SECTION F: INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUOTERS

If the Quoter’s RFQ Package does not include the following list of items, the quoter may be determined nonresponsive or the quote incomplete by the Government.

1) HISTORICAL PRICING DATA: Provide a copy of historical pricing paid, whether by the Government or other than Government agency, from at least two previous orders of similar size and/or part numbers.

2) RFQ PRICING: Submit page 5 of the RFQ and the Pricing Worksheet attachment with quote to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer before the listed closing date via email submission.

4) SECTION E: PROVISIONS: Complete and return Section E: of the RFQ Pages 16-22, Provisions, Representations and Certifications with the RFQ submission.

The Government reserves the right to select an awardee based upon initial quotes received, without discussions with quoters; therefore, the quoter should submit their best terms in the initial Quote. The Government reserves the right to confer with quoters and request revised Quotes if needed. The Government reserves the right to extend the RFQ submission due date and/or time should it be beneficial to the Government.

SECTION G: METHOD OF AWARD

Award will be made in the aggregate for all items. Quoters must submit all the required supplemental documentation required by the RFQ with their price quote. If the supplemental documentation is not provided, Quoters will be considered noncompliant with the RFQ requirements and may not receive any further consideration for award. Additionally, Quoters must be determined to be the best value to the Government based on technical acceptability, price, and delivery terms. A best value determination will be made based on technical acceptability, price, and delivery terms. As technical acceptability and price become equally rated, delivery terms will become the determining factor. Technical acceptability and price are the most important factors, and then delivery terms. Price is more important than delivery terms.

Award may be made to the proposal that provides the best value to the Government.

FACTOR #1: TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

Technical acceptability will be determined by submitting a quote that provides pricing and quantities for the part numbers identified in the Pricing Worksheet. Technical Acceptability will be evaluated on a "Pass" or "Fail" basis.

FACTOR #2: PRICE

The total aggregate price will be considered for award. Before making an award, the contracting officer must determine that the proposed price is fair and reasonable.

(1) Whenever possible, base price reasonableness on competitive quotations or offers.

(2) If only one response is received, include a statement of price reasonableness in the contract file. The contracting officer may base the statement on-

(i) Market research;

(ii) Comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases;

(iii) Current price lists, catalogs, or advertisements. However, inclusion of a price in a price list, catalog, or advertisement does not, in and of itself, establish fairness and reasonableness of the price;

(iv) A comparison with similar items in a related industry;

(v) The contracting officer’s personal knowledge of the item being purchased;

(vi) Comparison to an independent Government estimate; or

(vii) Any other reasonable basis.

Note: Price will not have a rating assigned.

PAST PERFORMANCE

While past performance is not a formal evaluation factor for this procurement, the GSA CO will review the Exclusions and Responsibility/Qualification Reports available within the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://sam.gov/SAM/). Additionally, the Government reserves the right to review Performance and Integrity Records, available within the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) (https://www.cpars.gov/)

FACTOR #3: DELIVERY TERMS

Contractors are encouraged to provide their best delivery terms when submitting their proposal.

Column E on the Pricing Worksheet is for vendors to input their best quoted delivery terms after receipt of order.
