If you need to obtain or renew a UEI number and CAGE code, please visit the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://sam.gov/.

If you are not currently registered, please visit the following website https://wawf.eb.mil/ to complete your registration.

In accordance with FAR 52.212-2, the Government intends to make an award to the Contractor who submits the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote and deemed responsive and responsible by the Contracting Officer. To be found technically acceptable, the Offeror must meet the minimum requirements as specified in the RFQ, Attachment 0001 – Statement of Work. The Offeror must provide a response to all aspects of the RFQ/SOW by the date and time specified. Offerors must submit quotes on the full quantity identified. Failure to submit all information requested in this RFQ could be cause for rejection of the entire quote. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to make no award under this RFQ.

Again, this not a solicitation for event planning services. An offer which requires the government to execute a separate agreement with a third party hotel shall be deemed technically unacceptable.

III) 52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (ADDENDUM)

(a) The Government intends to award a single order resulting from this RFQ to the lowest priced, technically acceptable, responsive, responsible offeror, based on the following evaluation factors.

1. Technical - Technical Capability will be evaluated to determine the likelihood that the Government’s requirements in the Statement of Work (SOW) can be achieved.

2. Price - Price will be evaluated to determine if the offeror’s proposed price is fair, reasonable, and balanced using price analysis techniques in accordance with the guidelines in FAR 15.404-1(b). Unreasonably high or unrealistically low proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from consideration.

(b) The offeror must provide information in sufficient detail to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the previous factors. All non-priced factors will be evaluated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis. The factors identify the minimum requirements that are key to successful contract performance. An offeror must receive an “Acceptable” rating for all non-price factors to be considered for award.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

* Responsive is defined as a complete (conforms to all requirements in the “Instructions to Offerors” section of this document) offer/quote received before the closing date

**Responsibility is determined in accordance with FAR Part 9.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(d) The contractor’s offer shall remain valid for 60 days.

(e) Although the Government intends to award without discussions, if the price is not determined to be fair and reasonable, negotiations may commence. The Government reserves the right to seek additional information if required to determine fair and reasonableness.
