Special Notes and Instructions:

1. This is a notice that this order is a total set-aside for SB concerns holding NAICS Code 561790 and size standard of $8M annual revenue. Service Contract Act (SCA) Wage Determination 2015-5253, Revision 13, dated 1 June 2021, Occupational Code 23410, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Mechanic. Any quote submitted by a contractor that is not a SB concern, will not be considered for award. The Government will accept only quotes submitted by SB concerns.

2. Basis for Award. 502 CONS/JBKAE will issue a purchase order to the vendor who is determined to offer the best value to the Government. Contract type shall be Firm Fixed Price (FFP). Failure to acknowledge Amendments may result in your quote not being considered for award. To be eligible for award, the offeror must have current Representations and Certifications in accordance with FAR 52.212-3. These are usually attached to the solicitation for offerors to complete; however, in accordance with DFARS 212.301, the contracting officer will consider required data if available electronically (up-to-date and current in the System for Award Management located at https://www.sam.gov/SAM) instead of requiring the offeror to complete these provisions and submit with proposal.

3. Best Value Determination. The offeror who is deemed responsible and responsive with the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote will be determined to represent the best value. Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted requirements that meet the technical criteria that is contained in the SOW, dated 2 June 2021 (Attachment 1). Quotes initially will be ranked from lowest to highest based on total cost.

The Government will then evaluate the three lowest priced quotes for Technical Acceptability. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate the next lowest priced quote until it has determined a technically acceptable quote. The evaluation will stop at the point when the Government determines an offeror to be technically acceptable with the lowest evaluated price, because that offer will represent the best value. Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility, award will be made to that offeror without further evaluation of other offers. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quote is the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable quotes.

4. Interchanges. The Government intends to award a purchase order without interchanges with respective vendors/quoters. The Government however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges if deemed in its best interest.

FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION - COMMERICIAL ITEMS ADDENDUM

Addendum to 52.212-2(a): Paragraph (a) is tailored as follows:

(a) Basis for Award. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed Price contract for this acquisition.

Award will be made to technically acceptable Offerors who are deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104 and whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, and all other information required by this quote. Unless specifically identified in your quote, by submission of its quote, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a quote being determined ineligible for award. This contract will be awarded as Firm Fixed Price (FFP). It is the Government's intent to evaluate quotes and award without interchanges with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quotes should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price, and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary.

1.0 Evaluation Process. The evaluation factor and process to be used is listed below.

1.1 Evaluation Factors. In evaluating quotes, the Government will select the quote that is most advantageous to the Government. To arrive at a decision, only the three lowest quotes will be assessed in accordance with the following evaluation factors for the award:

1.1.1 Technical Evaluation. Only the three lowest quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability.

(A) Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be used to evaluate each quote and will receive one of the following ratings

(i) Acceptable - The quote clearly meets the minimum requirements listed in the SOW, Attachment 1.

(ii) Unacceptable - The quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of this quote and its attachments.

1.1.2 Price Evaluation. Evaluations will be completed by multiplying the Offeror's unit price by the estimated quantity. An offeror's proposed TEP will be determined by multiplying the estimated quantities identified in the Schedule of Supplies by the quoted unit price for each Line Item Number (CLIN). The Government may require submission of information other than cost or pricing data to the extent necessary to evaluate price reasonableness.

1.1.2.2 Evaluation of Factors. Offerors are advised that their initial submission should be their best effort. Only technically acceptable quotes, either initially or as a result of interchanges, are eligible for award. If award is made without interchanges, quote revisions will not be permitted. The Government will evaluate the quotes selected above for technical acceptability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. For the technical quote to be rated as "Acceptable", the technical factor must be rated acceptable. If the technical factor is rated "Unacceptable" the overall quote will be rated as "Unacceptable".

(A) Interchanges. Under appropriate circumstances, interchanges can be an effective method to improve the Government's evaluation of Offerors' quoted approaches and may reduce acquisition cycle time. Interchanges may be written, email, phone call, etc., or any method which would accurately capture the contemporaneous sharing of information between the Government and the Offerors. Interchanges may also be oral conversations between the Government and the Offerors.

(B) Factor # 1 - Submit product descriptions for each item being quoted. The Offeror shall submit product specifications that match the SOW, Statement of Work. The standard has been met when: The offeror provides products that fully conform to the product description requirements specified in the SOW.
