52.212-1 ADDENDUM

INSTRUCTIONS TO QUOTERS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

GENERAL INTENTION. Marine Corps Installations – National Capital Region (MCI-NCR) has a commercial requirement for insignia, badges, and uniform accessories to support the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’

Training Corps (MCJROTC). In accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13, the MCI-NCR Regional Contracting Office is issuing a commercial solicitation for the acquisition of such supply. Required specifications are listed in Schedule of Supplies/Services within this solicitation.

CUSTOMER. Marine Corps Base Quantico

MCJROTC

Various locations provided in Lot List

PROCUREMENT APPROACH. The Contractor’s quoted item descriptions shall reflect the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the Government’s need as described in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. A single firm-fixed price award will be issued and it is the Government’s intent to award on an “all-or-none” basis to satisfy this requirement.

This solicitation is a total set-aside for small business concerns. Only quotes submitted by small business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote that is submitted by a contractor that is not a small business concern will not be considered for award.

PAYMENT TERMS. NET 30. Invoices must be submitted via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7006 which is included in this solicitation.

TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE. To ensure technical compliance:

a. The quoter shall provide a detailed response that clearly demonstrates how the proposed product meets the minimum requirements to each salient characteristic. This shall include descriptive literature outlining the specifications of the items quoted. The manufacturer's name and manufacturer's complete part number of all items quoted shall be submitted in the quote. A mere statement that the quoter will meet the Government’s requirement is NOT sufficient.

b. Clearly state whether the quoter can meet the requested delivery date. If not, then state the best delivery date.

c. All offerors must complete paragraph (d)(2) within the provision at 52.204-24 of the solicitation. It is recommended to copy and paste the provision in a separate Word document and include it with your quote.

SUBMISSION OF QUOTES. Quotes shall be submitted no later than the time and date specified on Block 8 of page

1 of the SF1449 solicitation. Quotes shall be submitted electronically via electronic mail (e-mail) to Melissa Chabot at melissa.chabot@usmc.mil. Vendors are responsible for ensuring their quotes have been received via email by the date and time specified in Block 8 on Page 1 of this solicitation. Delivery delays that cause a quote to be late are not the responsibility of the Government agency.

Quoters shall provide their full vendor name and any doing business as names as certified in the mandatory System for Awards Management at www.sam.gov. Quotes shall also include a vendor point of contact information (name, phone, and email), Cage Code, and Tax ID (TIN/EIN) number.

52.212-2 http://www.sam.gov/

EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

EVALUATION. The quote(s) will be evaluated on Technical Capability and Price. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price award to satisfy this requirement. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of offers submitted.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with vendors. Vendors should not expect requests for clarification or additional information from the Government. Award will be based on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to the solicitation. Therefore, quoters are cautioned that their initial quotes should contain their best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The

Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

The following ratings/definitions will be utilized:

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

The Government may use information such as DoD PPIRS, SPRS and FAPIIS data available from Government sources to evaluate a Quoter's past performance.

PRICING. The price quote should avoid ambiguities of inclusion, exclusion, or content. The Government will evaluate Quoter’s quoted prices, but this factor will not be given an adjectival rating. Quotes will be evaluated on completeness, accuracy, and reasonableness. Evaluation of the quoted prices for the services will be based on a comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and may also be based on a comparison to the

Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) along with any other relevant price analysis techniques.

Reasonableness. For the price to be reasonable in its nature and amount, it should not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive business. Reasonableness takes into account the context of a given source selection, including current market conditions, general economic conditions, and other factors that affect the ability of a Quoter to perform the contract requirements. Normally, adequate price competition establishes a fair and reasonable price.

Completeness and Accuracy. The Government will review the quotes for completeness and accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the Quoter properly completed the pricing tables. The Quoter’s quote will be checked for mathematical correctness to include the following:

1) Checking arithmetic in all computations; and

2) Ensuring all prices are summarized correctly.

(End of provision)
