FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. The Government intends to award one contract to the responsive, responsible offer using the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures.

Award will be made to the acceptable offeror with the lowest price which is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and which has submitted a quote conforming to the solicitation requirements. The requirements include all stated terms, conditions, completion of representations and certifications, and all other requirements of this solicitation. The Government intends to make an award based on the initial quotes received; therefore, the initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors must be determined to be responsible according to the standards of FAR Subpart 9 to be eligible for award.

Some supplies required for this project are called out for as “Name Brand ONLY”.

Vendor must check to appropriate box on Attachment 01 – Schedule of Supplies and Services to certify that they are offering the Brand Name Only called out for in Attachment 02 – Statement of Work and that they are free to set their own prices on this product.

Some supplies required for this project are called out for as “Name Brand or Equal”.

Vendor offering the Brand Name will be determined to be “Technically Acceptable”.

AMD 0001

Vendors offering an “Or Equal” Product must submit Descriptive Literature (as described below) with their offer that demonstrates the “Or Equal” offer meets the salient characteristics called out for in Attachment 02 – Statement of work. Offerors must also check the appropriate box on Attachment 01 – Schedule of Supplies and Services that they are offering the Brand Name or an Or Equal product.

Descriptive Literature:

a. “Descriptive Literature” means information (e.g., cuts, illustrations, drawings, brochures) that is submitted as a part of a proposal. Descriptive Literature is required to establish, for the purpose of evaluation and award, details of the product offered that are specified elsewhere in the solicitation and pertain to significant elements such as (1) design; (2) materials; (3) components; (4) performance characteristics; and (5) methods of manufacture, assembly, construction or operation.

V. The following Vendor Questions are answered.

Question 1) Whether companies from Outside Canada can apply for this? (like, from India or USA)?

Answer 1) FAR 52.225-1 Buy American – Supplies (May, 2014) does not apply to Information Technology purchases.

Question 2) Whether we need to come over there for meetings?

Answer 2) There are no pre quote Site Visits for this requirement.

Question 3) Can we perform the tasks (related to RFP) outside Canada? (like, from India or USA)

Answer 3) The work related to this RFQ will require installation in accordance with the Statement of Work.

Question 4) Can we submit the proposals via email?

AMD 0001

Answer 4) Please see FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS –

COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2017)

ADDENDA TO FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL

ITEMS (JAN 2017) provided in the Combined Synopsis / Solicitation.

Question 5) Reference Section 6.1 MONITOR REQUIREMENTS: The SOW indicates the approved monitor display shall be (brand name only) LG SM5KC Series, however, LG has indicated they are phasing out their SM5KC series for a D series, would alternate LG Model screens be considered?

Answer 5) The SOW should not state (brand name only) for hardware. The salient characteristics of the LG SM5KC are what required for our applications, so any alternative monitors meet the salient characteristics would be acceptable.

Question 6) Reference Section 6.1 MONITOR REQUIREMENTS: SM5KC Screens only come in sizes 32, 43, 55, and 65, however, the solicitation is requesting 70, 55, and 42-inch monitors. Please clarify.

Answer 6) The solicitation should state that these are approximate sizes and must have equivalent salient characteristics of the LG monitor.

Question 7) Reference 6.2 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS (6.2.1 attachment 2). The SOW refers to "Visix Axis-TV-..." content management software and media players. Is the government open to an alternative brand of software and players, such as BrightSign or is Visix required?

Section 2.1 B. "The digital signage system will consist of a content management server...":

Answer 7) The software is a brand name requirement as noted in the solicitation.

Question 8) Reference 6.2 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS (Section 2.1.B) “The digital signage system will consist of a content management server…”, LG monitors are embedded with a Quad Core SoC which allows for content to be created, distributed and controlled without a dedicated PC or server. Is a server required?

AMD 0001

Answer 8) The server will be required for centralized content management and hosting.

The contractor is required for the initial installation and configuration of the services and insure that the system is operational upon completion of the project. The Government will manage the server thereafter.

VI. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
