Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(1) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if a pending administrative or judicial challenge remains. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the Government will consider the certification in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) This provision does not require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a). The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If the Government later determines that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

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 supplies or similar medical supplies 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.

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

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 supplies to determine compliance with the requirements of Section C of this solicitation.

For proposed equivalent products, the Government will evaluate the documentation submitted to determine whether the products 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 supplies. The evaluation may consider:

• Quality of products;

• Timeliness of deliveries;

• 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 Government, considering the evaluation factors identified in Section K.

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and make award without discussions; 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.
