52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees if the acquisition--

(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Intentionally omitted.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

To demonstrate its past performance, the offeror shall identify up to five (5) of its most relevant contracts performed within five (5) years of the solicitation closing date. Those contracts must also reflect one year of completed performance by the solicitation closing date. Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts to the requirements of the solicitation.

For purposes of the past performance factor of this solicitation, a contract is defined as (i) a single contract that is not an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, a blanket purchase agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract (also known as a GSA Schedule contract), (ii) a single delivery order (DO), task order (TO), technical direction letter (TDL), or technical area task (TAT) issued under an IDIQ contract, a BPA, or an FSS contract, or (iii) a combination of no more than three (3) DOs, TOs, TDLs, and/or TATs issued under an IDIQ contract, BPA, or FSS contract. Offerors shall not submit an IDIQ contract, BPA, or FSS contract as a reference.

Offerors may submit a combination of no more than three (3) DOs, TOs, TDLs, and/or TATs issued under an IDIQ contract, BPA, or FSS contract as one of the examples of past performance. Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation closing date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance by the solicitation closing date. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs, and/or TATs is used as a past performance example, the offeror shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each.

A past performance example that does not detail clearly the percentage and types of work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform may not be evaluated.

If a past performance example in which the offeror or a proposed subcontractor served as a subcontractor is submitted, the past performance submission shall detail clearly the work that the offeror or proposed subcontractor performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of only that work. A past performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort may not be evaluated.

The past performance of proposed subcontractors that will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as the offeror’s past performance.

Failure of offerors to provide the required information and level of specificity may result in the past performance example not being evaluated.

Regarding joint ventures, work done individually by a member of the joint venture and work done by the joint venture itself will be considered. Joint venture references must meet the requirements stated above: they must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation closing date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance by the solicitation closing date. Additionally, if a joint venture member submits a past performance reference, the joint venture member shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of only that work. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the joint venture member’s effort may not be evaluated. The past performance of a joint venture member that will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as the joint venture’s past performance.

Offerors shall complete the Attachment 2 “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted.

Offerors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the Attachment 3 “Past Performance Report Form” and e-mail the completed form directly to Mark Stumpo at mark.stumpo@navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION.
