(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees, or 150 employees for information technology value-added resellers under NAICS code 541519, if the acquisition--

(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation.

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers 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.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) Be advised that the Government is conducting this acquisition using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation is the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). All quotes received from eligible Offerors will be initially evaluated for completeness and conformance with the RFQ instructions. Incomplete and nonconforming quotes will not be further evaluated.

All complete and conforming quotes will be considered in terms of price, lowest to highest, and then the apparent lowest-priced Offeror will be evaluated for acceptability under the Factor 1 - Technical Capability. If the lowest price Offeror is determined technically unacceptable, the acceptability of the next lowest-price Offeror will be evaluated, continuing this process as necessary until the LPTA Offeror is identified. The Government reserves the right at its discretion (but is not required) to seek additional information from the lowest priced Offeror for evaluation and award purposes without seeking information from other Offerors or allowing other Offerors to submit revised quotes.

(b) The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability Factor 2 – Price

A finding of Unacceptable in Factor 1 will result in the entire quote being determined unacceptable and, therefore, ineligible for award. The Government will evaluate the Technical Factor using the following adjectival ratings.

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets all of the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet all of the requirements of the solicitation.

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: The Government will evaluate information submitted by the Offeror for this factor and will make an acceptable or unacceptable rating. Acceptable is defined as the quoted material demonstrates that it meets the salient characteristics identified in section 3.2 (3.2.1 through 3.2.8) of Attachment 1 – Product Description and the RFQ. Unacceptable is defined as the quoted material does not demonstrate that it meets the salient characteristices outlined in Attachment 1 – Product Description and the RFQ.

In addition, The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s technical volume to confirm:

i) The Offeror made the affirmative statement it has the ability to provide:

a) All items listed in subCLIN(s) 0001AA through 0005AC and

b) All items listed in subCLIN(s) 0001AA through 0005AC conform to the salient characteristics in the

Attachment 1 – Product Description.

FACTOR 2 – PRICE: All prices will be evaluated for price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. The Government will evaluate quotes for award based on the Attachment 2 – ELIN Price List Total Evaluated Price.

Pricing for all items is required, otherwise the quote will be considered ineligible for award.

Prior to award, the Government may request additional information/data to support price reasonableness such as a breakout of the CLIN pricing, copies of paid invoices for the same/similar items, sales history for the same or similar items, price list with effective date and or copies of catalogue pages along with any applicable discounts. The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the vendor to support the reasonableness of prices quoted. The method of evaluation is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

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