Offerors response to this RFQ shall include both a Price Quote and a Technical Quote. Any quote, modification, revision, or withdraw of a quote received after the exact time specified above shall be determined as late and will not be considered unless received before the award is finalized, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the acquisition, and it was the only quote received.

5. Basis for Award. 502d CONS/JBKAB will issue a firm fixed price purchase order to the vendor who is found to be responsive, responsible, and who provides the best value at the lowest fair and reasonable price for the requirement. The Government intends to make one (1) single award from the solicitation based on available funds.

6. Best Value Determination. For this procurement, the Best Value determination will be made based on Lowest

Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote. Only technically acceptable quotes are eligible for award. The following process will be followed:

(i) Quotes initially will be ranked based on total evaluated price. Total evaluated price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Bid Schedule (above) by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN). The extended amounts for each CLIN will then be totaled for an overall Total Evaluated Price.

(ii) If three (3) or fewer quotes are received, the Government will evaluate all quotes for technical acceptability. If more than three (3) quotes are received, the Government will evaluate the three (3) lowest priced quotes for technical acceptability. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if deemed to be in the Government’s best interest. If additional quotes are evaluated for technical acceptability, they will be evaluated in the order of total evaluated price.

(iii) The technical evaluation team will evaluate the factor identified below. For the quote to be technically acceptable, all aspects of the technical factor noted below must be rated as acceptable. The failure of an Offeror to meet any or all of the technical criteria will result in a technically unacceptable rating and be ineligible for award. The technical factors will receive one of the ratings listed below: • Acceptable: Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. • Unacceptable: Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(iv) Technical Factors. The Government will evaluate the quotes for technical acceptability, assigning ratings as described in paragraph (iii) above. The failure of a quote to meet any or all of the technical criteria will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award.

A. FACTOR 1 – Salient Characteristics. Offeror shall meet all the requirements detailed in the attached salient characteristics for all CLINs. Offeror shall include manufacturer(s), part number(s), true illustrations, actual literature, actual specifications, or description to support that the quoted items meet all Salient Characteristics for each item required.

The standard has been met when:

The offeror clearly demonstrates and identifies that the quoted items meet all Salient Characteristics detailed in the attachment. Quotes shall be accompanied with manufacturer(s), part number(s), true illustrations, actual literature, actual specifications, or descriptions for furniture every item quoted.

(v) Price Evaluation. The Government will then conduct a price evaluation of the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote to determine the price fair and reasonable.

(vi) Interchanges. The Government may hold interchanges with offerors that have the highest potential to offer the best value. These issues may be technical or price, or deal with contract documentation including any other matter in the evaluation process. Resolution of minor or clerical issues would not constitute interchanges and the Government reserves the right to award without the opportunity to revise proposals.

7. Brand Name or Equivalent. When using an “Equivalent product” to substitute the requested brand name product, the contract must include, at a minimum, the following: (1) MFG name, (2) Part Number, (3) illustrations, and (4) literature or description to support equal product substitution in your RFQ submission.

Details of the requesting product to fulfill requirement must be met.

8. 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 the best interest. The Government may consider, throughout the evaluation, the “correction potential” of any quotes. The judgement of such “correctional potential” is within the sole discretion of the Government and may be held with all, some, or none of the Quoters. If any aspect of a Quoter’s quote does not meet the Government requirements and is not considered correctable, the quote will be ineligible for award.

9. Mandatory Registrations. To be eligible for award, registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) must be current (legacy for On-line Registration and Certifications Application (ORCA) and Central Contractor Registration (CCR) registrations). To register or update former CCR and Reps & Certs that are not current go to https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ and provide mandatory information.

10. Delivery. The timeline for delivery is 30 days After Receipt of Order (ARO). Delivery shall be FOB

Destination and included in CLIN prices noted above, unless otherwise and clearly noted by quoter in submitted quote.

11. Site Maintenance: Work areas shall be maintained in a neat, clean, safe condition and all trash, debris, and garbage, which the contractor generates shall be removed from the premises upon completion and delivery, or daily if the completion/delivery will be completed in more than one day.
