8. Discussions. The award will be based on initial responses; quoters are highly encouraged to quote their most advantageous pricing in their initial response. The government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors/quoters.

9. Basis for Award: 1 SOCONS/PKC plans to issue a single firm-fixed price order award to the responsive contractor offering the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable quote. The Government plans to award without discussion, therefore quotes should contain the best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to hold discussions if, during quote evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

a. Responsive: The Government shall first review all quotes for responsiveness. To be considered Responsive, the contractor must submit, at a minimum:

i.Confirm that the required period of performance can be met.

iv. Submit the completed fill-in FAR/DFARS clauses and provisions as well as all other requested information to include completion and submission of the list of materials and pricing, if applicable.

Contractor quotes that fail to meet the above criteria for responsiveness may be considered “non-responsive” and shall not be evaluated further.

b. Order of Evaluation: The government shall organize all responsive contractor quotes in order from lowest to highest total price. Evaluation shall begin with the quote having the lowest total price.

c. Evaluation:

i. The two (2) lowest total priced quotes shall be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Technical Acceptability is rated on a Pass/Fail basis against each of the Technical Factors stated below. To be considered “Technically Acceptable,” the contractor’s quote must demonstrate adherence to all the following Technical Factors:

Technical Factor: The contractor shall submit sufficient technical data to allow determination that the product being offered meets all of the Salient Characteristics listed. This should include (1) Manufacturer name and Part Number as well as any other information (illustrations, product literature, cut sheets, machine specifications, etc.to sufficient to identify all of the Salient Characteristics listed above. If sufficient information is not submitted to illustrate meeting the Salient Characteristics, the quote may be deemed non-responsive and not evaluated further. (NOTE:

webpage references are not considered sufficient support; if the contractor is relying on a manufacturer’s webpage to support the technical requirement, that information must be downloaded and submitted with the quote).

ii After technical evaluation, contract quotes shall be given one of the following ratings:

Technically Acceptable – The quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation to include meeting delivery date.

Technically Unacceptable – The quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation to include delivery date.

If either of the two quotes with the lowest total price is found to be Technically Unacceptable, the quote with the next lowest total price will be evaluated for technical acceptability. This process will continue until two Technically Acceptable quotes are identified or until all quotes have been evaluated.
