(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the quoter waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(b) Submission of quotes. Submit signed and dated quotes to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation.

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of quotes (if specified);

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the quoter;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)52.212-3 (see FAR52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the quoter shall complete electronically);

(e) Multiple quotes. Quoters are encouraged to submit multiple quotes presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FARsubpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each quote submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of quotes.

(1) Quoters are responsible for submitting quotes, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that quotes or revisions are due.

(2) Any quote, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an quote received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of quotes is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful quote, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be selected.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotes cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotes by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of quotes will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Quotes may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of quotes.

Oral quotes in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile quotes , quotes may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of quotes, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile quotes. A quote may be withdrawn in person by a quoter or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of quotes, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the quote.

(g) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and issue a purchase order without negotiating with quoters. Therefore, the quoter's initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations, with one or more quoters, if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary or advantageous. The Contracting Officer will not negotiate with any quoters other than those of the Government's choice and will not use the formal procedures described in FAR subpart 15.3 (e.g., FAR 15.306). The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may select any item or group of items of a quote, unless the quoter qualifies the quote by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, quotes may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity quoted, at the unit prices quoted, unless the quoter specifies otherwise in the quote.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(1)

(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of Federal specifications, standards, and product descriptions can be downloaded from the ASSIST website athttps://assist.dla.mil.

Addendum to Evaluation - Commercial Product and Commercial Services

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

SF 1449 Addendum

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

(a) In accordance with FAR 13.106 and FAR subpart 13.5, the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror 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:

(i) Past performance; and

(ii) Price

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. 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 quoter 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. Quote Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows:

A. General: We will award a contract to the responsible contractor who represents the best value to the Government on the basis of its (1) quote, and (2) past performance.

: 1. Quote We will determine the merits of your quote on the basis of (a) its acceptability and (b) its quoted 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, include those terms affecting quality, quantity, price, or delivery;

(ii) manifests your unconditional assent to the terms of this Request for Quote (RFQ). If you (1) take 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 contract award.

(iii) you are a responsible prospective contractor pursuant to 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.)

: (b) Price We will evaluate your price for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FARS 13.106-3(a).

Additionally, the Government will perform a price realism analysis considering the level of effort and the mix of labor proposed to perform in accordance with the performance work statement, and for determining that the total price is realistic (not too low).

As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR (c) Options.

Clause 52.217-8 by adding one half of the quoter's final option period price to the quoter's total price. Thus, the quoter's total price for the purpose of the evaluation will include the base period, total of options, and one-half of the last year option to determine the evaluated price. Quoters are required only to price the base and option CLINs. Quoters shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period as identified at 52-217-8. We may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate government to exercise an option.

C. Past Performance Factor

1. General: Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which you have satisfied your customers in the past and complied with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Your past performance is relevant to this competition when you have done recent work that has confronted you with the same kinds of challenges that you would during performance of the contract described by the RFQ. reasonably expect to encounter The past performance assessment will assess the prime's (hereafter referred to as quoter's) ability to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the quoter's demonstrated past work record. The Government will evaluate the quoter's demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet users' needs, including cost and schedule. The recency and relevancy of the information, the source of the information, context of the data and general trends in the contractor's performance will be considered. Past performance information may be obtained from any sources available to the Government. For example, the Government may retrieve past performance information from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), GSA, or Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). As a result, this RFQ does not include a past performance information submittal from quoters.

Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS): We will assess your past performance on a pass/fail basis using the SPRS. A risk score of Red (lowest 5%) or Yellow (Next 10%) will be considered unacceptable. If no information is found, that will be treated as neutral which is considered acceptable. An unacceptable risk rating will be grounds for exclusion from award consideration.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Contract award.

offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

Requests for Information (RFI): Questions or clarifications can be sent to the point of contact through email and a response will be posted to SAM.gov on an RFI response sheet. Questions will be accepted no later than 10 April

2025, 1 PM PDT.
