(a) General:

(i) Whenever, the words “offer,” “proposal,” “offerors,” or similar terms are used in this solicitation, they shall be read to mean “quotation,” “quoter,” or similar corresponding term to reflect that this solicitation is a request for quotation and not a request for proposal or an invitation for bids.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:

Technical Proposal, Past Performance, and Pricing: Evaluation Factors are located in FAR 52.212-2 and will be used to evaluate offers based on the written information submitted and shall address the following:

Factor 1. Technical acceptability: Technical package shall include a signed written statement stating all, not partial, items required can be supplied by them in accordance with FAR clause 52.212-2(a). If providing “or equal” items, comply with FAR clause 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror on the basis of the lowest price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary.

Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following:

(a) 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:

Only those offerors who can supply all, not partial, items required will be eligible for award. If providing an “or equal” item, offeror shall comply with FAR provision 52.211-6 and provide specific product information demonstrating that the products quoted will meet the salient characteristics provided. Past performance will be evaluated using PPIRS, FAPIIS or other means. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall be treated neither favorable nor unfavorable. Award will then be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the technical acceptability standards (acceptable rating for products meeting salient characteristics).

(b) Not applicable.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an 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.
