A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. These instructions are a guide for preparing quotes. These instructions generally describe the type and extent of information the Offeror should provide and emphasize the significant topic areas the Offeror should address in the quote. The Offeror is expected to review the Statement of Work (SOW) contained within this Request for Quote (RFQ) for further insight into the areas that the quote must address.

The Offeror should include sufficient information to enable the evaluators to determine the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements in each of the evaluated areas. Data requested for evaluation has been clearly identified in this solicitation. Offerors should note the provision at FAR 52.215-1, “Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition”.

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from Request for Quote without discussions with offerors (except clarifications described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, offerors initial quotes should contain the best terms. The Government does however, reserve the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

Absent the opening of discussions, if required, the Government will not accept any changes, additions, or deletions for evaluation purposes.

I. PAGE LIMITATIONS AND LAYOUT. Quotes must be submitted in electronic form as attachments.

IV. Volume III – Price Factor

Proposed prices will be used by the Government to calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). For each proposal, the Government will calculate a Total Evaluated Price by adding the total of the Base Period and VAT. The Offeror shall complete the Price Matrix (Attachment 0001) as detailed below.

Offerors shall submit their proposals using the MS Excel Price Matrix (Attachment 0001).

Failure to propose prices for all blue highlighted cells may result in the Offeror’s proposal being considered unacceptable and ineligible for award. The Price Matrix consists of two tabs, the Price Matrix Summary tab and the Detail tab. All proposed firm-fixed prices will be binding.

Gray shaded cells represent totals or Government developed surrogates; no action is required by Offerors in relation to gray shaded cells.

Please note that on CLIN 0005 - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Value Added Tax (VAT), the Government has calculated that at a rate of 15%. Make sure the VAT is not included in your FFP proposed cost.

All prices for this acquisition shall be stated in current U.S. dollars, rounded and displayed to two decimal places. (Current U.S. dollars shall be interpreted to include escalation where appropriate.) It is noted that the terms of FAR 52.222-43, Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act – Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts shall be considered when proposing rates). The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.

The Price Matrix is locked to prevent inadvertent changes. Offerors shall not alter the Price Matrix in any way. If an Offeror changes the price matrix, its proposal may be considered unacceptable and ineligible for award. The Price Matrix shall be completed as follows:

Offerors shall complete the Price Matrix Summary tab by entering its Offeror Name, Unique Entity ID, Cage Code, and proposal date in the blue highlighted cells.

Offerors shall complete the Detail tab by entering Unit Prices in Column F in the blue highlighted cells.

For all cells on the Price Matrix Summary/Detail tabs that are not highlighted in blue, they are either pre-populated, or they will populate automatically as they include formulas that will sum values of other cells from within the Price Matrix Summary tab.

Price proposals are assumed to represent the Offeror’s best efforts, as final proposal revisions may not be requested. Any additional information considered necessary to explain the proposed pricing shall be submitted at the time of proposal submission.

Price Information: All information relating to the proposed price including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

The Government reserves the right to request data other than certified cost or pricing data or certified cost or pricing data when necessary to validate the price reasonableness of an offer.
