The Government intends to award a purchase order to the quoter whose offer represents the best value to the Government, considering Technical, Past Performance, and Price in accordance with FAR 12.203. Therefore, it is important that Offerors submit their absolute best terms in regard to the technical evaluation factors and price prior to the submission deadlines in this solicitation. Evaluation factors and methodology are discussed in provision 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items. The technical submission should be specific and complete in every detail; and should be prepared simply and economically, providing a straightforward and concise description of capabilities to satisfactorily perform the requirements. The technical submission should be practical, legible, clear, and coherent.

To evaluate all quotations effectively and equitably, the Contracting Officer must receive information containing sufficient detail to allow review and evaluation by the Government. Failure to submit and organize technical submissions as requested may adversely affect an evaluation.

QUESTIONS

1 Any questions shall be sent via email to Catherine Mattocks at Catherine_Mattocks@ibc.doi.gov.

2 Please identify the RFQ number in the email subject line.

3 Questions are due by 3:00 p.m. ED April 8, 2026.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Quotes shall be submitted by closing date and time noted on the cover of this solicitation. Submit quotes to Catherine Mattocks at Catherine_Mattocks@ibc.doi.gov.

2. Quoters shall prepare a quotation as described below. Please ensure that the technical, and price quotations are sent electronically, are separate files, and are clearly identified as technical and price quotations, respectively.

3. In case of any disagreement or discrepancies between the terms and conditions of this RFQ and the FAR, the latter shall prevail.

4. The Quoter shall follow the instructions contained in this RFQ and supply all information and signatures/certifications as required. Failure to furnish all information requested shall disqualify the offer.

5. The Quoter must set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by this RFQ. The penalty for making false statements to the Government is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. § 1001.6. Government Obligation. The U.S. Government is not obligated to make an award or pay for any costs incurred by the Offeror in preparation of a quotation in response hereto.

QUOTATION INSTRUCTIONS

The quotation shall be submitted in two separate volumes, Volume I - Technical and Volume II - Price. Each of the volumes shall be prepared and submitted in separate electronic files, so the evaluation of each part may be conducted independently.

Volume 1, Section 1 - Cover Sheet with Business Information

Please include the following:

1. The solicitation number and title.

2. Company name, address, contact information, and any proposed subcontractor or partner organization.

3. Point(s) of contact: specify the name(s) of those authorized to negotiate with the Government on behalf of the company. For each name, include a phone number, email address, and physical address.

4. Statement of the Offeror's (and any proposed subcontractor's) UEI number.

5. In addition to the requirements below, all quotations shall include the following:

a. Signed and completed SF1449.

b. Signed SF30 for all amendments issued (if applicable).

c. All applicable representations and certifications.

d. Technical quotation

e. Any assumptions to the request for quotation.

f. Any pricing discounts applied to the quotation.

Volume 1, Section 2 - Technical

The Technical Quote shall clearly demonstrate how the quoter's proposed approach and personnel qualifications best meet the requirements identified in Section four of the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Technical Quote shall describe the quoter's proposed approach to performing the required services and demonstrate the qualifications and relevant experience of proposed personnel.

Volume 1, Section 3 - Past Performance

The quoter shall provide information on up to three (3) contracts performed within the past three (3) years that are the same as or similar in scope to this requirement. For each reference, provide the following:

1. Contract number

2. Agency/organization name

3. Period of performance

4. Contract value

5. Brief description of the services performed and their similarity to this requirement.

6. Government point of contact (name, title, phone number, and email address)

Quoters are advised that an unacceptable past performance rating requires a documented finding that the quoter's past performance record demonstrates a pattern of material failures likely to recur; a single negative reference will not automatically result in an unacceptable rating.

Volume 2 - Price The Price Quote shall be firm-fixed-price. Quoters shall provide a fully loaded price inclusive of all costs required to fulfill the requirements of the PWS, including but not limited to labor, travel, and any other direct costs associated with on-site survey activities at both the Washington, DC and Gulfport, MS campus locations. Quoters shall provide a price breakdown by location as follows:

Washington, DC Campus Gulfport, MS Campus Total Combined Price

The quoter shall identify any discounts applied to the quoted price. Price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203(a)(3) and will be determined fair and reasonable through price analysis.

4-1.7 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (NOV 2021) (Deviation Effective Date)

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

Basis of Award: Award will be made to the quoter whose offer represents the best value to the Government, considering Technical, Past Performance, and Price in accordance with FAR 12.203. Technical and Past Performance, when combined, are considered more important than Price. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest-priced quoter if a higher-priced offer provides superior value to the Government.

Technical Acceptability: The Government will evaluate Technical based on how well the proposed services meet the Government's requirements, including the quoter's demonstrated expertise in conducting mock surveys for long-term care or skilled nursing facilities and the qualifications of proposed personnel.

Past Performance: Past performance will be evaluated using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System

(CPARS). A quoters' past performance will be considered acceptable if they have a satisfactory or better record of delivering the same or similar services on time and in conformance with contract requirements. An unacceptable rating requires a documented finding that the quoter's past performance record demonstrates a pattern of material failures likely to recur. Neutral rating will be assigned in the absence of past performance records.

Price: Price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203(a)(3) and will be determined fair and reasonable through price analysis.

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror 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.

(End of provision)
