Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror rated technically acceptable.

Technical Acceptability:

It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that their quotation clearly demonstrates their ability to perform these requirements.

All offerors must provide the following minimum information and documentation with their quotations:

Detailed explanation of any requirement listed in the SOW that cannot be successfully accomplished by the offeror.

Offerors that have completed work for the USCG in the past need only provide this information if it has changed or been updated since the last time the work was performed.

If the offeror is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized repair facility and has not previously been approved by the USCG to complete these repairs, they must provide proof with their quote (such as a letter from the OEM) stating that the offeror is approved to complete the repairs. If the offeror does not have proof, then they must provide the additional information listed below.

Offerors, other than the OEM, a proven OEM-authorized repair facility or a company that has previously been approved by the USCG to complete these repairs must also provide the following additional documentation. Failure to provide all of the documentation with the quotation may result in the quotation being eliminated from evaluation.

Detailed explanation of the offeror’s ability to repair the Power Supply Assembly. A simple statement of capabilities will not suffice. The offeror must address how they will accomplish the requirements of the SOW.

The offeror will be evaluated with the following description:

Acceptable Meets Technical Acceptability Requirements

The contractor shall provide pricing as requested in the attached spreadsheet titled “Requirements - 70Z03826QB0000165”.

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that—

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals—

(A) Are □ are not □ presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have □ have not □, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks "have", the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation);

(C) Are □ are not □ presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and

(D) Have □, have not □, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied. 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.

(2) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) The Offeror has □ has not □, within a 3-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) "Principal," for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(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.
