SPECIAL NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS:

1. This is a notice that this order is a total small business set-aside concerns holding NAICS Code 451140 and the size standard is 500 Employees threshold. 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. 633 CONS/PKA will issue a purchase order to the vendor who is determined to offer the best value to the Government. Failure to acknowledge Amendments may result in your quote not being considered for award.

3. Best Value Determination. The Government will conduct a complete price analysis on the Lowest Priced

Technically Acceptable offer, to determine if proposed prices are reasonable and balanced. All proposed prices for all contract periods will be evaluated for reasonableness, which may be determined based on prices submitted by competition, historical pricing, current market conditions, comparison to the Independent

Government Estimate, and/or other proposal analysis techniques. The Government may require submission of information other than cost or pricing data to the extent necessary to evaluate price reasonableness. Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted requirements that meet the criteria contained in the solicitation. If the lowest priced submission does not meet the technical criteria described within the solicitation, the government reserves the right to evaluate the next lowest priced submissions 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; 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. Discussions. The government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors/quoters. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interests.

5. Mandatory Registrations. To be eligible for award, registration with the System for Award Management

(SAM) must be to https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ and provide mandatory information.

6. Delivery/Assembly: The items must be fully assembled and ready for use upon delivery.

7. The following FAR/DFARS provisions and clauses are applicable to this solicitation:

52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (Oct 2018) – Addendum

1. General Instructions

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

B. The contracting officer urges the offeror to submit their best pricing and technical information upfront. The contracting officer may request at any time for the offeror to submit information, other than the 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, the offeror shall follow the instructions contained herein. Offeror is required to meet and address all of the requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Offeror 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 RFQ response shall consist of:

(1) Price Volume

(2) Technical Volume

52.212‐2 ‐‐ Evaluation ‐‐ Commercial Items- Addendum

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offerors conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

(b) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Price

Factor 2: Technical

Factor 1 – Price:

Price will be evaluated using the price analysis process established in FAR 15.404-1 to ensure the Government receives a fair, reasonable and balanced price. If the Government cannot determine the proposed pricing to be fair and reasonable, then “Other Than Certified Cost and Pricing Data” will be obtained from the offeror. The Government will evaluate the offer for award purposes by adding the total price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS) including phase-in, basic period, option years and fifty percent (50%) of the last option year price in order to cover the option to extend services IAW clause 52.217-8.

In addition to the price analysis as described at FAR 15.404-1(b), price proposals will be analyzed to identify any potential unbalanced pricing (See FAR 15.404-1(g)). If the Government sees a wide variation in proposed contract line item prices, the technical evaluation board will be informed as soon as possible during the initial evaluation of proposals so the appropriate personnel may seek clarity through offeror exchanges. Absent any issues related to the stated requirement, unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject the offeror’s proposal.

Factor 2 – Technical:

The technical rating reflects the degree to which the offeror’s proposal meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements. The focus is on the ability of the offeror proposal to meet the minimum requirements of the SOR for all three times required. Technical proposals will be assessed a rating of "Acceptable" or

"Unacceptable". To be eligible for award, the offeror is required to receive an “Acceptable” rating in each technical factor.

Subfactor: Requirements

Standard bell configuration, German bell ring, Plateau key for left hand 3rd finger, Left hand whisper lock, and Palm

- Equal items must address how it will meet the same requirement as the brand specified.
