The Government reserves the right to issue purchase order for all, some, or none of the contents of this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers and are listed in descending order of importance:

i. Acceptability

Offers must conform with technical acceptable criteria below:

Rating Description

The Government reserves the right to deem offers significantly beyond the 90 day acceptable delivery period unacceptable. Offers that exceed a total delivery period of 90 calendar days ARO may be still be considered acceptable if it is determined to be in the Government’s best interest.

The Contracting Officer shall conduct a price analysis in accordance with FAR 12.209.

Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. The Government is more concerned with obtaining the best value than with making an award at the lowest overall price to the Government. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to obtain an offer that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation and/or specifications.

B. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, emailed 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), unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

XIII. BASIS FOR AWARD / EVALUATION PROCEDURES:

a. The Government will first evaluate offers for acceptability. Offers will then be evaluated based on price. Offers will additionally be evaluated with consideration of delivery time, if the offer exceeds the acceptable delivery period, the Government reserves the right to rate the offer as technically unacceptable. Award will then be made to the technically acceptable offer determined to represent the best value to the Government. If only one “Acceptable” offer is received, the Government will attempt to determine price to be fair and reasonable through means other than competition.

b. Award will be made on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to this

RFQ. Therefore, offerors are cautioned to ensure that initial quotes contain your best terms from a technical and price standpoint. Offerors are further advised that any affirmative response in regards to FAR 52.204-24(d) will be reviewed to determine if award is in the best interest of the government. If award is not in the best interest of the government, the government reserves the right to determine the quote ineligible for award.
