52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY (JUN 1997)

(a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:

REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

Within 180 Days of Contract Award

Item No. Quantity of Contract: 1

The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

OFFEROR'S PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

Within Days

After Date

Item No. Quantity of Contract

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

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--

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) The Government will award a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract resulting from this solicitation/request for quote to the responsible offeror/quoter whose offer/quote conforms to the solicitation/request for quote and provides the Lowest Price that is Technically Acceptable offer to the Government. The following evaluation factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The evaluation factors are provided below:

(a) Evaluation Process and Criteria of the Technical Submittal Package

Offers will be evaluated using the following factors, to select the offer that provides the Government with a technically acceptable offer at the lowest price:

(1) Factor 1 – Kennel Housing Unit Technical Requirement and Specification (See Section 3.0 on Product Description Above)

(2) Factor 2 – Price (Fill-in price on SF-1449)

(3) Factor 3 – Delivery Schedule

(b) The evaluation criteria are as follows:

(1) Factor 1 – Kennel Housing Unit Technical Specification

The quote will be evaluated to determine if the quoter has submitted the technical specification required in the Product Description above.

This factor will be evaluated as Acceptable/Unacceptable as stated in Table 1 below.

Table 1 – Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Adjectival Ratings:

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum technical requirements of the RFQ

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum technical requirements of the RFQ

Basis of Evaluation:

The Quoter whose quote submission has earned an Acceptable Rating for each of the elements of technical specification while also having the lowest price will be then considered for award pending a contracting officer’s determination of responsibility of the subject quoter. Only quoters whose technical submittal package is complete and rated Acceptable overall will be moved into the Price and Delivery Schedule Evaluation phases.

(2) Factor 2 – Price

Only quotes that have been rated Overall ‘Acceptable’ in Factor 1 – Kennel Housing Unit Technical Specification shall be further evaluated for Factor 2 – Price. An adjectival rating will not be assigned to the Price factor; rather, Price will be evaluated for completeness and fair and reasonable determination in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a). The Quoter shall provide this SF-1449 signed by the authorized business agent with the pricing in United States Dollars filled in for each Contract Line Item (CLIN) and the total of all CLINS on the SF 1449.

Quoters are advised to offer your best and final price in this one-time quote.

1. Completeness: All price information/data required in the RFQ has been submitted. All CLINs listed in the RFQ shall be priced in United States Dollars.

2. Reasonableness: Price is fully justified and supported and is considered fair under current market conditions. Reasonableness may be determined by comparison with the Government estimate, comparison with other Quotes received, or any other applicable price analysis technique outlined in FAR 13. The Contracting Officer must determine the Quoter’s price to be fair and reasonable in order for the Quote to be eligible for award.

The Government reserves the right to determine which Quotes show the capability to meet the requirements of this RFQ. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from further consideration those Quotes which are considered unacceptable and not capable of being made acceptable without major rewrite or revision. The Government plans to award without discussions.

(3) Factor 3 – Delivery Schedule
