a. Responsive: The Government shall first review all quotes for responsiveness. To be considered Responsive, the contractor must submit, at a minimum:

Contractor quotes that fail to meet the above criteria for responsiveness may be considered “non-responsive” and shall not be evaluated further.

b. Order of Evaluation: The government shall organize all responsive contractor quotes in order from lowest to highest total price. Evaluation shall begin with the quote having the lowest total price.

c. Evaluation:

i. The two (2) lowest total priced quotes shall be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Technical

Acceptability is rated on a Pass/Fail basis against each of the Technical Factors stated below. To be considered “Technically Acceptable,” the contractor’s quote must demonstrate adherence to all the following Technical Factors:

Technical Factor: The contractor shall submit sufficient technical data to allow determination that the product being offered meets all of the Salient Characteristics listed. This should include (1) Manufacturer name and Part Number as well as any other information ( illustrations, product literature, cut sheets, machine specifications, etc.to sufficient to identify all of the Salient Characteristics listed above. If sufficient information is not submitted to illustrate meeting the Salient Characteristics, the quote may be deemed non-responsive and not evaluated further. (NOTE:

webpage references are not considered sufficient support; if the contractor is relying on a manufacturer’s webpage to support the technical requirement, that information must be downloaded and submitted with the quote).

ii After technical evaluation, contract quotes shall be given one of the following ratings:

Technically Acceptable – The quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation to include meeting delivery date.

Technically Unacceptable – The quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation to include delivery date.

If either of the two quotes with the lowest total price is found to be Technically Unacceptable, the quote with the next lowest total price will be evaluated for technical acceptability.

252.204-7024 Notice on the Use of the Supplier Performance Risk System. 2023-03

NOTICE ON THE USE OF THE SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE RISK SYSTEM (MAR 2023)

(a) . As used in this provision- Definitions

"Item risk" means the probability that a product, based on intended use, will introduce performance risk resulting in safety issues, mission degradation, or monetary loss.

"Price risk" means a measure of whether a proposed price for a product or service is consistent with historical prices paid for that item or service.

"Supplier risk" means the probability that an award may subject the procurement to the risk of unsuccessful performance or to supply chain risk (see Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 239.7301).

(b) The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), available at , will be used https://piee.eb.mil/ in the evaluation of the Quoter or Offeror's performance. SPRS retrieves item, price, quality, delivery, and contractor information on contracts from Government reporting systems in order to develop risk assessments.

(c) The Contracting Officer will consider SPRS risk assessments during the evaluation of quotations or offers received in response to this solicitation as follows:

(1) Item risk will be considered to determine whether the procurement represents a high performance risk to the Government.

(2) Price risk will be considered in determining if a proposed price is consistent with historical prices paid for a product or a service or otherwise creates a risk to the Government.

(3) Supplier risk, including but not limited to quality and delivery, will be considered to assess the risk of unsuccessful performance and supply chain risk.

(d) SPRS risk assessments are generated daily. Quoters or Offerors are able to access their risk assessments by following the access instructions in the SPRS user's guide available at https://www.sprs.

. Quoters and Offerors are granted access to SPRS for their own risk csd.disa.mil/reference.htm assessment classifications only. SPRS reporting procedures and risk assessment methodology are detailed in the SPRS user's guide. The method to challenge a rating generated by SPRS is also provided in the user's guide. SPRS evaluation criteria are available at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/pdf
