SECTION F - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICE TO QUOTERS

EVALUATION (IHS SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE)

(Supplementing FAR 52.212-2 and FAR 12.203)

Evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 12.203(c)(2) using a comparative evaluation of quotes. Technical capability and past performance, individually or combined, are more important than price. Contracting Officers are not required to prepare formal evaluation plans, score quotes, or establish a competitive range.

Award will be made to the quoter whose submission is:

1. Technically acceptable,

2. Determined responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9, and

3. Represents the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Government may communicate with quoters to clarify aspects of their quotes but is not required to request revised quotations.

QUOTE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

https://www.hhs.gov/policies/hhsar/subpart352.html

Project Title BioRad Laboratories Quality Control Reagents - Taos-Picuris Service Unit

Quoters shall submit a complete quotation package consisting of three (4) volumes plus a signed SF-1449. Electronic submission (PDF preferred) is required unless otherwise stated in the solicitation.

1. Volume I – Technical Capability – Include the following:

• Quoter Name

• UEI Number

• Business Size (Small Business, Indian-Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE), etc.)

• Point of Contact (name, phone, email)

• A description demonstrating the quoter’s capability to perform all requirements in the Statement of Work (SOW)

The technical submission must show a clear understanding of the BioRad Laboratories Quality Control Reagents requirements and provide a logical, feasible approach to meeting the SOW. Quotes that address only part of the requirement will be rated unacceptable.

The Government will evaluate only the information provided. No assumptions will be made.

2. Volume II - Past Performance – Provide up to five (5) recent and relevant contracts or jobs of similar scope. Include:

• Customer/organization

• Location

• Dates of performance

• Description of work

• Contract value (if available)

• POC name, phone, and email In addition, IHS may evaluate:

• CPARS reports

• Other federal past performance records

• Subcontractor performance (IAW FAR 12.203(a)(2))

• Past performance information already known to the Government

A lack of past performance will not be considered negative.

3. Volume III – Price Submission – Quote shall be firm-fixed-price and include:

• Total price for the base period

• Total prices for all option periods

• All labor, materials, equipment, supplies, and supervision

• All applicable federal, state, tribal, and local taxes

• Any required travel, fully burdened

• A minimum 90-day price validity

The provided fillable price table may be used, or the quoter may submit their own format containing equivalent details.

Pricing may be evaluated for reasonableness, completeness, balance, and consistency with the technical approach.

4. Volume IV – Administrative

1. Signed SF-18

Submit the signed first page of the SF-18. Include any signed amendments, if issued.

Project Title BioRad Laboratories Quality Control Reagents - Taos-Picuris Service Unit

2. Signed IHS IEE Representation Form

Communications/Questions: All questions must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Administrator identified on the SF-1449. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. Responses may be issued via amendment if necessary.

Basis for Award

Award Without Discussions The Government reserves the right to make award without conducting discussions. Offerors shall therefore ensure that their initial submission contains their most favorable pricing and technical terms.

Evaluation of Options For evaluation purposes, the Government will determine the total evaluated price by adding the price for all option periods to the price for the base period. Evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise any option periods.

Best-Value Determination Award will be made using a best-value tradeoff process. Under this method, non-price factors, when combined, are more important than price. The Government may select an offeror whose quotation demonstrates superior technical merit or past performance, even if that quotation does not reflect the lowest price.
