All potential offerors and quoters are required to be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) at time an offer or quotation is submitted in order to comply with the annual representation and certification requirements [(FAR 4.1102 Policy 01/17/2025)]. Offerors and quoters shall include their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) in their quotes (FAR 52.212-1(j). The Contracting Officer will verify registration before award by entering the potential awardee’s UEI number into the SAM’s database. Failure to complete the registration procedures outlined in this clause will result in elimination from consideration for an award. Offerors and quoters are asked to comply with the specifications on the solicitation. Substitutions will not be accepted.

Offerors and quoters must be able to accept Government purchase cards for payment. The form of payment is solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

The evaluation factors are Price and Past Performance (i.e. poor past performance, failure to deliver awarded items within timelines, not meeting required specifications, etc.). The Price will be rated higher than Past Performance. The Government will award items in groups as described in the solicitation, to one or more offerors whose offer conforms to the solicitation and is the most advantageous to the Government.

Failure to deliver awarded items within the established time frames in the solicitation will be considered as non-conformance under terms of the contract and the order may be canceled.
