Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) is being issued in accordance with (IAW) FAR Parts 12 and 13 procedures. The Vendor's quote shall be submitted as outlined below.

1.2. The acquisition utilizing NAICS Code 337214, Office Furniture (except wood) with a small business size standard of 1,100 employees. A single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) delivery order is contemplated to be awarded.

2. The Contactor shall furnish all the labor, equipment, facilities, and materials, and supplies to manufacture and supply the required items in a timely manner.

3. Amendments: Amendments to this solicitation will be posted to sam.gov. Paper copies of the amendments will NOT be individually mailed. Potential Vendor's are advised that they are responsible for obtaining and acknowledging any amendments to the solicitation. Failure to acknowledge an amendment may result in your quote being considered unacceptable.

4. Basis for Award: The Government intends to award a single delivery order to the responsible offeror whose quote represents the best value to the Government. Best value is expected to result from the evaluation of technical acceptability, price, and information contained in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS)/Past Performance. Commercial and Simplified Acquisition Procedures will be utilized to the maximum extent in a streamlined evaluation IAW FAR 13.106-1(a)(2)(i). Award may be made without discussions with offerors. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest priced quote. Vendors are cautioned that an unrealistically low price, as proposed initially or subsequently, may be ground for eliminating a quote from consideration, either on the basis that the quoter does not understand the requirement, or he/she made an imprudent offer. Evaluation will be solely on the information included in the quotation. Therefore, the offerors initial quotation should contain the offerors best terms. After receipt of quotes, the Government will conduct an evaluation. However, during the evaluation process, the Government may, solely at its discretion, communicate with vendors regarding quote elements.

5. The Government reserves the right to award multiple awards in response to quotes received. The quoters shall price each line separately. Also, the Government reserves the right to not award any contract in response to this solicitation.

W912JD25QA0240001

6. Quote Preparation Instructions: Quotes shall be based on the requirements of the solicitation and must contain the following. All information shall be confined to the appropriate file. The quoter shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the quote in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each quote. Each file of the quote shall consist of a Table of Contents. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

7. Quoters will be evaluated on the basis of information furnished by the vendor and submitted with the quote. The information called for is essential in determining whether or not the products being offered meet the salient characteristics of the Request for Quotations. Failure to submit the required information may preclude consideration of the quote for purchase.

8. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The evaluation factors are (1) Technical, (2) Price, and

(3) SPRS/Past Performance. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Contracting Officer will integrate the evaluation of Technical, Price, and SPRS/Past Performance.

Part 1 - Technical: Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. A quoter shall obtain an "Acceptable" rating or higher to continue further in the competition. Quoters who are deemed to merit an "Unacceptable" rating in the Technical Capability factor will be removed from further consideration for award. Once the minimum requirements are established, the team shall evaluate the vendor's quote against the salient characteristic requirements to determine whether the quote is good, acceptable, or unacceptable, using the description outlined below. Quotes are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-price factors/subfactors. Rating descriptions are as follows:

Technical Adjectival Rating:

Description:

Acceptable Quote/Proposal demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirement.

Unacceptable Quote/Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is not awardable.

Technical Documentation: The vendor shall submit specifications, descriptive literature such as manufacture cut-sheets, or brochures confirming the items, make or model number to clearly reference the descriptive data being provided. An active html link is an acceptable means to provide the information as well. Contractor's quoted supplies shall, at a minimum, meet the salient characteristics, specifications, deliverables, or performance requirements outlined in the solicitation.

Part 2 Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability or quality of the item offered to the Government requirement shall not be selected regardless of price. Price will be used to evaluates a quote's price and the extent to which it is fair and reasonable. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3. Through these techniques the Government will determine whether the price is reasonable, complete and is not unbalanced.

Part 3 SPRS/Past Performance: Include a minimum of two and maximum of three project summaries in which each demonstrate recency, scope, and magnitude to this type of requirement. Referrals may be contacted, please provide the following format.

Past performance will be evaluated on a Satisfactory, Neutral and Limited Confidence basis using information from the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and/or any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS) or other databases. The Government shall utilize information contained in SPRS, if available, as described in 52.204-7024. Offerors or quoters without a risk assessment in SPRS shall not be considered favorably or unfavorably. SPRS generates a risk rating of Red (lowest 5%), Yellow (next 10%), Green (next 70%), Purple (next 10%) or Blue (top 5%). For evaluation purposes, a risk rating of Red or Yellow will be deemed unacceptable. A risk rating of Green, Purple, or Blue will be deemed satisfactory confidence. If no information is found, that will be treated as neutral which is considered acceptable. The Government may obtain Past Performance information from interviews from the point of contracts provided, and/or any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS) or other databases.

Limited C onfidence

Based on offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has low expectation the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

The past performance relevancy evaluation method is detailed below:
