Clarification of language used. This solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ). If appearing in this solicitation, the terms "RFP" shall mean "RFQ", the words "proposal" or "offer" shall mean "quote", the word "offeror" shall mean "quoter", and the word "contract" shall mean "purchase order."

Submitting your quote. Submit quotations to the office specified in this solicitation and before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Questions may be submitted no later than 4 days of the solicitation close date and answers will be posted no later than 2 days of the close date. You may submit more than one quote, and are encouraged to do so if an alternative satisfying the requirements of the solicitation exists and may be of interest to the Government. If you do, we will evaluate each quote separately.

Submission deadline. We must receive your quote by email at andrew.westbrook@gmail.com and damien.charley@us.af.mil by the deadline specified above. We will not consider any quote that we receive after the deadline, unless we receive it before issuance of the purchase order and considering it will not delay our purchase. If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotations cannot be received by the contracting office by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of quotations 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.

Terms and content of your quote. Your quote must be based on the terms of this RFQ. We may reject any quote that is not based on these terms in every aspect.

Determination of contractor responsibility. Before issuance of a purchase order, the Contracting Officer will determine the prospective contractor is responsible and has the capacity to satisfy the Government requirement. To this end, the Contracting Officer may request additional documentation or information from any or all prospective contractors, to include: references to current or former customers who will attest to the quality of your product or service, evidence of adequate financial resources to perform in accordance with the purchase order or the ability to obtain them, evidence of the contractor's ability to comply with the delivery or performance schedule, information regarding the contractor's organization, experience, or any other documentation and information that might be necessary to determine the contractor's capacity for work.

Issuance of purchase order. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order to the vendor that provides the most advantageous quote to the Government. The Contracting Officer may reject any or all quotes. After the evaluation of initial quotes received, the Contracting Officer may have interchanges with one, none, or all quoters of the Government's choice before issuing a purchase order. The Contracting Officer will not have interchanges with any quoter's other than those of the Government's choice and will not use the formal source selection procedures described in FAR Part 15. The Contracting Officer will make an award to the vendor whose quote offers the best value to the Government in accordance with the evaluation criteria cited in FAR 52.212-2.

Attachment 1- Husqvarna Brand Name Justification

Attachment 2- Provisions and Clauses

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2.

IAW FAR 12.301(c)(2) and the procedures stated in FAR 13.106-2, the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforms to the solicitation and is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Evaluation Procedures: This will be a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation. Award may only be made to a responder who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.1, whose quote conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required under the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instruction to Offerors, of this solicitation), based on the evaluation factors/subfactors, and to represent the lowest price technically acceptable quote. The following factors shall be used in a comparative evaluation:

1) Price: At a minimum the CLINs structure outlined in the solicitation shall be completed. The proposed price shall be submitted in U.S. Dollars and inclusive of supply, shipping and delivery, installation, setup, and training. The Unit Price must be rounded to the second decimal.

2) Technical Compliance. Quotes will be evaluated based upon how well they adhere to this solicitation's specifications via submitted technical documentation and will be rated on an Acceptable/Not Acceptable basis. If no technical documentation is provided the proposal will be deemed unacceptable and/or unresponsive.

- TECHNICAL RATINGS -

Acceptable: Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of solicitation Not Acceptable: Quote does NOT clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

Only quotes deemed “Responsive” shall be evaluated. All responsive quotes received will be first evaluated by Technical Acceptability and then for Price. The technical evaluation team will evaluate quotes on an Acceptable/Not Acceptable basis. After evaluation, the lowest priced technically acceptable quote will be selected for award.

The Contracting Officer further reserves the right to conduct price realism to determine whether quotes are so low/high they reflect a lack of technical understanding by the quoter. If deemed necessary, the Contracting Officer shall reject any quote that is deemed unrealistically low/high.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with vendors. Vendors should not expect requests for clarification or additional information from the Government. Award will be based on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to the solicitation. Therefore, quoters are cautioned that their initial quotes should contain their best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.
