52.204-9001 CONTRACT/ORDER CLOSEOUT—FIXED-PRICE, TIME-AND-MATERIALS, OR LABOR-HOURS (JAN 2007)

Timely contract closeout is a priority under this contract/order. The Contractor shall submit a final invoice within ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of this contract/order, unless the Contractor requests and is granted an extension by the Contracting Officer, in writing. In addition, and concurrent with the submission of the final invoice, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of the amount of excess funds that can be deobligated from this contract/order so the closeout process can begin as soon as possible upon expiration of this contract/order. A bilateral contract/order closeout modification will be forwarded to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer and must be signed by the Contractor and returned to the Contracting Officer within thirty (30) calendar days of issuance of the modification. A Contractor’s failure to respond and/or sign the bilateral closeout modification within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to deobligate excess funds and close this contract/order.

If this contract/order contains option periods, the Contractor is required to submit an invoice within ninety (90) calendar days after expiration of the base period of performance and the expiration of each exercised option period of performance to allow for deobligation of excess funds that were obligated in those respective periods of performance.

The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in SAM, or does not have a representation in SAM for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was completed:

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

M-1 BASIS FOR AWARD

a. The Government intends to conduct the acquisition in accordance with FAR Part 15 – Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, and the DISA Acquisition Regulation Supplement. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is technically acceptable and offers the lowest price to the Government using LPTA evaluation process.

b. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements; in addition to those identified as factors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation will result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions, and must provide complete supporting rationale. In order to be eligible for award, the contractor’s proposal must sufficiently address all aspects of the CLIN. The below evaluation factors and subfactors will be used in the determination of technical acceptability.

c. The government intends to award one firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation; however, the government reserves the right to make no award at all.

M-2 EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

Offerors are cautioned to ensure that their proposals are complete, address all requirements of the solicitation, are reflective of the evaluation criteria set forth in Section M, and are submitted on the most favorable terms. After receipt of proposals, the Government will first evaluate the lowest price proposal. If the lowest price proposal is determined to be technically acceptable and otherwise properly awardable, no further evaluations will be conducted, and award will be made. If, however, the lowest price proposal is determined to be technically unacceptable and/or otherwise not properly awardable, further evaluations will be conducted.

In response to this solicitation, no terms, conditions, or assumptions will be entertained. If terms, conditions, or assumptions are included in a proposal, the proposal may be excluded because it failed to comply with the solicitation instructions.

M-3 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The factors and subfactors, when applicable, are of equal importance. Award will be made to the offeror who meets all technical requirements with the lowest evaluated price. The evaluation factors and subfactors are described below.

(a) Technically Acceptable Quote: The Technical Subfactors will be evaluated and rated either Acceptable or Unacceptable. The technical quote will be evaluated on the offeror's understanding of requirements and whether the quote fully meets the requirement. In order for a quote to be rated overall Technically Acceptable, ALL subfactors must be rated Acceptable. Failure to be found technically acceptable will result in the offeror being ineligible for award. The following factor shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Factor: Technical

Subfactor 1: For the purposes of this procurement only, an authorized reseller is defined as an entity authorized by the OEM to sell their products to the Federal Government and to provide support for the OEM items, including new releases, version upgrades, revisions, corrections of reported errors, enhancements (to include instructions for implementation and operation for all software support levels and product versions), technical support, contractor resolutions to problems or failures, and the most current commercial release or version of the software.

Offerors’ proposals shall demonstrate the ability to provide the hardware maintenance and software support listed in the CLINs as required by this solicitation.

The letter from the OEM shall not be older than 90 days from the date proposals are due, shall be submitted on the OEM's letterhead, and shall be signed by an authorized representative of the OEM.

Subfactor 2: Offerors shall propose all products on the CLINS of the solicitation.

(2) Price Factor: The total evaluated price will consist of the sum of the offeror’s proposed price for all CLINs for the base period. Price proposals will be evaluated to determine if they are reasonable and complete.
