(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror 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 offers:

Quotes will be evaluated and ranks according to price, from lowest to highest. The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the technical proposal of the lowest price offeror. Other technical proposals may not be evaluated unless the Government determines the lowest price offeror to be unacceptable or non-responsive. In the event that Government determines the lowest price offeror to be unacceptable, the technical proposal of the next lowest price offeror will be evaluated. This process will continue until a technical proposal is determined to be acceptable.

Technical acceptability will be based on the demonstrated ability to meet the technical requirements, including the delivery requirement. A mere statement that the vendor “will meet the Government’s requirements” is insufficient;

the vendor must demonstrate how it will meet the requirement. Best values will be evaluated on: (1) price; (2) technical acceptability; and (3) period of performance.

To ensure technical compliance with the requirements, vendor quotes shall include the following information:

a. Vendor Specifications. The manufacturer’s name and manufacturer’s complete part numbers of items shall be submitted in the quote.

b. Vendor’s quote shall include an active Cage Code and Federal Tax Identification number. Vendors are required to be registered with SAM database and have an active cage code at the time of submission of quote.

Past performance will be verified via the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

(b) 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.

(c) Quotes are to be submitted via email to jamie.fernandez@usmc.mil at 910-451-1578 by the response date notated on the solicitation.

(d) Questions will not be accepted after 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on 6 February, 2020.
