PRODUCT SAMPLE. This Request for Quote (RFQ) DOES NOT require submission of product sample however, if GSA determines it necessary, a product sample may be requested prior to award. The samples must include a label identifying the SOLICITATION NUMBER, OFFEROR’S NAME, PART NUMBER AND CORRESPONDING NSN.

L. FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items (JUN 2010) is incorporated by reference. Replace SF 1449, referenced in this provision with the SF 18.

M. Award will be made in the aggregate to the offeror who represents the best value to the Government utilizing the following evaluation factors: technical acceptability, past performance, and price. Only those quotes that are determined technically acceptable will be evaluated for the past performance and price factors. Past performance and price are approximately equal in importance. As offers become more equal in non-price factors, the total price becomes more important. Pricing must be submitted for both depot locations (if applicable) to be considered for award.

(1) Technical Acceptability: Technical acceptability is defined by the offered item(s) meeting or exceeding the Government’s requirements listed in the Item Purchase Description(s) found on pages 5 through 10.

Provide GSA with the specification sheet for each item with your quote.

(2) Past Performance: Past performance is evaluated as an indicator of an offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully. Past performance evaluation is accomplished as pass/fail assessment rating based on accessing offeror’s past performance history. GSA may use any credible information available on the contractor, or any of its proposed subcontractors, including GSA’s own experience with the contractor, in evaluating past performance. The Government will also use the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), if reports exist for the offeror. The website for PPIRS is www.ppirs.gov. An offeror with no record of past performance of the same general nature or for whom GSA has no information available, is not evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but will be given a neutral rating.

(3) Lowest Evaluated Price: Pricing will be evaluated based on the item’s total price submitted in the block titled “Total Standing Quote Price” in the schedule of items on page 4.

SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED: FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, (JUN 2008) is incorporated by reference. Replace SF 1449 referenced in this provision with the SF18. Paragraph J is found on page 3. FAR 52.212-1(h) is deleted. FAR 52.212-1(b) is supplemented with the following addenda.

FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items (June 2008) is incorporated by reference. This clause is tailored in paragraph (b) Submission of Offers to specify that the following information of commitment letter and product literature is required with offers in addition to the filled out RFQ. Paragraph (h) is replaced with a single agreement will be issued as a result of this RFQ.

1. Technical Description. Provide a statement from your firm that the items offered conform to the Item Purchase Descriptions.

2. Commitment Letter: If the offeror is not the manufacturing production and/or inspection point, please provide a letter of commitment from each manufacturing production and inspection point. The commitment letters must be typed on the supplier’s letterhead indicating that they will supply items under this SQA. This letter is required at the time of initial offer submission and must be typed on the supplier's original letterhead, dated, direct telephone number, email address, and signed by an officer of the company (title of the signee) who can legally commit the company, and the letter must address as a minimum, the following:

1) Reference Solicitation number QSDLAC-C2-11-1454-SQ.

2) The commitment letter must be signed by an officer of the company who is authorized to commit their company in this matter;

3) A statement of conformance to the Item Purchase Descriptions (IPDs);

4) Verification that all packaging, marking and palletization requirements will be met;

5) A statement of how long the commitment is valid;

6) A statement that the supplier will provide the entire One (1) year quantity and can meet the delivery time required of 30 days ARO;

7) A statement as to the country of origin of the item;

8) The commitment letter must include an original signature on the supplier’s letterhead, title of the signee, a direct telephone number and e-mail address.

If the letter does not address these things your offer may not be considered for evaluation.

O. Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, so as to reach the Government office designated in the RFQ by the time specified (See Block 10). It is preferred that each offer package be submitted as in attachment to the RFQ response via email. If offer is received later than the exact time specified in block 10 of the RFQ, it will be considered “late” and will not be accepted.

P. This is notice that the Government intends to evaluate offers and award will be made on initial quotes, and advises offerors to submit their best terms and prices in their initial quotation.

NOTE****FAILURE TO PROVIDE ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION AT TIME OF OFFER MAY RESULT IN YOUR OFFER NO LONGER BEING EVALUATED OR CONSIDERED FOR AWARD. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION SHEETS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS ARE REQUIRED WITH YOUR OFFER.

The containers or items shall be placed in a suitable pattern to form a stable and balanced load. Vertical, horizontal or filler reinforcement shall be added as necessary to meet the stacking strength requirements. A palletized load shall be secured to the pallet by shrink or stretch wrapping, and/or, by steel or nonmetallic strapping.

SCHEDULING OF DELIVERIES TO GSA FACILITIES (FEB 2005)

(a) General: This clause sets forth the scheduling requirements regarding deliveries to the General Services Administration (GSA) facilities listed below.
