Fully complete the pricing on each item as required. The contractor shall fill out a unit price, the extended price and a total price for all items.

52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, (Jan 1999)

Award will be made to the Offeror whose Acceptable Technical Proposal represents the Best Value to the Government. Best Value will be determined by the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable proposal.

Offers will be rated by technical acceptability and award will be made to the lowest priced offer.

(1) The evaluation team will evaluate each offer on its merits and assign one of the following ratings to each offer.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description Acceptable Offer clearly meets the requirements of the

Solicitation and the Requirements Description.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the requirements of the Solicitation and the Requirements Description.

Price. The Government shall conduct a price evaluation of all offers. The Government will evaluate an offer by adding the total price for all CLINs. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair, reasonable and realistic price. Evaluation of prices will determine if they are compatible with the scope of the effort, are not unbalanced and are neither excessive nor insufficient for the effort to be accomplished. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness; however, the Government reserves the right, if it deems appropriate, to make these determinations by means of one or more price analysis techniques.

a. Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this RFQ) and is judged, based on the evaluation to represent the best value offer.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award 1 (one) contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

b. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS

FOR

Alpine Sleep and Pack System

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, NEVADA

58th RQS Alpine Sleep and Pack System The 58th RQS requires an alpine sleep and pack system that allows for squadron members to conduct operations in harsh weather and extreme outdoor environments for extended periods.

This system will consist of cold weather sleeping bags, sturdy 4 season tents, and large durable backpacks, and related accessories.

All items must be provided by the same manufacturer. This is to ensure consistent sizing across all sleeping bags. By procuring items made by one manufacturer, we ensure ease of success for the operator by keeping things like backpack features the same regardless of size so despite which pack is being used it has the same features allowing the operator to focus on more important aspects of the operation than gear familiarity. Last, by procuring all items from the same manufacturer, we maintain consistent product wear and life cycles across the entirety of the sleeping bags, tents, and backpacks, minimizing the potential for pre-mature individual item replacement within the clothing system.

The total requirement is described in detail below. In order to meet upcoming training requirements all the equipment listed below MUST be delivered and received no later than Tuesday, 24 January 2017.
