AMENDMENT 0001 NARRATIVE

The purpose of this amendment is to do the following:

1) Re-open the Soliciation and extend the closing date from 31 August 2023 at 1000 CST until 20 September 2023 at 1000 CST.

2) To change the “EVALUATION CRITERIA” and the “INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS”. Read these sections very carefully.

3) Revise the RIPD, specifically Section 4.1 Features.

4) All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

The following have been modified:

EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Basis for Contract Award: The Government plans to award a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order utilizing the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures with FAR 15.101-2. The evaluation factors include Technical(ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE) and Price. The technical factor will be rated as ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE. Contractors who do not receive a ACCEPTABLE rating for all technical subfactors, and an overall ACCEPTABLE rating for the Technical factor will not be further evaluated and will not be eligible for award. The Government will not rate or rank proposals, but will select the proposal that provides the best overall value to the Government based on the lowest total evaluated price of those proposals deemed technically acceptable.

2. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a purchase order without discussions with contractors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offerors initial proposal should contain their best terms for technical and price. However; the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

3. Evaluation Factors:

Factor 1: Technical

Subfactor 1: Compliances:

2.1 RIPD Compliance: Each offeror shall provide a statement of compliance. It shall be a copy of the RIPD at Attachment 0001. At the end of each and every paragraph the offeror shall type or write exactly either "COMPLY" or "NON- COMPLY". Other formats will not be considered acceptable. The offeror may include reasoning or an explanation in the case that they state “NON- COMPLY” with any paragraph.

In certain instances, the Government may determine these deficiencies as a “minor non-compliance” and to be an acceptable deviation to the specification.

ACCEPTABLE:

The offeror’s RIPD Compliance is a copy of the RIPD and at the end of each and every paragraph the vendor responded exactly either “COMPLY” or “NON-COMPLY”. If “NON-COMPLY” is written, a brief description of the non-compliance was provided. Any non-compliances which are determined to be minor non-compliances and are determined to be an acceptable deviation to the specification.

UNACCEPTABLE:

The proposal does not include a Compliance Statement or the Compliance Statement is not a copy of the RIPD and/or does not include at the end of each and every paragraph typed or written exactly either “COMPLY” or “NON-COMPLY”.

Any non-compliances are determined to be unacceptable.

The equipment offered does not meet the requirements of the RIPD even if noted properly.

Subfactor 2: Equipment Identification: Each offeror shall identify the specific Manufacturer and model number offered against each equipment component. The offeror may provide a written brochure to provide evidence that the proposed item will meet the performance characteristics required in the RIPD.
