2.6 MINIMUM QUALITY STANDARDS. Warranty One Year

QUOTATION INFORMATION & REQUIREMENT

Basis of Award: Award will be made to the responsible offeror(s) submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) offer(s) that satisfies all terms and conditions of this solicitation. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each offer: Each non-price factor will be rated as either acceptable or unacceptable. If any of factor is rated as unacceptable, the overall factor rating is unacceptable and the entire proposal is unacceptable.

1. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor A: Technical

Technical Proposal:

a. Proposed items shall meet the salient characteristics defined in the solicitation.

Material requested should be equal to or greater quality than requirement. Offerors shall submit a copy in electronic format of Offeror’s pricelist (with quoted items clearly marked on the pricelist) and related material such as, specifications, brochure/picture, literature of proposed products, or other relevant materials for the government to determine whether or not the proposed products technically meet the Salient Characteristics.

b. Brand Name or Equal: All items are BRAND NAME OR EQUAL in accordance with FAR Clause 52.211-6. Brand name or equal items shall meet or exceed required items. Vendors shall provide technical specifications for all items being submitted, especially if it is an Equal item.

The proposed “equal product” must meet the Salient Physical, Functional, or performance Charateristics specified in the solicitation, and must include the manufacturer’s name and model/part number as applicable. For equal products, copying and pasting salient charateristics as listed in the solicitation for each item without providing supporting documentation and/or information is not acceptable, and will not be considered for an award.

c. Warranty: Offerors shall provide warranty information for items included in the statement of work.

d. Delivery: Offerors shall state its delivery schedule for all items to be delivery destination.

e. FOB Destination for all items.

f. Award will be made all or none basis. Partial quotation/delivery is not acceptable.

g. Delivery shall be made no later than 30 calendar days after award.

Factor B: Past Performance

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the solicitation requirements. This factor will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in below table.

Past Performance will be evaluated based upon offeror’s client’s satisfaction on similar projects within the last 3 years. In determining the acceptability, each offeror shall be required to submit Past Performance Information within the last three (3) years in accordance with responses received to the Proposal

Instruction (Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to the offeror(s)).

The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance from any reasonable source available, including Government databases in order to evaluate past performance.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

* Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)).

Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. “Unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Factor C: Price

Price Proposal: The offerors shall provide a price breakdown in sufficient detail as to permit analysis of the proposal, and include a summary sheet of total cost for this requirement.

NOTE: All Technical Factors are of EQUAL importance. In order for an offer to be technically acceptable, all technical factors shall be determined technically acceptable. If any one factor receives a rating of “unacceptable” the offer will be rated “unacceptable.”

Failure to submit the above requirements may be grounds for determining the proposal to be non- compliant and not eligible to be considered for award.

- FARs 52.212-1 and 52.212-2: The terms “Quotation” and “Quoter” shall be substituted for “Offer” and Offeror”.

- Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the

Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.
