Quotes are due, via e-mail only, no later than 1200 [noon] Eastern Time 12 September 2022 to amber.m.lizotte.civ@us.navy.mil. Responses shall include the solicitation number, name, address, and telephone number of the offeror. Proprietary data in the responses will be protected where so designated. Please fill out all applicable provisions and clauses.

It is the quoter’s responsibility to submit a proposal that enables government evaluators to effectively evaluate and substantiate the validity of any assertions set forth in the quoter’s proposal.

Assume the government has no prior knowledge of a quoter’s facilities and experience.

Accordingly, do not simply rephrase or restate the government's requirements. Statements that the quoter will provide a particular feature, objective, or outcome without explaining how the quoter proposes to meet that feature, objective, or outcome are generally inadequate and may adversely impact the government’s evaluation assessment of the quoter. It is the quoter’s responsibility to draft a logical, unambiguous proposal that contains all pertinent information in sufficient detail so that government evaluators are able to meaningfully evaluate the quoter’s proposed approach and price.

For information or questions regarding this RFQ, contact the cognizant Contract Specialist, Amber Lizotte at amber.m.lizotte.civ@us.navy.mil or Bryan Walsh, Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) at bryan.s.walsh2.civ@us.navy.mil.

(b) Quoters shall identify and address assumptions, deviations, and exceptions. Full explanation and justification of assumptions, deviations, and exceptions must be provided. Failure to provide a full explanation and justification for any assumption, deviations, and exceptions may result in the exclusion of the Quoter from consideration for award. In addition, assumptions, conditions, exceptions, and deviations may cause the Quoters RFQ to be considered “Unacceptable” and, thus, not awardable. If no assumptions, deviations or exceptions are taken to the solicitation terms and conditions, a statement to that effect is required.

Quoters are reminded that the proposed prices for each CLIN shall be inclusive of all costs to complete the requirements (i.e. travel, material, labor, etc.).

Quotations should include the Quoter’s best pricing; including all discounts, as there may not be another opportunity to offer further discounts.

4.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA

Evaluation Factors and Process. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

TECHNICAL (Volume 2)

PRICE (Volume 3)

The Government will evaluate quotes received in response to this RFQ using the Lowest-Price-Technically- Acceptable (LPTA) methodology. Quoters should submit its best terms in the initial quotation. The quotation must demonstrate to the Government’s satisfaction that the Quoter will provide a quality supply or service that will ensure the successful accomplishment of the requirements and overall program objectives.

The Government will evaluate the quotation offering the lowest price first. If the Technical volume of the quotation offering the lowest price is found unacceptable, then the Government will evaluate the next lowest priced quotation's Technical volume. Next, the Government will review the Price volume from the quoter that submitted the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation to determine whether the price is fair and reasonable. If that quotation’s price is fair and reasonable, the Government will complete a responsibility determination, and if the Government finds the quoter responsible, then the evaluation process stops as that quotation represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quotations.

The lowest evaluated price of quotation shall meet or exceed the acceptability standards for the Technical Factor. The Government will evaluate quotations against the minimum requirements set out in the RFQ to determine whether the quotation is "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" using the ratings and descriptions provided in the evaluation ratings listed below:

Table A: Definition of Evaluation Ratings

ACCEPTABLE (A) The quotation meets the minimum requirements of the RFQ.

UNACCEPTABLE (U)

The quotation does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the

RFQ.

4.1 SPECIFIC EVALUATION CRITERIA/BASIS FOR AWARD

I. VOLUME 1: ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLETENESS

The Government will evaluate Volume 1 to verify that the requested information of Section 4.b, paragraph I, subparagraphs (a) through (c) has been provided. That information may be necessary for a quote to be acceptable for award. Any questions to Quoters to resolve issues with that information are not considered deficiencies that make a contractor unacceptable for award, even if the information is necessary for award, unless the Quoter refuses to provide the requested information.

II. VOLUME 2: TECHNICAL APPROACH & DELIVERY

The Government will evaluate Volume 2 utilizing the Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. A quotation may be deemed “Unacceptable” if the quotation merely repeats or restates the SOW words or make statements lacking the required information.

(a) An acceptable delivery schedule is one that meets the Government’s requirement to complete the SOW requirements no later than 28 April 2023.
