Evaluation Criteria:

Evaluation – Technical Capability. The Government will evaluate the lowest-priced offeror’s Technical Volume to determine understanding of and adherence to all of the requirements outlined in the SOW.

An evaluation rating of technically “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” will be assigned upon completion of the technical quote’s evaluation. If an offeror receives a technical rating of “Unacceptable”, it will not be considered for award.

Factor 1 - Technical Capability Ratings

Rating Definition

Evaluation – Price. The Government will evaluate the total price on SF-1449.

USCG will evaluate SF-1449 to determine whether the prices are fair and reasonable and adhere to the RFQ instructions. Evaluation of pricing will be based on the Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

Platform (IPP) at https://www.ipp.gov/. IPP is a secure web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service in partnership with the Federal Reserve

Bank of St. Louis (FRSTL). IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency.

Actions to take:

If you are already enrolled in IPP:

If your company is already registered to use IPP, you will not be required to re-register and you do not need to contact IPP.

If you are NOT already enrolled in IPP:

The point of contact you provided in your SAM.gov registration will receive two emails from ipp.noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov. Please note that emails from this email address may filter into your spam or junk folder:

1. The first email will have the IPP Logon ID and a link to the IPP application.

2. A second email, which will be sent within 24 hours of the first email, contains a temporary password.

Once your contact receives these emails, please ensure they log into IPP and complete the registration process.

Once registered to use IPP, your company may submit invoices electronically, receive e-mail notifications when requests are paid, view payment history, and access remittance downloads. The e-mail notification of payment is sent when a payment is distributed to your bank account and may include the following payment information: Date of payment, dollar amount, invoice number, paying agency, payee name, and

ACH trace number.

Vendor training materials, including a first-time login tutorial, are available on the https://www.ipp.gov/ website. Once you have logged in to the IPP application, you will have access to user guides that provide step-by-step instructions for all IPP capabilities, ranging from creating and submitting an invoice to setting up email notifications. Live webinars are held monthly and provide a great opportunity to learn the basic of the system and to call in and ask the IPP team questions about the IPP application.
