B. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition so offerors are cautioned to submit their best pricing and technical information up-front.

Upon examination of the initial quotes, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offeror may be required to submit information, other than certified cost or pricing data, to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

C. To assure the timely and equitable evaluation of request for quotes, offerors shall follow the instructions contained herein. Quoters are required to meet and address all of the requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an quote being deemed ineligible for award. Quoters must clearly identify any exception to the terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The RFQ when submitted, shall be comprehensive, complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of the RFQ. Elaborate artwork, expensive paper/binding and expensive visual aids are neither necessary nor desired.

The RFP responses shall consist of:

(1) Price Volume

(2) Technical Volume All pages of each part shall be numbered. The volumes will be 12 pitch and on 8 ½” x 11” paper except for fold-outs used for charts, tables or diagrams, which may not exceed 11” x 17”. Each volume shall contain a cover sheet, clearly marked with the RFQ number, title, and the offeror’s name. The Technical quote volume shall not contain any price data or reference to price. Include a statement in the quote that it contains proprietary information for your company and cannot be released outside the Government if necessary.

Quoter shall acknowledge awareness of all amendments to the solicitation by signing and dating Page 1 of each Standard Form 30, Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in the offeror’s offer being summarily rejected due to nonresponsiveness.

Any commitments made in the quote shall become part of the resultant contract.

Quoter shall clearly annotate the profit, overhead, or G&A rates used in their quote. This will be the rate used when determining the passthrough charges allowed on CLIN x003.

D. Complete in its entirety the "offeror" portion of the Standard Form 1449. An official having authority to legally bind the company contractually must sign and date the Standard Form 1449. One copy of the Standard Form 1449 must bear an original signature and if applicable, all amendments. Failure to acknowledge any amendments to the solicitation can result in an offeror being deemed nonresponsive.

Award CANNOT be made to a nonresponsive offeror. Note: Be sure to sign and date where required.

E. Representations and Certifications. Complete the required Representations and Certifications or indicate if information is contained in the System for Award Management (SAM) located at https://www.sam.gov.

F. Late RFQs will be processed in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f) “Late submission, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of quotes.”

2. FORMAL COMMUNICATIONS

2.1. Any formal communication shall be submitted in writing (via email) to the POCs below. It is the quoter’s responsibility to confirm receipt of all formal communications.
