ALL YEARS (BASE YEAR & OPTIONS 1, 2, 3, & 4)

For the purposes of the award of this Contract, The Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows: The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all proposals relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of proposals based on price, unless, after reviewing the proposals, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

GENERAL GUIDANCE

This acquisition is being procured using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of FAR Part 13.

This solicitation has been set aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (Total SDVOSB Set Aside) which includes all Contract Line Items (CLINS) being requested in this solicitation. Offers shall only be accepted from Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB’s). (Offers shall not be accepted from offerors in other socioeconomic categories). The Government intends to solicit this requirement and award a subsequent contract without discussions or negotiations. Therefore, offerors are encouraged to provide their best offer initially because the opportunity to enter into discussions or to provide a better offer at a later time will not be possible. However, if necessary, the government reserves the right to seek clarification and to obtain additional information about offers that have been submitted from any eligible offeror. FAR Part 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (and Addendum to FAR Part 52.212-2) provides specific information as to how the government will evaluate offers submitted in response to this solicitation.

Pursuant to FAR subpart 13.106-2, the Government will award a single, Firm-Fixed Price contract to a single, successful offeror/contractor whose offer/quote in response to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. The Government intends to award to the offeror whose offer represents the best value to the government after consideration of all technical and price/non-price factors.

SELECTION PROCESS:

Evaluations will be conducted under the procedures of FAR Part 13. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the offers/quotes will undergo a comparative evaluation to determine which contractor provides the best value to the government in terms of high technical capability and past performance, while also providing a competitive price. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(4)(i), the Contracting Officer’s basis of award decision shall be based upon a comparative evaluation of quotes to achieve an award most advantageous to the Government. Comparative evaluation is the side by side comparison of two or more offers/quotes that are sufficiently similar so as to be comparable and sufficiently unalike so that the offers/ quotes may be differentiated from each other on the basis of the value indicators. Offers/quotes will be compared against each other in an impartial and simplified manner based on FAR Part 13. Source selection techniques required by FAR Part 15 will not be used because this solicitation is being executed IAW FAR Part 13 only. See FAR Part 52.212-2 and Addendum to FAR Part 52.212-2 for additional information. The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest-cost/lowest priced Offeror or to the Offeror with the highest rating based on a comparative analysis of non-cost/non-price value indicators as outlined in FAR Parts 52.212-1, 52.212-2, and Addendum to FAR Part 52.212-2 if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF OFFER/QUOTE

Offer Submission Guidance: Offers shall be submitted via e-mail only to C. Robert Oravetz, Contracting Officer, christopher.oravetz@va.gov. Offers shall be submitted on or before the close date/time as specified in this solicitation. Offers are due no later than Monday, July 19th, 2021 by 1300 hours (1:00 p.m.) Eastern Time.
