2.2.3. Quoters are cautioned to submit enough information to enable the evaluation committee to fully ascertain each offeror's capability to perform all the requirements contemplated by this solicitation. All commitments made in the proposal may become a part of the resultant contract.

2.3. PROPOSAL VOLUME CONTENTS. Each offeror's proposal shall be submitted as set forth below and all information shall be confined to the appropriate part to facilitate independent evaluation. Proposals, which do not include the requested minimum information, may be eliminated from further consideration for award.

2.3.1. VOLUME 1, PRICE/COST INFORMATION AND PRO FORMA DOCUMENTS

2.3.1.1. Quoters shall provide all price/cost information necessary to provide a meaningful basis for Government's analysis and evaluation of price/cost for the project set forth in Section 00 22 16 of this solicitation.

2.3.1.6. All potential offerors are required to register in the System for Award Management. See FAR Provision 52.204-7, System for Award Management.

2.3.1.7. Joint Venture Requirements - Parties wishing to propose as a joint venture must submit, with the Pro Forma documents, an executed copy of the joint venture agreement. The joint venture agreement shall be executed in accordance with FAR 4.102(d). Each joint venture partner shall submit evidence satisfactory to the Contracting Officer that its Board of Directors has approved its participation in the joint venture or by an instrument of similarly binding character in the case of an unincorporated entity.

The Government intends to award a single contract to a qualified Small Business quoter deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the RFQ's requirements and is judged to represent the Best Value to the Government in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out in this solicitation. The award will be made based on the best overall best value quote that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three evaluation factors: Technical, Price, and Past Performance. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors, under RFO FAR 12.203, shall be used to evaluate quotes comparatively with priced tradeoffs.

1.2. Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This includes options under FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, if included in this solicitation. Options under FAR clause 52.217-8 will be evaluated by using the prices quoted for the last option period to determine the price for a 6-month extension, which will be added to the base and other option years to arrive at a total evaluated price. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

1.3. A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, the issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. A written notice of award or purchase order, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

1.4. The Government will award a contract to the responsible quoter who represents the best value to the Government on the basis of comparison of its (1) quote, and (2) technical - risk.

1.5. Quote. The Government will determine the merits of your quote on the basis of its acceptability and its quoted price.

1.5.1. Acceptability. We will determine the acceptability of your quote on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. We will consider your quote acceptable if it (i) conforms to the material solicitation requirements; (ii) manifests your unconditional assent to the terms of this Request for Quote (RFQ), and (iii) you are a responsible prospective contractor pursuant to FAR 9.104-1.

(NOTE: By submission of a quote, the quoter represents that it unconditionally assents to the terms of this Request for Quote, except for any written express exceptions.)

1.5.2. Conformance. Material solicitation requirements include those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery.

1.5.3. Assent. If you (1) take exception to any term of this RFQ, (2) propose any additional terms, or (3) omit material information required by this RFQ then we will consider your quote to be unacceptable and ineligible for contract award.

1.5.4 Price: The Government will evaluate your price for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with RFO FAR 12.203.

1.6. Technical - Risk. Quoters' experience and past performance will be evaluated to assess risk.

Best value will be assessed based on direct comparisons of information--without objective standards--pursuant to RFO FAR 12.203(a)(2).

1.6.1 The Government will evaluate quoters and their capability statements (Volume 2) and assign one of the confidence risk ratings below. We will evaluate things like what work you did, when and where you did it, whom you did it for, and what methods you presumably used. It is important to understand the difference between a quoter's experience and its past performance - the government may assign a No Confidence rating based on a quoter's lack of experience.

Performance Confidence Assessments

Rating Definition

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

2. AWARD and DEBRIEFINGS

2.1. Award: A written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer shall be deemed to result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements-Notice and Representation (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision-

Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area of the United States.

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(5) Any trust if-

(i) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(b) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror may claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

(1) It [ ] is [ ] is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that-I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 [ ] a full exemption, or [ ] partial or no exemption [Offeror must select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then-

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the IRS as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts.
