These instructions are designed to ensure the submission of necessary information to provide for the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of quotes. In the RFQ procedures, the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror shall be awarded the contract. The submission of a low quote does not in and of itself determine responsibility of an offeror and therefore it is necessary to require additional information in order that the Contracting Officer may make an award based on the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror. Mistakes and omissions in the offeror’s quote shall be processed IAW FAR 14.407.

1.1. QUOTE SUBMISSION

a. Quotes shall be submitted prior to the closing date and time of, 21 February 2023 at 2:00 PM (CDT), to the following address:

e. Industry question (s) shall be submitted not later than 17 Feb 2023. Industry questions received after 17 Feb 2019 @ 2:00 pm CST, will not be accepted.

Please identify the applicable Performance Work Statement (PWS) paragraph number or solicitation reference with each question.

f. All quotes received as per these instructions will be opened after closing date listed in 1.1.a above. Any quotes received after RFQ closing will be considered late and processed in accordance with FAR 52.214-7.

2. QUOTE CONTENT

2.1. RFQ Documents. RFQ shall contain a signed copy of all documents requiring signature of the offeror. RFQ should include the following information:

a. TAB A – Transmittal Summary Letter. A summary cover letter to the submission should provide the following:

(i) Please include the following information with your quote:

COMPANY:

NAME:

POC:

PHONE:

EMAIL ADDRESS:

CAGE CODE:

DUNS/EIN NUMBER:

Tax ID Number:

(ii) Identification of the Point of Contact (POC), current phone number and email address;

(iii) A list of the submission package contents; and

(iv) A listing of offeror’s subcontractors and /or teaming partners that the offeror historically uses when involved in contracts of this type.

(v) Offeror shall submit corporate evidence that they have the applicable licenses and certification to perform the required tasks as listed within the Performance Work Statement.

b. TAB B – Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. Failure to completely fill out

CLIN Pricing Schedule and Exhibit A with your quote pricing will result in a non-responsive quote and will be eliminated from award consideration.

c. TAB C – Representations, Certifications, and Other Statement of Offerors.

The offeror shall ensure that their business has completed their online Representations and Certifications at the System and Awards management (SAM) website which may be found at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM// . It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure that the information provided in each certification/representation is completed truthfully and completely. Failure of the Offeror to complete their online certification/representation prior to the close of the RFQ (to include listing of the applicable NAICS code or applicable size standard) will result in their quote being deemed non-responsive and eliminated from consideration of the award.

Additionally, please return the following Reps and Certs as part of the Quote content as provided. These may be filled out manually or the offeror may provide a printed version as listed within their SAM registration:

(1) Complete and submit 52.209-5

(2) Complete and submit 52.212-3

(3) Complete and submit 52.219-1

(4) Complete and submit 52.219-28

2. QUOTE EVALUATIONS

2.1. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2 and FAR 15.305, the following evaluation factors shall determine the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote:

A. Price – Offeror shall have completely filled SF 1449 CLIN of the RFQ and Exhibit A in its entirety. Please refer to paragraph 1, QUOTE SUBMISSION, PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS, AND CONTENT as it pertains to mistakes and omissions in the offeror’s quote. When contracting on a firm-fixed price, comparison of the proposed prices will usually satisfy the requirement to perform a price analysis, and a cost analysis need not be performed. In limited situations, a cost analysis may be appropriate to establish reasonableness of the otherwise successful offeror’s price.

B. Technical Evaluation – Corporate evidence is provided in TAB A that clearly shows that the offeror has the required licenses and certifications to perform the required tasks as listed in the Performance Work Statement. Failure to provide the evidence shall remove the offeror from competition and deemed as non-responsive. TAB C of the offeror’s printed SAM Reps and Certs clearly show that the offeror is eligible to receive the award based on their Small Business Size Status for the NAICS listed.

C. Past performance Evaluation – the offeror is not currently barred, or ant derogatory information contained within the Government wide Past performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) is found. Any offeror that is barred from doing business with the government will be deemed as non-responsible.

The following have been modified:

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees if the acquisition--

(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(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;

(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 Federal Acquisition Regulation (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, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services 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.
