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;

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

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

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

This procurement is being conducted under FAR 12. This is a full and open competition that will be awarded based upon the best value tradeoff method to the Government. The Government will select the quotes that provide the best value solution to the Government in terms of price and non-price factors.

The Government reserves the right to hold exchanges with quoters to clear up quote details and request quote adjustments if needed, and may also determine to make no award. Unless expressly noted otherwise in these Instructions to Quoters, any failure by a Quoter to assent to all of the material terms of the RFQ and/or comply with all of the requirements contained in these Instructions to Quoters shall result in rejection of the Quoter’s quote for technical unacceptability. Therefore, the Quoter’s initial quote should contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price and non-price standpoint.

NOTE: ALL NON-PRICE FACTORS ARE EQUAL IN IMPORTANCE. ALL NON-PRICE FACTORS

WHEN COMBINED ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

Awards will be made to the quoters whose quotes are most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below.

- NON-PRICE FACTORS

• Factor 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

- Management Plan / Narrative

- Furniture Illustration Sheets

- Product Technical Data

- Schedule

• Factor 2: EXPERIENCE

• Factor 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

- Factor 4: PRICE

Pricing will not be an adjectivally rated criterion, but will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) and FAR 15.404-1(c) to ensure that the final agreed to price is fair and reasonable. In accordance with FAR 9.104-1, the contracting officer shall use the SF 1449 and Required Responsibility Information to make a responsibility determination for award to the prospective contractor.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

NON-PRICE FACTORS

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Quoters must demonstrate technical capability and proficiency in satisfying the supplies and services requirements as defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The technical information shall not make reference to price data. The technical information shall, at a minimum, contain the information specified below.

(a) Management Plan / Narrative

Quoters shall submit a complete Management Plan that includes all of the detailed requirements defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Management Plan shall completely address the Quoter’s plans for managing this project and their capability and proficiency in providing all management, delivery, installation and other services and requirements listed in the PWS. The narrative shall include the quoter’s plan for delivery of the products as defined in the PWS. The Quoter’s Management Plan shall identify their Key Personnel, as specified in the PWS, including names, telephone numbers, email addresses, and contractor or subcontractor affiliation. The Quoter shall provide resumes detailing the qualifications and relevant experience and expertise for each of these Key Personnel in the Management Plan. The Quoter’s Management Plan and Key Personnel qualifications will be evaluated by the Government under this factor prior to award. The selected Quoter’s Management Plan and Key Personnel will be incorporated into the order as an attachment upon award.

The narrative shall also identify all product lines and manufacturers to be included for consideration under this solicitation. If products being submitted for consideration are different than the basis of design manufacturer/model in the CID, the quoter shall identify which JSNs are alternates. Products must meet all salient characteristics as defined in the PWS and CID.

(b) Furniture Illustration Sheets

Quoters shall provide a clearly organized and annotated presentation of the required products by Manufacturer and JSN number in the solicitation. The presentation of the proposed products shall be presented in the same order as the CID and in a format that clearly reflects the product, the series, the dimensions, fabrics and finishes and all features as required in the CID. Quoters shall provide Furniture Illustration Sheets (FIS) for each JSN, listing salient features/principal components, colors and finishes of manufacturer/product lines used. Submittal of Governments Furniture Illustration Sheets (FIS) or redacted FIS is unacceptable. Contractors Furniture Illustration Sheets shall clearly reflect the product they are providing with image and required salient features provided. Any deviations from the government’s original product specifications shall be clearly notated by providing manufacturers technical specifications with salient features from the Furniture Illustration Sheet highlighted and an explanation as to why the substitution/change is being submitted rather than the specified product (directly on the Furniture Illustration Sheet).

Quoters shall not parrot or copy the Furniture Illustration Sheets found in the government’s CID. Quoters shall create their own Furniture Illustration Sheets that clearly show the product and features being submitted for review.

If it determined that the Quoter is parroting or copying the CID, the quote may not be considered further for award.

(c) Product Technical Data

NOTE: If the quoted products are the same manufacturer, model, product line, specifications, salient features, etc as the products specified in the CID, technical data is not required.

For each product submitted that is different than the CID basis of design product, quoters shall submit product technical data. The technical data submitted shall clearly show the manufacturer’s construction, components, dimensions, fabrics, finishes, testing and any other salient features required on the Furniture Illustration Sheet for each product/JSN as required in the CID. All salient features and model numbers shall be highlighted on the technical data submitted. Quoter shall provide separate technical data for each series and product line. Duplicate technical data is not required for JSN’s with the same model number that differ only because of finishes or fabrics.

Furniture Illustration Sheets are a separate requirement, and are unacceptable as product technical data.

NOTE: Marketing materials or product brochures, without complete technical information, do not meet this requirement. Product brochures are not required or desired unless the brochures include full technical information about the product with all salient features highlighted.

If these documents include preprinted legends that deviate from the terms of this RFQ, such as "Products and prices subject to change without notice," then the Quoter must include a statement in the quotes that any such preprinted legends will not be effective for this procurement.

