BASIS FOR AWARD:

The Government intends to award a commercial firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the requirements of this combined synopsis/solicitation.

(Note: See RFO FAR 52.212-2 for evaluation criteria detailed herein).

In accordance with RFO FAR 52.212-1(d), the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors.

Quotes will be evaluated in accordance with RFO FAR 52.212-2, “Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)”:

Technical and Past Performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis.

*Offerors with no recent and relevant history in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) will not receive an unacceptable past performance rating and will instead receive a Not Applicable (N/A).

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
