The following evaluation factor information is provided in lieu of the FAR provision 52.212-2:

The Government will award a Purchase Order resulting from the Request for Quote (RFQ) to the responsible quote provider whose quotation conforms to the RFQ and will be most advantageous to the Government. The Government has determined the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quotation will be the most advantageous.

The Government will evaluate technical acceptability on a pass or fail basis. To meet the minimum technical acceptability standards, the quotation must:

1) Be From a Small Business concern.

2) Meet the Specifications detailed in Section 2.1. via a technical proposal.

RFQ 140D0423Q0053 ONRR – Bankruptcy Notification Services

3) Be from a business that affirmatively demonstrates its responsibility as reported in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) records.

4) Indicate the Quoter’s ability to attain the anticipated Period of Performance.

The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement (base period). The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The Government intends to make a single award for the requirement. Submission of a quote implies the Contractor agrees to the terms and conditions in this document. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The Government reserves the right to not issue an award from this RFQ. This is an RFQ only and in no way obligates the Government to award a Purchase Order or to reimburse the Contractor for any costs incurred in preparing the response to this RFQ.