The fabrics cited in the CID should be provided unless they are unavailable, either because the cited fabric is proprietary to one manufacturer; the fabric is no longer being manufactured; or the lead time for manufacturing the fabric would delay product delivery in accordance with the schedule. In that case, alternate fabrics shall be submitted and shall be of the same or higher grade than the fabrics cited in the CID and shall comply with the minimum fabric standards listed below. Alternate fabrics shall be the same or similar color, material, pattern, scale, and texture as the fabrics specified in the CID.

Minimum Fabric Standards:

• ASTM D4157 Wyzenbeek Method (2002), minimum 75,000 double rubs

• ASTM D3511 Class 4, Brush Pill Test

• Colorfastness to Light, AATCC 16 Option 1 or 3 (2003), Grade 4 minimum at 40 hours

• California Technical Bulletin 117

All other finishes shall have a manufacturer’s standard finish that is the same as, or a close match to, the finish specified in the CID. All other finish colors defined in the CID are preliminary recommendations and are not mandatory. Colors and finishes shall be from the manufacturer’s standard offering.

(d) Schedule

The anticipated loose furniture installation start date for MED020 is 7 January 2019. The Quoter shall propose their best, most realistic schedule to meet this date. Milestones shall include, at a minimum, the milestones listed in the PWS. Milestones shall be expressed in the number of calendar days durations (after award) necessary to accomplish each task. The minimum duration listed in the PWS for Government approval of the final work plan is mandatory and shall not be changed by the Quoter. The Quoter shall include a narrative explaining how they will achieve the quoted schedule. The Government will incorporate the selected Quoter’s schedule into the contract.

FACTOR 2: EXPERIENCE

The Quoter shall submit three (3) to five (5) projects documenting the quoter’s technical experience on completed projects relevant to this solicitation. A “completed project” is a project for which all installation has been accepted by the customer. Projects submitted for experience shall be documented by providing an organized presentation for each submitted project that shall at a minimum include the following elements:

• Project Title / Location

• Prime Contractor

• Contract Number

• Contract Type

• Dollar Value

• Completion Date

• Key Personnel Involved

• Narrative on Breadth and Depth of Project Experience to include at a minmum:

- Size/Magnitude/Significance

- Description of Work Performed

- Applicability/Relevance to Proposed Contract

- Complexity

- Distinct/Unique Features

Quoters shall demonstrate the breadth and depth of their experience in performing the Governments requirements as identified in the PWS and CID. Breadth of experience is defined as the Quoter’s experience in performing the full range/all of the tasks required. Depth of experience is defined as the magnitude, significance, and applicability/relevance of the Quoter’s experience in performing each of the tasks required. The Government will only evaluate corporate experience and will not evaluate the experience of individual employees. Experience considered may include both government and commercial contracts in providing the same or similar products and services as described in the PWS and CID.

The Government places a high value on the following (listed in no particular order):

• Relevant projects are those that are similar in scope and size to this requirement. Similar in scope and size refers to healthcare facilities located overseas that are approximately 400,000+ square feet and had phased installations with both administrative areas and healthcare departments.

• A demonstrated ability to execute work for the United States Government and projects in which the firm or small business team, joint venture, or consortium involving two or more small businesses served as the prime contractor

• Larger projects and projects with multiple phases

• Technical experience in which the Quoter and/or its subcontractors successfully executed projects located Outside Continental United States (OCONUS). Specifically projects that took place in the Republic of Korea will be given an even higher value than other overseas projects.

The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s experience based on the requirements set forth. A reading of the Experience Reference documents should leave an evaluator with a complete understanding of all aspects of the Quoter’s and key subcontractors’ capability and experience to meet the terms and conditions of this solicitation throughout the contract term. The Quoter and its team’s experience will be evaluated to determine if the team has the capability and the resources available to perform any and all of the requirements expected under this contract.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

Quoters shall provide projects of past performance on the same three (3) to five (5) projects submitted under Factor 2 for Experience. Projects submitted shall have been executed by the quoter and its team members as either a prime contractor or a key subcontractor. Previous projects shall include projects completed within the past 36 months of the date of this solicitation. Substantive considerations include quality; schedule/timeliness of performance;

customer satisfaction; management/personnel/labor; cost/financial management; safety/security; and general considerations.

Past performance information for each project must include a point of contact (name, company or agency name, phone number, and email address), contract number, contract type, dollar value, date of award, performance period, and a brief narrative describing the nature and complexity of the work. The quoter shall also describe their effort in the project and its relevance to this solicitation. Quoters should identify any significant problems encountered on the identified contracts and the contractor's corrective actions. If no such problems were encountered, the Quoter shall make a statement to this effect for each project.

Quoters shall provide the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment D, to the customer point of contact for each referenced past-performance project. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with the quote. If the quoter is unable to obtain a completed PPQ form from a client for a project(s) before the solicitation closing date, the quoter should complete and submit with the quote the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Quoters should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Melissa Jennings, via email at Melissa.O.Jennings@usace.army.mil and CEHNC-CT-IO&T-IMMSS- QUOTE@usace.army.mil prior to the closing date. Quoters shall not incorporate by reference into their quote PPQs previously submitted for other RFQs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted relevant PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. Questionnaires are requested no later than 12:00 P.M. CDT on 11 April 2018 and will only be accepted via email.

The Quoter should also include performance recognition documents received within the last 3 years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition received on relevant projects.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contactor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the quoter’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (ESRS), and any other known sources not provided by the quoter.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Quoter.

In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
