ADDENDA TO 52.212-1, PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the proposal, the offeror must follow the instructions contained herein. The proposal must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation. The response shall consist of two parts:

Part I – Price Proposal Part II – Technical Capability.

B. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional data 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; offerors may be required to submit cost data to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

C. Specific Instructions:

Offers will first be reviewed by total price from lowest to highest, then technical acceptability. If the lowest priced proposal is deemed technically acceptable, no further evaluation will be conducted and the contract will be awarded.

1. PART I – PRICE PROPOSAL - Submit one electronic copy of the vendors quote with pricing for all items listed on the Pricing Schedule on page 1 of this RFQ. This pricing shall include delivery within 100 days ARO to FOL Manda Bay, Kenya Africa. Vendor Quote shall include the Business Name and DUNS/CAGE code, a Vender Point of Contact with phone number.

Electronic copies must be compatible with Microsoft Office programs.

(a) Documents submitted in response to this solicitation must be fully responsive to, and consistent with the following:

1. Requirements of the RFQ (Item Numbers).

2. Evaluation Factors for Award.

2. PART I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY –

The Technical portion of the proposal shall be assessed as ‘acceptable’ or ‘unacceptable’. The evaluation process will consider the following:

a. The Offeror shall provide responses to the seven questions on page 4 of this RFQ; a copy of the Technical evaluation Sheet is also attached to this notice. The Offeror's responses will be evaluated to determine its understanding of the requirements and the qualifications to provide the requirement of this RFQ. Information shall be detailed enough to allow the government to make the technically acceptable or unacceptable determination.

(ix) Offers shall be evaluated in accordance to the following 52.212-2:

52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i) Price;

(ii) Technical acceptability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;

technical acceptability will be determined from the offerors responses to the following questions.

(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.

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2:

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive RFQ that utilizes FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and will utilize the lowest price technically acceptable evaluation procedures and fair and reasonable determination. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, the offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the RFQ terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

A. Price Evaluation. Initially, offers will be ranked according to price. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified on the Price Schedule Worksheet by the proposed unit price for the item to confirm the extended amount for the line item on the vendors Quote.

B. Technical Acceptability Evaluation. The contracting officer will seek responses to the seven questions below. The Offeror's responses will be evaluated to determine its understanding of the requirements and the qualifications to provide the requirement of this RFQ. Information shall be detailed enough to allow the government to make the technically acceptable or unacceptable determination. Any responses found unacceptable shall deem the entire quote technically unacceptable.

1) Does the plate carrier come in sizes ranging from small to extra-large?

2) Does the plate carrier have pre integrated level III armor?

3) Is the plate carrier capable of carrying side, front, and back armor (ceramic plates) to advance the capabilities to level IV?

4) Does the system allow for the carry of six M4 magazines and 1 radio pouch

(either by attachment or pre-existing pouches)?

5) Is the plate carrier either OCP pattern or Coyote brown/tan?

6) Does the plate carrier have a quick release system built in (I.E. Clips at the shoulders or pull tab on the chest)?

7) Is the system designed as a “plate carrier system” rather than a full tactical vest, concealed armor, or chest rig? (Should be light-weight while still incorporating armor mentioned above)

C. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is determined to have an ‘acceptable’ technical evaluation, then that offer represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point.

Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

D. If the lowest priced offeror is not determined to have an ‘acceptable’ technical evaluation, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is determined to have an ‘acceptable’ technical evaluation or until all offerors are evaluated.

E. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the RFQ to permit a meaningful assessment of technical acceptability.

Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revisions.

F. If, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, any Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror’s proposal has been evaluated as acceptable at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the Final Proposal Revision are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror’s proposal be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.
