Instructions to Offerors
FAR provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(b)(1), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:
- Quoted amounts need to be net prices without tax
- The Government reserves the right to award on an "All or None" basis
- Provide Quote Expiration Date, Best Delivery Date, and any Discount Terms
- Quotes, attachments, and all other correspondence as listed in this solicitation must be emailed to both points of contact (POCs)
- All questions are to be submitted in writing by 29 Sep 2020 10:00 AM Central European Time (CET)
- Quotes are required to be valid until 31 Dec 2020
Evaluation Criteria
FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:
Basis for Contract Award:
In accordance with FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, the Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order from this solicitation to the responsible quoter with price as the only evaluation factor.
Past Performance record history will be assessed as one of the multiple standards required for a successful quote to be determined responsible as described in FAR 9.104. Award will be made to the quoter with the lowest total evaluated price (TEP) and whose quote conforms to the material solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications).
52D FIGHTER WING (USAFE)
Page 4 of 16Page 4 of 16
Quoters are advised that their quotation may exceed the requirements but the Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotes, and each response must respond to the solicitation requirement stated in the RFQ. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotes received. Therefore, the contractor's initial quote should contain the contractor's best terms from a pricing standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or negotiate final terms with, one or more, but not all, contractors if later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary. However, the contracting officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise use the procedures described at FAR 15.306.
Solicitation Requirements (Terms and Conditions) Offerors are required to meet all material solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, deliverables, Performance Work Statement (PWS), etc. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Quoter being ineligible for award. Quoters must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable, and the quote, therefore, ineligible for award.
In order for a quote to be eligible for award, the quoter must have a current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM): https://www.sam.gov/SAM prior to award. SAM will be checked to verify the quoter's status before any evaluation is conducted.
Factor 1 - Price Price quotes will be evaluated as follows:
Completeness Quotes will be reviewed for completeness. Incomplete quotes may be considered ineligible for award.
Price Reasonableness The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described IN FAR 13.106.
Price Realism Proposed prices may be evaluated for price realism. To evaluate price realism, the Government may use one or more of the price analysis techniques described in FAR 13.106.
Unbalanced pricing Quoter's quotes will be reviewed for unbalanced pricing. The Government will evaluate any supporting information provided by the quoter explaining variances that appear unbalanced. Evaluated quotes that are determined to be unbalanced may be deemed ineligible for award by the Contracting Officer if a determination is made that lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total price, the price of one or more line items (including sub line items) is significantly over or understated as demonstrated by application of price analysis techniques, such that:
a) There is reasonable doubt the quote would result in the lowest overall cost to the Government, even though it is the lowest priced quoter; or
b) The quote is so grossly unbalanced; its acceptance would be tantamount to allowing an advanced payment.
Total Evaluated Price (TEP):
The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the total proposed prices for all separately priced line items (including sub line items). The total proposed price for each separately priced line item shall be calculated as the proposed unit price
52D FIGHTER WING (USAFE)
Page 5 of 16Page 5 of 16 multiplied by the corresponding quantity.
The total proposed price for all options will be added to the total proposed price for the basic requirement as a part of the TEP calculation.
TEP will be used for evaluation purposes only. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.
The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the quoter's proposed prices for the base period and all option periods to include the six (6)-month extension period in accordance with FAR 52.217-8 “Option to Extend Services.” The six (6)-month extension period unit prices will be based on the proposed option period CLIN 4001 through 4013 unit prices multiplied by .50. The six (6)-month extension period under FAR 52.217-8 will only be utilized if necessary.
Only prices in Euro or USD will be accepted. Prices will be evaluated in USD, for quotes submitted in Euro, the exchange rate used will be the Foreign Currency Fluctuation Defense (FCFD) budget rate for the applicable currency in effect on the date set for the receipt of initial quotes. Purchase Order will be written in the proposed currency.
