The North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS) is 513210, with a Small Business Size Standard of $47 million dollars, PSC: 7A21. A firm-fixed price purchase order will be issued.

DESCRIPTION: See Atch 1 MATLAB 2025 Requirements SET-ASIDE: This acquisition is 100% small business set aside.

BASIS FOR AWARD: The Government anticipates issuing a firm-fixed price purchase order resulting from this request to the responsible vendor whose quote conforms to the solicitation and whose quote will be most advantageous and in the best interest to the Government; however, the Government reserves the right to cancel, revise and reissue this combined synopsis solicitation if determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

The vendor shall conform to the following evaluation factors:

1. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) shall be the primary means for quote evaluation. All quotes will be sorted from lowest total evaluated price to highest total evaluated price; the total evaluated price equals the sum of CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002. The lowest priced quote will be evaluated first. If the lowest priced quote is found technically acceptable, evaluations will stop and steps will begin to award to that vendor. If the lowest priced quote is found technically unacceptable, then the second lowest priced quote will be evaluated. This process will continue until a quote is determined technically acceptable. The vendor acknowledges the means for LPTA evaluation by submitting a quote.

2. The vendor shall conduct a thorough review of Atch 1 – MATLAB 2025Requirements and provide a quote with adequate documentation that supports the quoted price and conforms to the salient specifications listed in Atch 1.

3. The vendor shall complete Table 1 of the combined synopsis solicitation and provide all requested information. The vendor shall provide pricing that includes all delivery fees and applicable taxes, if any, by detailing the total evaluated price in Table 1.

4. In accordance with FAR 52.204-7, System for Award Management (Oct 2018), the vendor shall be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award.

5. By the vendor submitting a quote, the vendor agrees that all quoted prices shall be valid for 30 days after close of solicitation response date.

6. The award will be made to the perspective and responsible vendor, whose quote conforms to the solicitation, while being most advantageous to the Government, along with negotiated price and other factors considered.

NOTE: Clarifications are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Quoter that may address any aspect of the quote and may or may not be documented in real time.

The Government intends to make award based on the initial quote submissions without conducting clarifications. Therefore, each Quote should contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct clarifications, during the evaluation, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Quoter’s responses to clarifications will be considered in making the award selection decision. Clarifications may be conducted with one, some or all Quoters as the Government is not required to conduct clarifications with any or all Quoters responding to this combined synopsis solicitation.
