(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Price: Best Value The quote that meets all requirements and offers other factors that the government considers a best value to the government for the project. Such as, but not limited to, price, materials, delivery time, quality, Years of experience (references or gov contracts completed) American made products, warranty terms, and any other consideration the COR deems important to the decision.

2. All Technical Requirements Met: You may not submit a quote for a product that does not meet ALL requirements as listed in the SOW. You must prove you can provide all the items listed by demonstrating a history of delivering said or like products (years of experience, Gov contracts, references). An SF30 will be posted showing the approved answers to all questions submitted of consequence.

Your signature on this solicitation is your signed statement that you will meet all requirements in the SOW as written without substitution unless you have an approved SF30 allowing the change.

3. Delivery Date: You must be able to deliver all products/services per the schedule.

4. Past Performance: Vendor must not have any negative data in SAM, FAPIIS, CPARS or other report systems.

(Termination For Convenience of the Government) is not an automatic negative entry. Only negative CPARS, SAM, FAPIIS and other reporting system entries will be considered negative. Terminations for (Cause) or (Default) are negative and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if the entry should still be held against the vendor. Technical and past performance, when combined, are in accordance with FAR 15.304, the relative importance of all other evaluation factors, when combined, when compared to price and product offered and delivery time frame, meeting specifications…etc.

5. Data Verification:

All added terms and conditions from vendors are rejected.

Inclusion of any added terms or conditions disqualifies your quote, with the exception of warranties.

You may add warranty information as needed in a separate document.

G: If you would like a term added to the contract, should you be awarded it, request it in your email containing your quote. I will Negotiate its approval with the COR and add it, if we all parties come to an agreement. If the COR finds it unacceptable and negotiation cannot produce a good term, we will not accept the term and you will be informed and have the choice of accepting current terms or dropping your quote with no adverse actions.

b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.
