Each volume shall be marked with the RFQ number and the offer's name and address, and the number of the Volume, i.e. I, or II. Offers shall be in the English language, and all monies shall be proposed in United States dollars.

The Technical plan will be assessed to determine if the number of hours quoted is sufficient to ensure successful completion of the requirements of the PWS. The Government will also assess the plan to determine compliance with the attached Wage Rate Determination. The Government will also assess the Contractor's plan to ensure compliance with the PWS at all times.

BASIS OF AWARD- EVALUATION

I. Basis for Contract Award - Evaluation of Quotations-Simplified Acquisition Procedures

(a) In accordance with FAR 13.106, the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offer whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers comparatively without priced tradeoffs:

(i) Price

(ii) Technical Plan

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers 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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

Therefore, 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 offer 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.

II. Offer Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows (Organized by Volume):

A. General: We will award a contract to the offer responsible who represents the best value to the Government on the basis of comparison of its (1) offer, and (2) technical - risk.

B. Volume I, Offer

1. General: We will determine the merits of your offer on the basis of (a) its acceptability and (b) its offer price.

(a) 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 RFO 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.)

(i) Conformance. Material solicitation requirements include those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery.

(ii) Assent If you (1) make 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 the contract award.

(b) Price: We will evaluate your price for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with RFO FAR 12.204.

C. Volume II, Technical Plan

1. The Technical plan will be assessed to determine if the number of hours quoted are sufficient to ensure successful completion of the requirements of the PWS. The Government will also assess the plan to determine compliance with the attached Wage Rate Determination. The Government will also assess the Contractor's plan to ensure compliance with the PWS at all times.

The Government may only award to a contractor the Contracting Officer is able to make an affirmative determination of responsibility IAW RFO FAR 9.103(b). As part of this determination, the Government will consider supplier risk using the Supplier Performance Risk System.

National Guard Bureau, Agency Protest Program

NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum.

Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing.

Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements-Notice and Representation (Jun 2020)

(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.

United States person as defined in 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(30) means

(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. For questions relating to the interpretation of the IRS regulations go to https://www.irs.gov/help/tax-law-questions.
