0. Clarifications:

Offerors may request the Ordering Officer to provide clarification of technical and delivery requirements; however, questions and answers may be shared with all prospective contractors. Proprietary information will be protected, providing the offeror clearly identifies which data are proprietary and the Government agrees with the determination.

0. Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawal of offers:

Quotes received after the deadline as specified in the RFQ are “late” and will not be considered unless it is the only offer received. Offerors may request that the Ordering Officer extend the deadline. If an extension is granted, all contractors who received the RFQ will be notified of the extension. Modifications and revisions must be received prior to the deadline date in order to be considered; however, modifications of an otherwise successful quote that make its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted. Revised offers may be withdrawn by written notice (email is acceptable) at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

0. No Bid/Non Interest:

Offerors are encouraged to indicate no-interest on RFQs issued by the Government. Frequent no-bid, no-interest, or non-responsiveness by any contract holder may result in termination for convenience.

0. Deliveries:

Delivery times are considered critical. On-time and late deliveries will be tracked for all contractors. The Ordering Officer will notify the Contracting Officer of any contractor who is consistently late in making deliveries. This may result in the Contracting Officer making a determination that the contractor is excluded from competition on future orders.

0. Evaluation/Award:

Evalulation and award procedures will be tailored to each acquisition and will typically be issued either on the basis of price alone or with consideration of price and other factors as shown below.

1. Technical (proposing to supply the requested materials and any required certifications).

1. Delivery Date

1. Price

The Government will conduct evaluation of quotes. The Government will select the quotation that offers the greatest value to the Government. Notification will be given only to successful offeror.

0. Orders greater than $25,000.00:

0. Modifications to procedures:

These procedures may only be modified by mutual agreement of the Contracting Officer and all contract holders.

0. FOREIGN MATERIALS PROCESS

Mill certifications showing the mill name and address may be required prior to evaluation of the quote for material originating from a foreign country. As per the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Contracting Officer will evaluate the material based on mill certifications submitted by the contractor in compliance with the Office of Foreign Assets prior to approval of foreign material purchases. While DFARs-compliant material is acceptable, the Government preference is for domestic material.

0. BUY AMERICAN STATUTE

Per the Buy American Statute, the Government will purchase domestic supplies for use in the United States prior to the acquisition of foreign supplies. However, the DOD has determined it inconsistent with the public interest to apply restrictions of the Buy American Statute to the acquisition of qualifying country end products from the qualifying countries listed in the DFARS. As such, a qualifying country end item will be evaluated as equivalent to that of a domestic end item. When a domestic and qualifying country end item is unavailable for acquisition, the Government will procure material from foreign suppliers if it doesn’t fall under any of the restrictions listed in the DFARS and is under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
