ORDERING PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION

The Government intends to allow all contract holders a fair opportunity to compete for orders under this requirement. Orders estimated at greater than $10,000.00 will be competed among contract holders. For purposes of this requirement, order is defined as the total estimated value of an entire order, and not individual line items or single unit price.

REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ)

The Ordering Officer designated under the contracts will issue a request for quotation, via electronic mail.

This request will include:

a. RFQ # and or PLAN#

b. Item(s) description

c. Quantity

d. Delivery date

e. Delivery point

f. Specifications and other documents, if necessary

g. Certifications requirements, if necessary

h. Quotation submission deadline (date and time)

i. Evaluation and award procedures

CONTRACTOR’S QUOTE

The contractor’s quote shall include, as a minimum:

a. Unit price

b. Total order price, including shipping

c. Proposed delivery date

d. Origin of proposed materials

e. Other information as delineated in each RFQ

f. If subcontracting is contemplated, the quote shall include:

1. Name, address of subcontractor

3. NAICS Code for work or items provided by subcontractor

4. Price

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.

LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, REVISIONS, AND WITHDRAWL 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 Revised offers may be withdrawn by written notice (email is acceptable) at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

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.

DELIVERIES

Delivery times are considered critical. On-time and late deliveries will be tracked for all contractors.

Consideration to revise the delivery date may be proposed by vendors but must be of value to the Government. (Suggestions include free/expedited shipping, product discount, additional product, invoice reduction, etc.) Collection of consideration for late delivery will result in a modification to the Order. The scheduled delivery date will be changed to reflect the actual delivery date and Past Performance will NOT be impacted negatively. 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 on a case-by-case basis that the contractor is excluded from competition on future orders.

EVALUATION/AWARD

Evaluation and award procedures for Delivery Orders placed during the ordering period of the contract 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 (trade-off) as shown below. The evaluation and award procedures to be followed for each order will be indicated in the individual RFQs.

1. Low Price Technically Acceptable Evaluation the Government may issue an order resulting from the RFQ to the lowest price offeror with satisfactory past performance whose offer conforms to the RFQ.

2. Tradeoff The Government may issue an order resulting from the RFQ to the offeror whose offer conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

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

b. Delivery Date

c. Past Performance

d. 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 the successful offeror.

ORDERS UP TO $10,000.00

Orders estimated to be valued at $10,000 or less may be issued without a RFQ and issued to any contract awardee at the discretion of the Ordering Officer. However, the Government reserves the right to request a quote from any or all contract awardees.

ORDERS BETWEEN $10,000.00 AND $25,000.00

Orders estimated to be valued over $10,000.00 but less than $25,000.00 will be compteted using the procedures described herein. The resulting order will be issued by the Ordering Officer.

ORDERS GREATER THAN $25,000.00

Orders that are estimated to exceed $25,000.00 will be competed using the procedures described herein; however, any ensuing orders will be issued on a SF 1449 by the Contracting Officer.

MODIFICATIONS TO PROCEDURES

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

Section I - Contract Clauses

Addendum to FAR 52.216-22 The maximum combined value of all orders issued under the awarded contracts for solicitation N6893618R0058 shall not exceed $11,500,000. The minimum guarantee under this contract is $_*__, satisfied by the initial order.
