SECTION 4 – INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

RFO 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services

(a) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. As a minimum, offers shall include—

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The name, address, telephone number of the Offeror;

(3) The Offeror’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;

(4) Information necessary to evaluate the factors contained in the provision at 52.212-2.

(5) Responses to provisions that require Offeror completion of information, representations, and certifications (other than those collected via the System for Award Management (SAM)); and

(6) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and any solicitation amendments.

(b) Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(End of provision)

SECTION 5 – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Addendum to RFO 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order to the responsible quoter whose quote, conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. In accordance with RFO 12.203(c)(2), the Government is not required to establish a competitive range, score quotations, or have evaluation plans before communicating with quoters or soliciting revised quotations. The evaluation procedures are not subject to RFO Part 15 or RFO Part 14. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes in the order listed:

Factor 1 - Price: The Government will evaluate all quotes for price, ranking them from lowest to highest Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Total Evaluated Price is the sum of all Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs) in Attachment 2 – Pricing Sheet. Quoted prices must be all-inclusive, incorporating all shipping and handling, delivery fees, applicable tariffs, transaction fees, and any other costs associated with complete delivery of the required items. The Government will not be responsible for any costs not included in the quoted TEP. The Government will determine the reasonableness of the offer based on price competition received in response to this solicitation.

Factor 2 - Technical Capability: The Government will evaluate the quote of the lowest priced quoter to determine whether the offered product(s) and services meet or exceed all requirements set forth in Attachment 1 - Performance Work Statement (PWS)_Redacted. Technical acceptability will be determined on a pass/fail basis; to be considered technically acceptable, the offeror's quote must clearly demonstrate the ability to fulfill the requirements detailed in the PWS. If the lowest priced quoter's offer is determined to be technically unacceptable, the Government will proceed to evaluate the next lowest priced quote. This process will continue in order of price ranking until a quote is determined to be technically acceptable in all respects, or until all quotes have been evaluated.

(End of provision)

Responsibility Determination

Prior to award, the Contracting Officer will determine that the selected quoter is a source in accordance with RFO 9.103 and RFO 9.104-1. A quote determined to be technically acceptable will not result in award if the quoter is determined to be non-responsible. In such case, the Government will proceed to the next lowest priced technically acceptable quote.
