INSTRUCTIONS TO QUOTERS

52.212-1 ADDENDUM

INSTRUCTIONS TO QUOTERS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

GENERAL INTENTION. Marine Corps Installations – National Capital Region (MCI-NCR) has a commercial requirement for Utility Terrain Vehicles. In accordance with FAR Part 13, the MCI- NCR Regional Contracting Office is issuing an Open Market commercial solicitation for the acquisition of such supply. Required specifications are listed in the Schedule of Supplies/Services within this solicitation.

PROCUREMENT APPROACH. The Contractor’s quoted item descriptions shall reflect the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the Government’s need as described in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. A single firm- fixed price award will be issued. It is the Government’s intent to award on an “all- or-none” basis to satisfy this requirement.

This solicitation is a total set-aside for small business concerns. Only “Open Market” quotes submitted by small business concerns will be accepted by the Government. Any quote that is submitted by a contractor that is not a small business concern will not be considered for award.

This requirement is restricted to authorized resellers/distributors of Utility Terrain Vehicles.

PAYMENT TERMS. NET 30. Invoices must be submitted via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7006 which is included in this solicitation.

REQUIRED DELIVERY/PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE. The Government requires the utility vehicles to be delivered 60 days after award.

TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE. To ensure technical compliance:

1. The quoter must clearly demonstrate that they can meet the solicitation requirements. The manufacturer's name and manufacturer's complete part numbers of all items quoted shall be submitted in the quote. A mere statement that the quoter will meet the Government’s requirement is NOT sufficient.

1. Clearly state whether the quoter can meet the requested delivery date. Vendors who cannot meet the required period of performance will not be considered technically acceptable.

1. Quote package must include proof of authorized reseller status for the utility vehicles. Failure to demonstrate status of being authorized reseller may render quote unacceptable and ineligible for award.

SUBMISSION OF QUOTES. Quotes shall be submitted no later than the time and date specified on Block 8 of page 1 of the SF1449 solicitation. Quotes shall be submitted electronically via email to the point of contact. Vendors are responsible for ensuring their quotes have been sent and received by the date and time specified in Block 8 on Page 1 of this solicitation. Delivery delays that cause a quote to be late are not the responsibility of the Government agency.

EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL ITEMS

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

EVALUATION. The quote(s) will be evaluated on technical capability and price. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price order to satisfy this requirement. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of offers submitted.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and issue an order without discussions with vendors. Vendors should not expect requests for clarification or additional information from the Government. Award will be based on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to the solicitation. Therefore, quoters are cautioned that their initial quotes should contain their best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

The following ratings/definitions will be utilized:

The Government may use information such as DoD PPIRS, SPRS and FAPIIS data available from Government sources to evaluate a Quoter's past performance.

Factor 1- Technical Capability

To ensure technical compliance the quoter must clearly demonstrate that they can meet the solicitation requirements. The manufacturer's name and manufacturer's complete part numbers of all items quoted shall be submitted in the quote. A mere statement that the quoter will meet the Government’s requirement is NOT sufficient.

Factor 2- Price

The price quote should avoid ambiguities of inclusion, exclusion, or content. The Government will evaluate Quoter’s quoted prices, but this factor will not be given an adjectival rating. Quotes will be evaluated on completeness, accuracy, and reasonableness. Evaluation of the quoted prices for the services will be based on a comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and may also be based on a comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) along with any other relevant price analysis techniques.

Reasonableness. For the price to be reasonable in its nature and amount, it should not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive business. Reasonableness takes into account the context of a given source selection, including current market conditions, general economic conditions, and other factors that affect the ability of a Quoter to perform the contract requirements.

Completeness and Accuracy. The Government will review the quotes for completeness and accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the Quoter provided complete pricing for each line item. A unit price and extended price for each line item shall be included in the quote. The Quoter’s quote will be checked for mathematical correctness to include the following:

1. Checking arithmetic in all computations; and

1. Ensuring all prices are summarized correctly. (End of provision)
