Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show-

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

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

(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 FAR52.212-3 (see FAR52.212-3(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 30calendar 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, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative 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 4:30p.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-

- Page 6 of 30 -

(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.

(End of Clause)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS

(d) BASIS FOR AWARD. This is a competitive Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS). By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items, the offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable. Award will be made to the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP) offer that meets the acceptability standards for technical with an acceptable past performance rating. The evaluation process will include the following:

(I) Price Evaluation Factor. The government will rank all offers by TEP, including all option prices. The price evaluation will document the fairness and reasonableness of the TEP.

Total Evaluated Price: A TEP will be computed for each offer in order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17. The price of a six-month extension authorized by 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, will be added to the proposed price for each potential contract performance period.

The TEP is a two-part computation. First, the offeror’s total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B by the unit price, limited to two decimal places, for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to confirm the extended total amount for each CLIN; the sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror’s total proposed price. Second, the total proposed price (total amount for CLINs XXXX – XXXX) plus the sum of Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8 formula (shown below) will constitute the TEP.

The formula for the Option to Extend Services amount is as follows:

Base Year = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5 Option Year 1 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5 Option Year 2 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5 Option Year 3 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5 Option Year 4 = CLIN Extended Amount x 0.5

Evaluating the Option CLINs does not obligate the government to exercise the Options.

(II) Technical Acceptability Factor. Offerors will be evaluated in accordance with the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial. Technical acceptability is based on successfully meeting the requirement. Each outlined subfactor will be rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” as follows:

Table 1. Technical Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Quotation clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quotation does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(III) Past Performance Factor. The government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on all technically acceptable offerors based on (i) any past and present performance information provided from Past and Present Performance Information List (Attachment 3) and (ii) any data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources.

- Page 11 of 30 -

The government will evaluate past and present performance utilizing information provided by the offeror to include contracts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last three (3) years prior to the issuance date of this solicitation. Greater consideration will be given to past and present performance effort that meets the scope, magnitude of effort, and complexity of the requirement as described in this RFQ. For evaluation purposes, the scope, magnitude, and complexity are well weighted equally. The government will assess relevancy for each contract and assign a rating as described in Table 2 below:

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Rating Definition

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexity that this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Performance Quality Assessment: For each of the recent and relevant past performance information reviewed, the performance quality of work will be assessed and assigned ratings based on the Quality Assessment Criteria in the areas of Quality and Management. Greater consideration will be given to the Quality rating for each recent and relevant performance effort.

2. Award shall be based on All or None acceptable quotation deemed most advantageous to the Government.

3. In order to be considered for award, the offeror’s technical quotation must be rated as “Acceptable.” The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest TEP.

(End of Clause)

52.209-7 Information Regarding Responsibility Matters. (OCT 2018)

Information Regarding Responsibility Matters (Oct 2018)
