SECTION I – REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS

Quoters shall maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) at the time of quote submission and award.

SECTION J – INSTRUCTIONS TO QUOTERS

J.1 General Quoters shall submit a complete quotation in accordance with the requirements of this solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and make award without discussion. Therefore, Quoters should submit their best quotation, required technical and price information, in their initial submission.

The Government may request clarifications if determined to be in the Government's best interest.

J.2 Quotation Format Quotations shall consist of the following:

Volume I – Technical Capability

• Company name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code (if applicable), business address, and primary point of contact (name, telephone number, and email address).

• Technical literature, manufacturer specifications, catalog information, or other information sufficient to demonstrate compliance with Section C of this solicitation.

• Any representations, certifications, or other documentation required by this solicitation.

• A statement identifying whether the Quoter is the manufacturer, an authorized distributor, or an authorized reseller for the products quoted.

Volume II – Past Performance Quoters shall submit Attachment 1 – Past Performance Survey and up to three (3) references for contracts or purchase orders involving commercial dental equipment or similar medical equipment performed within the past five (5) years.

If a completed past performance survey cannot be obtained, the quoter may submit a narrative describing its relevant past performance for each reference. The narrative should include, at a minimum:

• Customer name and point of contact (if available);

• Contract or Purchase Order Number (if applicable);

• Period of Performance;

• Description of the supplies provided;

• Approximate contract value (if available); and

• Summary of the Quoter's performance, including quality of products, timeliness of deliveries, responsiveness to customer requirements, and resolution of any delivery or product issues.

Project Title Dental Operatory Equipment – Mescalero Service Unit

The Government reserves the right to contact the identified references and to consider information obtained from other sources in evaluating past performance.

Volume III - Price Submission The price submission shall include:

• A completed pricing schedule.

• Proposed unit prices, extended prices, and total price, as applicable.

• Any discounts or other pricing information necessary to evaluate the quotation.

Quotations shall be submitted electronically in PDF format unless otherwise specified in this solicitation. Failure to submit the information requested may result in the quotation not being considered for award.

SECTION K- TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS AND BASIS FOR AWARD

K.1 The Government shall evaluate quotations using the following factors:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability The Government shall evaluate the Quoter's proposed commercial dental equipment to determine compliance with the requirements of Section C of this solicitation.

For proposed equivalent equipment, the Government will evaluate the documentation submitted to determine whether the equipment satisfy the solicitation's salient characteristics and compatibility requirements.

Factor 2 – Past Performance The Government shall evaluate the Quoter's recent and relevant past performance in furnishing commercial dental equipment. The evaluation may consider:

• Quality of products;

• Timeliness of delivery;

• Responsiveness to customer requirements;

• Resolution of delivery or product issues; and

• Overall customer satisfaction.

The Government may consider the submitted references, completed Past Performance Surveys, past performance narratives submitted in lieu of a survey, and other relevant information obtained from Government sources.

Quoters without recent or relevant past performance will receive a neutral assessment.

Factor 3 – Price The Government will evaluate proposed prices for completeness, fairness, and reasonableness. In determining the proposed prices are fair and reasonable, the Government may use one or more price analysis techniques, including comparison of competitive quotations, historical prices, commercial catalog or market pricing, market research, and other relevant pricing information.

K.2 Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors Technical Capability is more important than Past Performance. When combined, Technical Capability and Past Performance are significantly more important than Price.

As quotations become more equal under the non-price factors, Price will become increasingly important in the best value determination.

The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced Quoter if the Government determines that the benefits associated with a higher-rated quotation justify the additional cost.

K.3 Basis for Award The Government shall award a contract to the responsible Quoter whose quotation represents the best value to the

Project Title Dental Operatory Equipment – Mescalero Service Unit

Government, considering the evaluation factors identified in Section K.

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and make award without discussion. However, it reserves the right to conduct discussions if doing so is determined to be in the Government's best interest.

A quotation may be determined technically unacceptable if the Quoter fails to demonstrate compliance with one or more material requirements of this solicitation.
