SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 05-Aug-2022 11:00 AM to 12-Aug-2022 11:00 AM.

The following have been modified:

52.212-2-EVALUATION

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

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

1.0 BASIS FOR AWARD – LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE

1.1 Basis of Award: A Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach will be used; the evaluation criteria are described herein. The policies and procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in conjunction with FAR Subpart 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, will be utilized for this procurement. The Award decision will be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Vendor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government.

* Although the basis of award is LPTA, vendors are cautioned to factor potentially rising fuel and transportation cost into their proposed pricing. The resultant contractor will bear the risk of both rising and lowered fuel and transportation costs.

1.2 The Government's technical evaluation team will evaluate the quote to determine if it is either Technically Acceptable or Technically Unacceptable (price excluded). In order to be considered Technically Acceptable, the quote for each factor must be determined Acceptable and must demonstrate an understanding of the requirement that meets the needs of the solicitation and SOW. Failure to meet the criteria will render the quote to be Technically Unacceptable and will not be considered for award.

1.3 The Government will evaluate the quote strictly in accordance with this solicitation and will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the Contractor's submission.

1.4 The Government intends to award the contract without discussions. Therefore, the quote should contain the Contractor's best terms from Technical Capability and Price Reasonableness standpoint. Additional oral or written information from the Contractor may be requested. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions. If a revised quote is requested, it will be evaluated against the same criteria as was the initial quote.

2. EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will use the criteria set forth below to evaluate and select the awardee. Evaluation criteria consist of two

(2) evaluation factors. The quotes will be evaluated under the following evaluation factors:

Factor 1: Technical Capability Subfactor 1: Permits/Certifications/Registrations Subfactor 2: Technical Understanding

Subfactor 3: Technical Experience

Factor 2: Price

Assigning Ratings: The Technical Capability Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below. To be considered technically acceptable, Vendor must demonstrate the capability to provide the requirements set forth in the SOW. The Government will not roll up subfactors for an overall Factor 1 rating. In order to be considered for award, there must be an “acceptable” rating in every technical subfactor.

Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 1 - Technical Capability.

i. Subfactor 1: Permits/Certifications/Registrations: The Vendor will be evaluated to ensure that it presented proof of its suppliers current registration with the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as drug manufacturers and distributor of medical gases and liquid oxygen. Failure to meet this subfactor will preclude any further evaluation.

ii. Subfactor 2: Technical Understanding. The Vendor’s Technical Understanding must demonstrate a thorough understanding of all the requirements in the PWS. The Vendor will be evaluated as follows:

a. The Vendor demonstrated an acceptable approach to provide the 14 Contractor-owned cylinders as required by the SOW.

b. The Vendor demonstrated an acceptable ability to refill all cylinders with the appropriate FDA approved medical gases and liquid oxygen.

c. The Vendor demonstrated a feasible approach to delivering on-time for the Government on a weekly or emergency basis and demonstrated its thorough understanding of the base access procedures.

d. The Vendor demonstrated a thorough maintenance plan which included tracking mechanisms for proper accountability.

iii. Subfactor 3: Technical Experience. The Vendor’s Technical Experience will be evaluated to ensure that the Vendor has at least three (3) years corporate experience in the type of service industry required by this SOW. The Government will evaluate each Vendors organizational experience on the basis of it depth and its relevance to the work that will be required under the resultant contract.

Factor 2 - Price.

As authorized under FAR Subpart 13, simplified procedures will be used to evaluate offer and award the contract. The Government will evaluate Technical Exhbit 6 (Pricing Spreadsheet) to determine the vendors Total Evaluated Price. Proposed price will be evaluated for reasonableness using the price analysis techniques provided under FAR Part 13.106-3. Price shall be quoted in accordance with the CLIN(s) structure (0001-4006 4008) provided, in the event an award is made. Price quote evaluations will consider the entire ordering period (including FAR 52.217-8 for the maximum potential extension period of 6 months) for a total overall evaluated Price. To calculate the total evaluated price, the Government will take half of the proposed price for Ordering Period 4 and add it to the total for all ordering periods. The Government will roll-up CLIN prices into an overall total price for the overall evaluated price. The unit price shall include a firm fixed price for each priced CLIN. Quotes shall remain valid for a minimum of 60 days. The Government intends to award a contract based on contractor’s responsibility and determination of a fair and reasonable price.

(b) Ordering Periods. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options/ordering periods to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the ordering prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of ordering periods shall not obligate the Government to continue the ordering period (s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Vendor 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.
