CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.209-7 INFORMATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (JULY 2013)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

Administrative proceeding means a non-judicial process that is adjudicatory in nature in order to make a determination of fault or liability (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission Administrative Proceedings, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals Proceedings, and Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals Proceedings). This includes administrative proceedings at the Federal and State level but only in connection with performance of a Federal contract or grant. It does not include agency actions such as contract audits, site visits, corrective plans, or inspection of deliverables.

Federal contracts and grants with total value greater than $10,000,000 means--

(1) The total value of all current, active contracts and grants, including all priced options; and

(2) The total value of all current, active orders including all priced options under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, 8(a), or requirements contracts (including task and delivery and multiple-award Schedules).

Principal means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The offeror ( ) has ( ) does not have current active Federal contracts and grants with total value greater than $10,000,000.

(c) If the offeror checked “has” in paragraph (b) of this provision, the offeror represents, by submission of this offer, that the information it has entered in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) is current, accurate, and complete as of the date of submission of this offer with regard to the following information:

(1) Whether the offeror, and/or any of its principals, has or has not, within the last five years, in connection with the award to or performance by the offeror of a Federal contract or grant, been the subject of a proceeding, at the Federal or State level that resulted in any of the following dispositions:

(i) In a criminal proceeding, a conviction.

(ii) In a civil proceeding, a finding of fault and liability that results in the payment of a monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement, restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more.

(iii) In an administrative proceeding, a finding of fault and liability that results in--

(A) The payment of a monetary fine or penalty of $5,000 or more; or

(B) The payment of a reimbursement, restitution, or damages in excess of $100,000.

(iv) In a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding, a disposition of the matter by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault by the Contractor if the proceeding could have led to any of the outcomes specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(1)(ii), or (c)(1)(iii) of this provision.

(2) If the offeror has been involved in the last five years in any of the occurrences listed in (c)(1) of this provision, whether the offeror has provided the requested information with regard to each occurrence.

(d) The offeror shall post the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(iv) of this provision in FAPIIS as required through maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management database via https://www.acquisition.gov (see 52.204-7).

(End of provision)

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2015)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

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

(1) The solicitation number;

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

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

(4) A technical description of the items being offered 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;

(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 FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror 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 offer 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. Offers 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 offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, 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 offers. 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 offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, 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 offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer 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 offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers 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 offers 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.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

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

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with 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.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers 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 offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offerors, whose offers 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:

1. Solicitation

2. Technical Factors

i. Subfactor I: Technical Literature

ii. Subfactor II: Energy Efficiency Documentation

iii. Subfactor III: CE Conformance and Certification

iv. Subfactor IV: Either one of the following certificates VDE, TUEV, UL, CSA, or

BEAB

v. Subfactor V: Completion of the "Questionnaire for Offerors"

3. Past Performance

4. Price

(b) Basis for Award & Evaluation:

This will be a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a single contract without discussions with Offerors. The

Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. An overall technical rating must be "ACCEPTABLE" in order to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating, results in the technical proposal being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" unless corrected through discussions. An overall technical rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a proposal ineligible for award.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of 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, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(d) The Government intends to evaluate proposals/offers and award a contract without discussions to one vendor. Therefore, each proposal/offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

Technical acceptability will be based on a Offeror submitting an offer that demonstrates the Offeror's ability to comply with all of the requirements listed in the solicitation and specifications. The technical factor ratings reflect the acceptability or unacceptability of the Offeror's proposal/offer and will be evaluated using the ratings below. Each proposal/offer shall contain the information required for evaluation in accordance with the evaluation criteria, the requirements listed in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, and criteria contained in the solicitation.

Offers that do not conform to the requirements of the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation, deliberation, or discussion. Offers will be evaluated for technical acceptability based on the technical acceptability standards below:

Factor 1: Solicitation - Failure to follow the below contract proposal preparation instructions may cause the proposal to be deemed non-responsive by the Government. This document shall contain:

(1) The signed and dated Standard Form 1449 and acknowledgement of all RFP Amendments.

(2) In accordance with FAR 52.204-7, the offeror shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) (previously CCR) at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/

(3) Acceptance period: Offeror's proposal shall remain valid for a period of 120 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offer.

Factor 2: Technical - IAW with Technical Specifications and Salient Characteristics:

Subfactor 1: Technical Literature

Evaluation Criteria: Offeror submits detailed technical literature. The literature shall display all relevant data and features required as outline in the Technical Specifications and Salient Characteristics. One copy shall be provided in English language and one copy in German language.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Subfactor 2: Energy Efficiency Documentation

Evaluation Criteria: Offeror submits energy efficiency documentation of a minimum “A+” or better.

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Subfactor 4: One of the following certificates VDE, TUEV, UL, CSA, or BEAB

Evaluation Criteria: Offeror submits documentation showing proof one of the following certificates: VDE, TUEV, UL, CSA, BEAB.

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Subfactor 5: Completion of the Questionnaire for Offerors.

Evaluation Criteria: Offeror completed Questionnaire for Offerors. Questionnaire is Exhibit A.

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 3: Past Performance

a. Offerors past performance will be based on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis. The information presented by each Offeror, Past Performance Questionnaires received, and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, will be the basis for evaluation of this factor.

Performance Acceptability Descriptions

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

b. The Government will consider offeror’s previous and current record of contractual performance. The assessment will focus on recent contracts that are relevant to the effort required by this solicitation.

RECENT PAST PERFORMANCE – is defined as performance within the past 3 calendar years from the due date of this solicitation.

RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE – is defined as work similar in scope and magnitude as the services required by this solicitation.

c. It is at the Government’s discretion to determine whether past performance information furnished is or is not considered recent and relevant. The Government may reject a proposal if it is found that any information that has a negative impact on the offeror’s past performance record has been deleted, misrepresented, or withheld.

d. The information presented by the offeror, responses to the Past Performance Questionnaire and information obtained from other available sources other than those identified by the offerors (such as past performance information obtained from Federal, State and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media, personal knowledge and electronic data bases available to the Government) will be the basis for evaluation of this factor.

e. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proving an acceptable past performance rests with the offerors.

f. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the contracts identified in their past performance submissions and the offerors’ corrective actions.

g. The Government will query the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) to obtain finalized past performance information for contracts provided by the offeror.

NOTE: Past performance information is finalized only after the Contractor has had an opportunity to review and respond to Government assessment. The Government reserves the right to utilize other finalized past performance available to the Government if it is determined to be recent and relevant.

Factor 4: Price - Lowest Price Technically Acceptable: After determination of all non-price factors as acceptable, the award will be made based on the acceptable offer with the lowest total evaluated price.

Price Exhibits: Offerors shall complete and submit item prices for all CLINs listed in the Price Exhibit. Offers received without completed Price Exhibits will be considered non-conforming and will not be considered for contract award. Total evaluated price will be the sum of each CLIN quantity total multiplied by the proposed unit price. (SEE EXAMPLE OF APPLIANCES
