FAR provision 52.212-1 (NOV 2021) is hereby replaced in its entirety

Instructions to Quoters-Commercial Products and Commercial Services

(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 quotes. Submit signed and dated quotes to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Quotes may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, quotes must show—

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of quotes (if specified);

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the quoter;

(4) A technical description of the items being quoted in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(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 quoter 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 quote 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. Quotes 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 quotes. The quoter agrees to hold the prices in its quote firm for 110 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of quotes, 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 quotes. 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 quotes. Quoters are encouraged to submit multiple quotes 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 quote submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of quotes.

(1) Quoters are responsible for submitting quotes, 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 quotes or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any quote, modification, revision, or withdrawal of a quote received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of quotes is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful quote, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received prior to award.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotes cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotes 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 quotes 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.

(4) Quote may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of quotes. Oral quotes in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile quotes, quotes may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of quotes, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile quotes. A quote may be withdrawn in person by a quoter or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of quotes, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the quote.

(g) Purchase order issuance. Quotes should contain the quoter’s best technical and price terms. The Contracting Officer may reject any or all quotations. The Contracting Officer may issue a purchase order to other than the quoter with the lowest priced quotation. After the evaluation of quotations, the Contracting Officer may negotiate final terms with one or more quoters of the Government’s choice before issuing any purchase order. The Contracting Officer will not negotiate with any quoters other than those of the Government’s choice and will not use the formal source selection procedures described in FAR Part 15.

(h) Multiple purchase orders. The Government may issue a purchase order for any item or group of items of a quote, unless the quoter qualifies the quote by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, quotes may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to issue a purchase order for any item for a quantity less than the quantity quoted, at the unit prices quoted, unless the quoter specifies otherwise in the quote.

Quote preparations instructions

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.

Your quote will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. The Government will consider how well you complied with these instructions. Submit quotes via email to chad.r.walton.civ@army.mil and neosenys.gottal@us.af.mil. Vendors are responsible for confirming that we have received the email with the quotes.

Your quote shall also include the following:

1. Technical Risk: Quoters must submit a one-page capability statement highlighting (1) verifiable corporate experience (experience), and (2) past performance (quality) regarding its areas of specialty, expertise, and, overall capabilities to perform the tasks in section 5 of the performance work statement (PWS).

(End of provision)

BASIS FOR AWARD

BASIS OF AWARD- EVALUATION

I. Basis for Contract Award – Evaluation of Quotations-Simplified Acquisition Procedures

(a) In accordance with FAR 13.106, 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 government will utilize the following factors to conduct a comparative evaluation of the quotes:

(i) Technical –risk; and

(ii) Price

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. This includes options under FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, if included in this solicitation. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier’s quotation does not establish a contract. A written notice of award or purchase order, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.

II. Quote Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows:

(a) Technical - Risk: Quoter’s experience and past performance will be evaluated to assess risk. The Government will evaluate quoter’s and their capability statements and assign one of the confidence risk ratings below.

Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the quoter’s experience and performance record, the Government has a high confidence that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort and the risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the quoter’s experience and performance record, the Government has a reasonable confidence that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, and the risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Limited Confidence Based on the quoter’s experience and performance record, the Government has a low confidence that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, and the risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

No Confidence Based on the quoter’s experience and performance record, the Government has no confidence that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort, and the risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Proposal is unawardable.

(b) Price: We will evaluate your price for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a).
