Orders under this threshold will not be issued on an individual Delivery Order FORM 1449, however, all requirements of the contract award, and all policies and procedures will be applicable to orders by the designated official.

The following describes the procedures to be used for ordering items under this contract by using the Federal Government-wide purchase card. This option to order by use of the Government-wide purchase card is strictly an alternative method of ordering by the Government and may be used in place of ordering by other order forms that comply with FAR 12.204. The Government reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the use of the credit card at any time.

All ordering officers may use the Government-wide purchase card, commonly referred to as the Government "credit card," as an alternative method of ordering and paying for purchases made under this contract. Purchase card orders are subject to all terms and conditions of this contract, unless otherwise stated in this provision or another provision or clause in this contract.

The purchase card is specifically designed for use by the Federal Government. The purchase card is like a typical commercial credit card. However, the authorization limitations of the purchase card are more specific, i.e., only for a particular contract, monthly limitations, certain categories of products or services, etc. The purchase card will be exclusively used for official Government purchases in accordance with the prices, terms, and conditions of this contract. The purchase card order limitation shall be $25,000. With respect to ordering authority, only designated Ordering Officers may use the purchase card as a means of purchasing items on this contract.

Credit limits for the purchase card for ordering officers is $25,000. These credit limits for the purchase card are the responsibility of the credit card holder and the approving office.

The contractor shall accept payment via credit card for projects authorized by the ordering officers and that have followed the required policies and procedures within this solicitation and resultant contract.

Invoices for orders placed by the ordering officer will be submitted directly to the ordering officer. However, use of WAWF to create and accept receiving reports is mandatory when the GPC is used as a method of payment against a contract. In order to ensure proper routing of contract transactions paid with the GPC, use the code "CRCARD" in the Pay Official/DoDAAC field. The contractor is required to generate a receiving report in WAWF, and the Government acceptor is required to accept the receiving report in WAWF. The Cardholder is required to verify that acceptance has occurred in WAWF prior to submitting the invoice to the Certifying Official for certification.

21. INFORMATION FOR EVALUATION

This section supplements clause 51.212-1 and 52.212-2 which is included elsewhere in this request for quote. The Government will award a contract resulting from this request for quote to the responsible offeror whose quote, conforming to the request for quote, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial quote 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 quotes if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest priced quotes; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

In case of discrepancy between a unit price and an extended price listed in the Item number, the unit price will be presumed to be correct, subject, however, to correction to the same extent and in the same manner as any other mistake.

This solicitation shall be evaluated by awarding to the quote that is technically acceptable and the lowest price.

TECHNICAL FACTOR:

**In response to the solicitation/request for quote for this requirement, Offerors shall submit supporting documentation explicitly showing how the Salient Features and contract terms and conditions will be met. Supporting documentation can be documents such as brochures, pamphlets, screenshots, etc of the proposed item that specifically lists the salient features, and can be compared to the salient features listed in the solicitation.

Evaluation –Each item in Technical Requirements Table will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. Any criterion that receives “U” rating will result in an overall unacceptable rating for the factor and are not eligible for award.

The offeror meets the minimum salient features of all items being procured.

PRICE FACTOR:

Submission Instructions – Offerors shall submit a fully completed SF 1449, Pricing Schedule, or acceptable alternative as identified elsewhere in the RFQ.

This solicitation shall be evaluated based on prices and salient features listed in the Solicitation.

Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating; and will be evaluated to determine if the Offeror's quoted price is fair, reasonable, and balanced. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if prices are significantly unbalanced. Price shall be evaluated at estimated quantities multiplied times their respective unit price.

Unrealistically Low Prices: Unrealistically low quoted prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a quote from competition.

Unbalanced Pricing: Offerors are cautioned against submitting a quote that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. The Government shall analyze quotes to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or subline items. Quotes that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

22. ALTERNATE DISPUTES RESOLUTION: In furtherance of Federal policy and the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1990 (ADR Act), Public Law 101-552 and FAR Clause 52.233-1, Subparagraph (d) (2) (1) (B) (2), the Contracting Officer will try to resolve all post award acquisition issues in controversy by mutual agreement of both parties. Interested parties are encouraged to use alternative dispute resolution procedures to the maximum.

23. LEGAL COMPLIANCE: The Contractor shall comply with all Federal, State, and Local Laws, codes and regulations applicable to his performance under this contract, and shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with said compliance.
