5.1 EVALUATION FACTORS

This will be awarded based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). To be considered technically acceptable the Quoter shall quote all required products and meet the requirements specified in section 2.0 DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS. Partial quotes will not be accepted or evaluated and will be deemed non-responsive to this requirement.

The Government will award a single award order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Contractor whose offer, conforming to the solicitation and will provide the best offer that satisfies the Government’s requirements. The Government will begin evaluation with lowest priced quotation and continue until a Technically Acceptable quotation is received for award.

Before the Contractor’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer) without discussions or with or without negotiations unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. The Government specifically reserves the right to accept an offer based solely on the Contractor’s quote. The Government specifically reserves the right to remove from award consideration any Contractor’s proposal that does not conform to all requirements of the RFQ. The Government reserves the right not to make an award. Award is dependent upon the quality of the quotes submitted (Acceptability), is contingent upon the availability of funds, and any other related factors.

Conditions:

“Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable” Evaluation Standards & Definitions Acceptable All of the minimum acceptable criteria are clearly met by the offer. The Offeror’s offer meets the performance and technical capability requirements defined in the RFQ. Once the Offeror’s offer has been determined to be “technically acceptable,” award will be based on cost only.

Unacceptable Not all of the minimum acceptable criteria are met by the offer. An unacceptable offer contains one or more deficiencies. Offer fails to meet specified minimum performance and technical capability requirements defined in the RFQ. Once the Offeror’s offer has been determined to be “technically unacceptable,” it will not be considered for award.

The Government will incur no costs associated with the preparation of this quote.

The potential awardee will undergo a Security review by the FBI for suitability to do work with the government underneath this effort. This shall include a Product Risk Assessment (PRA). Should the FBI determine a Quoter is not suitable to receive an award from the FBI, the Government is under no obligation to provide additional information regarding the Security analysis as part of the process. Any additional Security information provided will be solely at the Government’s discretion and subject to all applicable security restrictions.

6.0 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Quotes shall be submitted through NASA SEWP. Quotes sent by email will not be accepted.

7.0 INVOICING

The FBI requires vendors to submit invoices and supporting documentation electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).

IPP is a secure, web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Treasury) in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRSTL). IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency. To learn more about IPP, please visit IPP.gov.

The following sections provide important information regarding FBI’s electronic invoicing requirements.

Invoice Submission

Vendors are required to create and submit electronic invoices using the IPP system. Invoices submitted by email will not be accepted. This requirement applies immediately upon contract award.

Never submit an invoice to both IPP and Central Invoicing.

Obtaining IPP Access

If your company has already enrolled in IPP:

You will not be required to re-register. Please contact your company's IPP account administrator so that he/she may add you as an additional user to your company’s IPP Collector account.

If your company has NOT enrolled in IPP:

Your company will be auto-enrolled for IPP using information from your SAM.gov account. Your company's Primary Electronic Business Point of Contact (POC) will be designated as an IPP administrator. This POC will be contacted by email to register when the FBI initiates the enrollment http://www.ipp.gov/ process through IPP. To prevent enrollment delays, please ensure your designated Electronic Business POC in SAM.gov is up to date.

Your company’s IPP administrator will be responsible for initial account registration as well as creating and managing your company’s IPP users and permissions. Please note that due to U.S. Department of the Treasury guidelines, IPP cannot set up User IDs using a shared email address.

How to register for IPP:

1. Once FBI initiates the enrollment process, your company’s designated Electronic Business POC in SAM.gov will receive two emails from IPP Customer Support (ipp.noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov):

• The first email contains the initial administrative IPP User ID

• The second email, sent within 24 hours of receipt of the first email, contains a temporary password

• You must log in with the temporary password within 30 days

2. Registration is complete when the initial administrative user logs into the IPP web site with the User ID and password provided and accepts the IPP rules of behavior. Additional user accounts, including administrators, can be created after initial login.

Training

Vendor training materials, including a first-time login tutorial, are available on the IPP.gov website.

Once you have logged in to the IPP application, you will have access to user guides that provide step-by-step instructions for all IPP capabilities ranging from creating and submitting an invoice to setting up email notifications.

Live webinars are held monthly and provide a great opportunity to learn the basics of the system. See IPP.gov for more details.

Additional Support

IPP Customer Support Team is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm EST

• Phone: (866) 973-3131

• Email: IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

• For answers to frequently asked questions, visit the Vendor FAQ page on the IPP.gov web site.

For general questions related to the FBI’s transition to IPP, please send an email to IPP@fbi.gov.

We appreciate your patience and participation as we make this transition.
