2) Contract pricing and Delivery period: All pricing shall be invoiced based on Price Schedule and the Salient Characteristics.

3) Offeror shall submit information supporting past performance in providing , accessories as listed in the Statement of Work.

4) Subject line of e-mail shall be “Quote – 36C24W26Q0215- Electrosurgical Units” mailto:shantelle.mayfield@va.gov mailto:ullainee.fowler@va.gov

5) Offeror must fill out FAR 52.225-2 Buy American Certificate (attached) clearly and correctly for quote to be considered.

II. Pricing: Contractor shall submit pricing, which incorporates all the requirements within the Price Schedule and Statement of Work.

III. 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.

Failure to submit a complete offer may result in an unacceptable determination. Late submissions will be set-aside as unacceptable and will be evaluated only if it benefits the Government.

IV. Basis of Award

The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the vendor, who can provide the supplies to meet this requirement. This is a competitive comparative analysis selection in which competing offeror’s past performance, technical and price will be evaluated to determine who represents the greatest benefit to the Government at a price that can be determined fair and reasonable.

By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement or inability to perform or provide all goods and services requested shall result in an offer being determined technically incapable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

A. Following receipt of quotes, the Government will perform a comparative analysis of the goods and services quoted. The Government will compare quotes to one another to select the vendor that best benefits the Government in fulfilling the requirement. The evaluation of Government requirements outlined in the Request for Quote will determine suitability.

B. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes using the following factors:

1) Past Performance

2) Technical Acceptability

3) Price

Factor 1: Past Performance – The contractor shall provide the following documentation with their offer:

Two (2) references from comparable Government contracts or successful commercial contracts for Logistics Equipment.

Factor 2: Technical Capability – The Contractor shall provide the following documentation with their offer:

Capability Statement, maximum 2 pages which can validate Technical Capability: Capability statement should include a description of technical approach, methodology and technique to provide the Statement of Work promptly, skillfully, and expertly.

Factor 3: Price – The Contractor shall provide the following documentation with their offer:

Pricing: Contractor shall submit unit prices rounded to the nearest hundredth. Prices should be documented on the Price/Cost Schedule. Please ensure unit price and total amounts are correct.

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.

Prices will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Unrealistically high or low proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating an offeror from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic offer. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be reason to reject an offer. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs/prices rests with the offeror. The Government reserves the right to amend the solicitation and remove any set-aside should pricing of all quotes be found unreasonable.
