The information provided must be current, accurate, and complete, and reflect the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code(s) for this solicitation and the SINs proposed.

Offerors may be required to provide letters of credit or other documentation to demonstrate that adequate financial resources are available. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.103(a), contracts will only be awarded to responsible prospective contractors. To be determined responsible, an offeror must have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

Large businesses, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions are advised of the requirement to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan as detailed in clause 552.219-72 Preparation, Submission, and Negotiation of Subcontracting Plans, incorporated by reference. The Government will review each plan to ensure it is consistent with the provisions of this clause. Subcontracting plans are subject to negotiation, along with the terms and conditions of any contract resulting from this solicitation. The offeror's subcontracting plan must be approved by the contracting officer prior to award. Failure to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan when required will result in the rejection of your offer. | ||||

| (2) | Section II – Technical Proposal | ||||
| The offeror must address the three technical proposal factors below. | |||||
| i. | Factor One - Corporate Experience: The offeror must submit a narrative description of its corporate experience. This narrative cannot exceed two pages and must address the following: | ||||
| (A) | The number of years of corporate experience in providing the products/services described under this Schedule, regardless of the specific products/services being proposed – a minimum of two (2) years of corporate experience is required, | ||||
| (B) | Organization’s number of employees, experience in the field, and resources available to enable it to fulfill requirements, | ||||
| (C) | Brief history of the offeror’s activities contributing to the development of expertise and capabilities related to this requirement, | ||||
| (D) | Information that demonstrates the offeror's organizational and accounting controls, | ||||
| (E) | A description of the resources presently in-house or the ability to acquire the type and kinds of personnel/products proposed, | ||||
| (F) | A description of how the offeror intends to market the proposed products/services to Federal clients, | ||||
| (G) | A discussion regarding the intended use of subcontractors. | ||||
| ii. | Factor Two - Past Performance: The offeror must order and obtain a Past Performance Evaluation from Open Ratings, Inc. (ORI). Offerors are responsible for payment to ORI for the Past Performance Evaluation. | ||||
| (A) | Past Performance Evaluations are valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance by ORI. If the evaluation was issued more than one year prior to the date of proposal submission via eOffer, the proposal will be rejected. | ||||
| (B) | The order form must be completed with a minimum of six (6) customer references submitted. A "customer reference" is defined as a person or company that has purchased relevant products/services from the offeror. The offeror is advised to use references from projects involving products/services related to this solicitation and/or those performed under NAICS code(s) applicable to proposed products/services. | ||||
| (C) | The offeror must submit one (1) copy of the completed Past Performance Evaluation and one (1) copy of the order form with its proposal. Failure to submit the completed evaluation and order form will result in rejection of the proposal. | ||||
| (D) | The offeror must address any negative feedback for each of the feedback categories contained in the ORI report, to include actions taken to minimize the problems that resulted in negative feedback. | ||||
| iii. | Factor Three - Quality Control: The offeror is to submit a single narrative for this factor, regardless of the number of products/services offered. This narrative cannot exceed two (2) pages and must address the following: | ||||
| (A) | A description of internal review procedures that facilitate high-quality standards, | ||||
| (B) | Identification of individuals responsible for ensuring quality control, | ||||
| (C) | Whether or not subcontractors are used and, if so, the quality control measures used to ensure acceptable subcontractor performance, | ||||
| (D) | How potential problem areas and solutions are handled, | ||||
| (E) | The procedures for ensuring quality performance when meeting urgent requirements, | ||||
| (F) | How quality control will be managed when completing multiple projects for multiple agencies simultaneously. | ||||
| (3) | Section III – Price Proposal | ||||
| i. | GSA's pricing goal is to obtain equal to or better than the offeror’s Most Favored Customer (MFC) pricing under the same or similar terms and conditions. GSA seeks to obtain the offeror's best price based on its evaluation of discounts, terms, conditions, and concessions offered to commercial customers. However, offers that propose Most Favored Customer pricing but are not highly competitive will not be determined fair and reasonable and will not be accepted. The U.S. Government Accountability Office has specifically recommended that "the price analysis GSA does to establish the Government's MAS negotiation objective should start with the best discount given to any of the vendor's customers." | ||||
| ii. | Submit proposed pricing using the attached Price Proposal Template. The Price Proposal Template MUST be submitted in Microsoft Office Excel format. The proposed pricing structure must be consistent with the offeror’s commercial practices. Pricing must be clearly identified as based either on a "Commercial Price List" or a "Commercial Market Price," as defined in FAR 2.101 (see "Catalog Price" and "Market Prices" under the definition of "Commercial Item"). | ||||
| (A) | If the MFC is a Federal agency, but sales exist to commercial customers, identify which, if any, of the commercial customers receive the offeror’s best price. This will allow the Government to establish a "basis of award" customer in accordance with paragraph (a) of clause 552.238-75 Price Reductions. | ||||
| (B) | Proposed prices must include the 0.75% Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) (see contract clause 552.238-74 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting). This fee will be included in the awarded prices and reflected in the total amount charged to ordering activities. | ||||
| iii. | Provide supporting documentation for EACH proposed product/service price. Supporting pricing documentation may consist of published and publicly-available commercial catalogs/price lists, copies of invoices, contracts, quote sheets, etc., and must be submitted with the offer. There must be a clear and relevant relationship between the supporting document and the proposed price it is meant to substantiate. Each supporting document must be clearly labeled with the name of the corresponding proposed product/service. | ||||
| iv. | The offeror must submit a detailed price narrative containing sufficient information for each of the products/services offered to enable the contracting officer to determine that offered prices are fair and reasonable. For example, if a price offered to GSA is not equal to or better than the price offered to the offeror's designated Most Favored Customer, the narrative must explain the rationale for proposing such a price in a manner sufficient to enable the contracting officer to determine that the rate is fair and reasonable. Any deviation from the offeror's commercial sales practices must be explained, including the specific circumstances and frequency of the deviations. | ||||
| The offeror must also propose a mechanism for future price adjustments, as detailed below: | |||||
| (A) | If pricing proposed in the Price Proposal Template is based on a commercial price list, submit a copy of the company's current, dated price list, catalog, or standard rate sheet (note that this must be an existing, standalone document, and not prepared for purposes of this solicitation). Future price adjustments for pricing based on a commercial price list are subject to clause 552.216-70 Economic Price Adjustment – Multiple Award Schedule Contracts. | ||||
| OR | |||||
| (B) | If pricing proposed in the Price Proposal Template is based on commercial market prices, future price adjustments are subject to clause I-FSS-969 Economic Price Adjustment – FSS Multiple Award Schedule. The offeror must either propose a fixed annual escalation rate or identify a relevant market indicator (e.g., the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index). |
