1. Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items (Oct 2018)
FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items (Oct 2018) applies to this acquisition and is incorporated by reference. The below items have been revised.
- The following words stating “offer”, “offeror”, and “proposal” are replaced with “quotation”, “vendor”, and “quote”.
- Paragraph (c) first sentence revised as follows: “The vendor agrees to hold the prices in its quote firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of quotes, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the quote.”
- Paragraph (g) second sentence revised as follows: “The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without interchanges. The government however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges with one, some, none or all vendors at its discretion."
- Paragraph (B)(12) is added as follows:
As part of a vendors quote, the following information must be furnished:
(i) Company Name
(ii) DUNS Number

(vi) Estimated Delivery Date
(vii) Payment Terms
(viii) Warranty Terms
(ix) FOB (Destination or Origin)
(x) Shipping Costs
2. Evaluation of Quotations
Pursuant to FAR 12.602 contract award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106. Quotes will be evaluated based on responses to below factors and sub factors (when applicable).
a. Factor 1 – Technical
Sub factor 1:
Sub factor 2:
Sub factor 3:
b. Factor 2 – Price
Factor 1 - Technical
This factor and applicable sub factor/s will evaluate a vendor’s ability to meet the requirements outlined in . For evaluation and to be considered responsive, vendors must provide the following:
Factor 2 - Price
To be considered responsive, vendors must provide pricing for all items specified in the above CLIN Schedule.
Quotes will be evaluated for price completeness, reasonableness and balance.
a. Completeness. The quote will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The vendors quoted price and other information will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the technical volume between the initial quote and any revisions thereto (if applicable). The review will determine the adequacy of the vendors quote in addressing and fulfilling the solicitation requirements.
b. 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).
c. Unbalanced pricing. Vendors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices.
Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one (1) or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze quotes to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or sub-line items. A quote that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
3. Basis for Award
Comparative Analysis. Following receipt of quotes, the Government will perform a comparative analysis (comparing vendor quotes to the requirements of the RFQ) in order to select the vendor that is best suited to fulfill the requirements of the RFQ and represents the best value to the Government. All quotes will initially be evaluated and rated based on the vendor’s responses to factors and sub factors (if applicable). The Technical Factor and/or applicable sub factors will be individually evaluated and receive a rating of: “Exceeds Minimum Requirements”, “Meets Minimum Requirements” or
“Does not Meet Minimum Requirements”. Preference may be given to vendors whose provided solution exceed minimum requirements if determined by the government to represent the best value. Quotes will also be evaluated for price completeness, reasonableness and balance and receive an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” rating. An incomplete, unreasonable and/or unbalanced determination will result in an “unacceptable” Factor 2 (Price) rating. The Government will then make an award decision consistent with evaluated results and determined to represent the best value.
4. Quote/Question Suspense & Submission Instructions
NOTE: Preferred method of receipt is via email. ZIP files are not an acceptable format for the Air Force Network and will not go through our email system. Vendors should place a read/delivery receipt and/or request confirmation of receipt by the government.
Any offer not sent via email to the appropriate government POC’s or the address if mailing, will be considered nonresponsive.
a. RFQ due date:
