Paragraph (n): Basis for Award: The Government is utilizing simplified acquisition procedures defined under FAR Subpart 13 as authorized by FAR Subpart 13.5. The Government intends to issue at least one award but reserves the right to issue multiple awards; one awardee per addenda location for a maximum of five total awards. The Government reserves the right not to issue awards for any addenda location due to technically unacceptable quote and/or if pricing cannot be determined reasonable. The Government intends to issue award(s) based upon initially submitted quotes and without the ability of offerors to submit a quote revision.

However, the Government reserves the right to request additional information from the lowest price quoter without seeking information from other quoters. The Government also reserves the right to request clarifications, hold exchanges, and request revised quotes from any offeror. Any exchanges shall not be considered discussions. Offerors are encouraged to submit their best offer with quoted products representing their best pricing. Award will be issued to the quote determined Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

In order to determine a quote technically acceptable:

(1) The Government will first ensure all quotes received are from small businesses associated with the NAICS code for this procurement action. Any quotes received from large business firm will not be considered.

(2) The Government will review submitted Representations and Certifications and will ensure submission is complete and accurate. Additionally, the Government will review each offerors exclusion list under the System for Award Management (SAM), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) information, and information under the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for the NAICS code 339920 and PSC of 8465. Failure to complete provisions and discovery of any adverse findings under these three databases may result in your firm’s quote no longer being considered for award.

Procurement is subject to the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment (textiles and tools). Offerors are required to disclose the country of origin for all listed items. DoD has determined it inconsistent with public interest to apply restrictions of the Buy American statute or Balance of Payments Program to the acquisition of qualifying country end products. List of qualifying countries are located under Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplemental (DFARS) 225.872-1. Any proposed product that is not domestically manufactured or from a qualified country as defined under DFARS 225.872-1 may be rejected. Any items subject to the Berry Amendment, textiles and tools, are required to be made in the United States unless an exemption applies.

(3) The Government will determine the Lowest Price Quote by Addenda. In order to determine the lowest price by addenda, the Government will sum the unit prices of all components (excluding the three Kits) across all ordering periods for the specific addenda. The sum of this value shall be considered the total evaluated price for the specific addenda. This will be repeated for all Addenda 02A through 02E. Each quote associated with the lowest total evaluated price by addenda will then be analyzed to ensure the non-brand name products satisfy the item description. If the lowest price quote for the specific addenda is associated with proposed items satisfying the Governments requirements, the quote will be evaluated as described below. As stated above, the Government may (but is not required) to request additional information from the lowest price quoter and make award using that additional information without asking for information from other quoters; such exchange would not be discussions. If the lowest total evaluated priced quote is considered unacceptable, the next lowest total evaluated price for the addenda will be analyzed as described below until a LPTA awardee is selected. If no awardee is determined acceptable, the Government reserves the right to not issue an award for the addenda location:

(i) Technical submission. Quotes will be evaluated for technical acceptability through review of the offerors proposed technical experience. An acceptable rating is defined as the offerors experience involved providing components and/or kits similar in nature to the components and kits included in the Governments product description and associated Addenda 02A, involved delivery of multiple kits/products to multiple locations conducted concurrently, involved geographically dispersed delivery locations, and was associated with a dollar value of $100,000 or greater. Any offer receiving an unacceptable rating will no longer be considered.

(ii) Price: The Government will review unit pricing for each addenda and will determine proposed pricing fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. The Government may decline to issue an award if pricing cannot be determined reasonable.
