PROJECT DESCRIPTION: WDD Range Cattleguard Purchase

GENERAL

(a) The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking quotations for supplies listed in the accompanying continuation documentation.

The BLM intends to conduct this acquisition by use of simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. A single contract award will be made to the responsible quoter whose quotation represents the best value in accordance with the evaluation methodology outlined in the “basis for contract award.”

(b) To assure timely and equitable evaluation of quotations, respondents are cautioned to strictly comply with all instructions within this solicitation to ensure submission of a complete quote. Respondents are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and any stated technical requirements. Failure to adhere to solicitation requirements, at the time of submission, may result in a respondent’s quote being deemed unacceptable to the Government and the respondent may be eliminated from award consideration. It is the responsibility of respondents to ensure their quote is received by the Government at the designated due date and time.

(c) Quoters are cautioned to submit adequate information to enable the Government to fully ascertain each respondent’s capability to perform the requirements in accordance with the requirements of the request for quotation (RFQ).

(d) If a respondent believes that requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise flawed, the respondent shall immediately notify the contracting officer via email with supporting rationale prior to the question deadline specified on the cover page of this document.

(e) This RFQ does not commit the Government to any costs incurred during the preparation and submission of quotes or for any other costs incurred by any firm submitting a quote in response to this solicitation. Note specifically that the respondent will not be participating in a sealed bid procurement process. Issuance of this RFQ does not constitute an award commitment on behalf of the Government.

(f) Quotations must be valid for a minimum of 60 days.

(g) Respondents must complete and maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov prior to close of solicitation. The Government will obtain representations and certifications through this system.

System Considerations Be aware that system updates may lag behind policy changes:

• SAM Representations: Entities are still required to complete certain representations in SAM that are not included in agency solicitations, including 52.223-22 and paragraph (t) of 52.212-3.

• Impact on Agencies: Agencies will not consider these representations in award decisions, and entities are not required to update their registrations to remove them.

(h) All questions should be emailed directly to the contracting office primary POC by the deadline listed on the first page of this document. Only written questions will be considered and responded to by the Government. Responses to questions will be posted as an amendment to the solicitation. Respondents shall not contact any Government personnel related to this requirement other than contracting office personnel.

Quotes will be evaluated using an LPTA approach. Award will be made to the responsible quoter whose quote conforms with all solicitation requirements to include terms and conditions, representations & certifications, technical requirements, and also provides the lowest total price.

Quotes will be evaluated using the criteria listed in this section. Noncompliance with the Request for Quote (RFQ) requirements may be grounds to eliminate the quote from consideration for contract award. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A quote that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

After solicitation closing, the Contracting Officer will conduct quote compliance review for determination of basic quote adequacy prior to providing commencing evaluation. Failure to provide a complete quote identified in the solicitation may result in the quote being removed from further consideration for award.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

TECHNICAL

Technical Evaluation: The criteria below will be used to determine technical acceptability:

(a) Bidder shall product specifications that clearly state product salient features and any exclusions or variations from them.

(b) An estimated delivery date will be included in quote.
