Contract Clauses

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

FAR 52.212-1 is replaced in its entirety by this addendum:

INSTRUCTIONS TO QUOTERS

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s)for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits a quotation in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of quotations. Submit signed and dated quotations to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Quotations may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, quotations must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

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

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

(4) A technical description of the items being quoted in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

W50S9024QA0050001

(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 FAR52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the quoter shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the quotation is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Quotations that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of quotations. The quoter agrees to hold the prices in its quotation firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of quotations, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of quotations. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple quotations. Quoters are encouraged to submit multiple quotations presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each quotation submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions:

(1) Quoters are responsible for submitting quotations, 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 1:00 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that quotations are due.

(2)(i) Any quotation received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of quotations is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quotation would not unduly delay the acquisition.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the quote wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotations cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotations 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 quotations 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.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotations received. Therefore, the quoter's initial quotation should contain the quoter's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or negotiate final purchase order terms with, one or more, but not all, quoters if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. However, the Contracting Officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise use the procedures described at FAR 15.306. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; and issue a purchase to other than the quoter with the lowest price quotation.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may issue a purchase order for any item or group of items of a quotation, unless the quoter qualifies the quotation by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, quotations 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 quotation.

The quoter also shall enter its Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator, if applicable. The EFT indicator is a four-character suffix to the unique entity identifier. The suffix is assigned at the discretion of the quoter to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see FAR subpart 32.11) for the same entity. If the quoter does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The quoter should indicate that it is an quoter for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(k) Reserved.

(l) Requests for information. The contracting officer will not notify unsuccessful quoters that responded to this solicitation. Quoters may request information on award(s) resulting from this solicitation from the contracting officer.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIALPRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote 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:

Factor 1: Technical

Factor 2: Price

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

(End of provision)

Addendum to 52.212-2

BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to make a single award, for all the work, contract as a result of this solicitation. As set forth in addendum to 52.212-2, the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions, however, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Therefore, the quoter's initial quote should contain the best terms from a price, and technical standpoint.

Basis for award is Best Value between price and non-price factors. Therefore, the government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest quoted price. However, the degree of importance of price as a factor in determining award could become greater depending upon the equality of the quotes evaluated in the non-price factors. The greater the equality of proposals within the non-price factors, the more important price becomes in selecting the best value to the Government.

The award will be made based on the best overall quote, based upon and integration of the two (2) factors: Technical, and Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved. Quoters are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest priced quote.

EVALUATIONAPPROACH

All quotes shall be subject to evaluation. Any item not addressed will deem a quoter non-responsive and may result in removal from consideration.

Technical Factor. The Technical evaluation provides an assessment of the quoter's capability to satisfy the Government's requirements. The evaluation will focus on the strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies of the quote.

Factor 1: Technical Approach.

1. List of equipment and labor disciplines necessary to accomplish the performance objectives identified in the statement of work.

2. Draft maintenance schedule that conveys a realistic plan for managing the activities necessary to accomplish the performance objectives identified in the Statement of Work in the required period of performance.

3. Demonstration of the ability to provide technicians that are Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA) certified.

Table 1: Combined Management & Technical/Risk Rating

Color Rating Adjectiv al Rating

Blue Outstan ding

Quote demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements, contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength.

Purple Good Quote demonstrates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength.

Green Accepta ble

Quote demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Yellow Margina l

Quote has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Red Unaccep table

Quote does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is un-awardable.

Price

Factor 2: Price. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3. Through these techniques the Government will evaluate the price for reasonableness, completeness and price realism.

Definitions.

Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.

Completeness. The quote is in compliance with the instructions in the solicitation.

Realism: In this regard, the Government is aware that an overly optimistic price quote may lead to various negative impacts on both the agency and the contractor. Further, unrealistic price quotes may lead the Government to reasonably question the quoter understands of the requirement. An unrealistically low quote increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

REQUIREMENT TO INFORM EMPLOYEES OF WHISTLEBLOWER RIGHTS (DEC 2022)

(a) The Contractor shall inform its employees in writing, in the predominant native language of the workforce, of contractor employee whistleblower rights and protections under 10 U.S.C. 4701, as described in subpart 203.9 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement.

(b) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (b), in all subcontracts.

(End of clause)

52.237-1 Site Visit (APR 1984)

Offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

(End of provision)

NG Agency Protest Program

NGB Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum.

Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency's Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures.

To be timely, the protests must be filed with the periods specified in FAR 33.103.To file a protest under the NG Agency Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:

National Guard Bureau

Office of the Director of Acquisitions/Head of Contracting Activity

111 S. George Mason Dr.
