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;

(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

(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.

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

(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:

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 (GO/NO-GO) and Price. The technical factor will be rated as GO/NO-GO.

Contractors who do not receive a GO rating for the technical subfactors, and an overall GO 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 an purchase order without discussions with contractors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the contractors initial proposal should contain the contractors 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 Experience: Each contractor shall provide information regarding your experience in manufacturing, supplying, and/or offering for sale in the regular course of business, three (3) years preceeding this solicitation, the type of equipment requested in this solicitation. Contractor shall have provided the following as evidence:

Published Data: Each contractor provided a brochure, catalog, or other published data describing the equipment offered.

Based on the documentation received and any information that the Government obtains from the World Wide Web, a GO Rating will be given if your company has in the course of regular business, manufacturing, providing, or offered for sale the type of equipment requested in this solicitation. A NO- GO rating will be given if your company does not have three (3) years of relevant experience manufacturing, providing, or offering for sale the type of equipment requested in this solicitation.

SubFactor 2 RIPD Compliance: Proposals will be evaluated based on a line-by-line compliance statement submitted. A compliance statement that is fully compliant or has minor non-compliances, as determined by the Government, will be given a GO Rating.

Compliance Statements that do not comply with the areas of the RIPD that are determined major by the Government will be given a NO-GO Rating.

Factor 2: Price: Those contractors that receive a GO rating on the technical factors, their proposals will be evaluated on the prices proposed for all CLIN's and options (if applicable) and any other pricing factors required by the solicitation.

For each proposal, the Government will calculate the Total Evaluated Price for all CLINs.

Total Evaluated Price is the sum of all the evaluated CLINs.

Contractors must submit a price for all CLINs to be considered for award. Contractors shall make their proposed pricing valid for 90 calendar days from the date of their proposal.

The Government intends to award to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(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. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
