Evaluation Factors:

The Government will evaluate quotations using the streamlined commercial evaluation procedures of FAR 12.203(c), as modified by the

Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO). Formal evaluation plans, scoring methods, or competitive ranges are not required, and the

Contracting Officer (CO) may exercise broad discretion in conducting a minimally burdensome evaluation.

Consistent with FAR Part 13 simplified procedures, now consolidated under FAR Part 12 commercial rules, the Government will make a

(C) best-value decision considering Price and Other

Factors, listed in descending order of importance.

1. Price (Most Important)

Price will be evaluated for reasonableness and completeness under streamlined commercial procedures. The Government may also consider whether the quoted price is consistent with the vendor's demonstrated approach and anticipated level of effort.

In accordance with simplified procedures migrated to Part 12, Price is the highest-weighted factor.

2. Technical Approach (Less Important Than

Price; More Important Than Past Performance)

The Government will evaluate the extent to which the quotation demonstrates a clear, feasible, and compliant approach to:

-Furnishing kiosk panels that meet the required specifications and integrate with existing

Rockart-fabricated kiosks

-Ensuring appropriate sizing, materials, durability, and hardware compatibility

-Transporting, handling, and installing the panels at the required locations

-Meeting site access, environmental, and equipment-cleaning requirements

-Completing all required work within the 60-day performance period

Under RFO-aligned FAR 12.203(c), the evaluation will be qualitative, minimally burdensome, and based on the clarity and feasibility of the approach rather than formal scoring or adjectival ratings.

3. Past Performance / Relevant Experience

(Least Important)

The Government will consider the vendor's record of performance on similar efforts, including:

-Furnishing fabricated signage, kiosks, or outdoor display structures

-Performing installation or field work at remote or dispersed sites

-Quality of prior performance, completion

Approach but remains a meaningful discriminator in best-value decision-making.

Basis for Award

The Government intends to make a single award to the vendor whose quotation represents the best value under FAR Part 12 streamlined commercial evaluation procedures.

Using the flexibilities authorized by the RFO and FAR 12.203(c), the CO may:

-Make award without conducting discussions

-Use comparative evaluation rather than scoring

(permitted under Part 12 streamlined rules), and

-Select a quotation that is not the lowest priced if a higher-priced quotation provides better value considering technical approach and past performance.

DOI ELECTRONIC INVOICING Electronic Invoicing and Payment Requirements - Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) (February 2021)

Payment requests must be submitted electronically through the U. S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System (IPP).

"Payment request" means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment by the Contractor.

To constitute a proper invoice, the payment request must comply with the requirements identified in the applicable Prompt Payment clause included in the contract, or the clause 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items included in commercial item contracts. The IPP website address is:

https://www.ipp.gov.

Under this contract, the following documents are required to be submitted as an attachment to the IPP invoice [Contracting Officer to edit and include the documentation required under this contract]:

The Contractor must use the IPP website to register access and use IPP for submitting requests for payment. The Contractor Government Business Point of Contact (as listed in SAM) will receive enrollment instructions via email from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRBSTL) within 3 - 5 business days of the contract award date. Contractor assistance with enrollment can be obtained by contacting the IPP Production Helpdesk via email IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov or phone (866) 973-3131.

If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to use IPP for submitting invoices for payment, the Contractor must submit a waiver request in writing to the Contracting Officer with its proposal or quotation.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options.

However, the term does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.

Small business concern-

(1) Means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in its field of operation, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause.

(2) Affiliates, as used in this definition, means business concerns, one of whom directly or indirectly controls or has the power to control the others, or a third party or parties control or have the power to control the others. In determining whether affiliation exists, consideration is given to all appropriate factors including common ownership, common management, and contractual relationships. SBA determines affiliation based on the factors set forth at 13 CFR 121.103.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern, a small disadvantaged business concern, or a joint venture that was any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3) prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size and socioeconomic status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts-

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(c) The Contractor shall rerepresent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this rerepresentation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s) assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code(s) can be found at https://www.sba.gov/document/support--table-size-standards.

(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing an end item that it does not manufacture, process, or produce itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees, or 150 employees for information technology value-added resellers under NAICS code 541519, if the acquisition-

(1) Was set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Used the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the Contractor waived the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Was an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the representation(s) required by paragraph (b) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Representations and Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in SAM, or does not have a representation in SAM for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was completed:

(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:

Evaluation Factors:

The Government will evaluate quotations using the streamlined commercial evaluation procedures of FAR 12.203(c), as modified by the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO). Formal evaluation plans, scoring methods, or competitive ranges are not required, and the Contracting Officer (CO) may exercise broad discretion in conducting a minimally burdensome evaluation.

Consistent with FAR Part 13 simplified procedures¿now consolidated under FAR Part 12 commercial rules, the Government will make a best¿value decision considering Price and Other Factors, listed in descending order of importance.

1. Price (Most Important) Price will be evaluated for reasonableness and completeness under streamlined commercial procedures.

The Government may also consider whether the quoted price is consistent with the vendor¿s demonstrated approach and anticipated level of effort.

In accordance with simplified procedures migrated to Part 12, Price is the highest¿weighted factor.

2. Technical Approach (Less Important Than Price; More Important Than Past Performance) The Government will evaluate the extent to which the quotation demonstrates a clear, feasible, and compliant approach to:

• Furnishing kiosk panels that meet the required specifications and integrate with existing Rockart¿fabricated kiosks

• Ensuring appropriate sizing, materials, durability, and hardware compatibility

• Transporting, handling, and installing the panels at the required locations

• Meeting site access, environmental, and equipment¿cleaning requirements

• Completing all required work within the 60¿day performance period

Under RFO¿aligned FAR 12.203(c), the evaluation will be qualitative, minimally burdensome, and based on the clarity and feasibility of the approach rather than formal scoring or adjectival ratings.

3. Past Performance / Relevant Experience (Least Important) The Government will consider the vendor¿s record of performance on similar efforts, including:

• Furnishing fabricated signage, kiosks, or outdoor display structures

• Performing installation or field work at remote or dispersed sites

• Quality of prior performance, completion timeliness, and customer satisfaction

The Government may use any information available, including references, CPARS (if available), or other data known to the Government.

Past Performance/Relevant Experience is less important than both Price and Technical Approach but remains a meaningful discriminator in best¿value decision¿making.

Basis for Award

The Government intends to make a single award to the vendor whose quotation represents the best value under FAR Part 12 streamlined commercial evaluation procedures.

Using the flexibilities authorized by the RFO and FAR 12.203(c), the CO may:

• Make award without conducting discussions,

• Use comparative evaluation rather than scoring (permitted under Part 12 streamlined rules), and

• Select a quotation that is not the lowest priced if a higher¿priced quotation provides better value considering technical approach and past performance.

(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)

52.252-5 Authorized Deviations in Provisions. (NOV 2020)

(a) The use in this solicitation of any Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR chapter 1) provision with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of (DEVIATION) after the date of the provision.

(b) The use in this solicitation of any Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR chapter 14) provision with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of (DEVIATION) after the name of the regulation.
