(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.

Note: This solicitation is a Request for Quotations (RFQ). A quotation is not an offer, and this is not a request for proposals. While the debriefing procedures described above are required by statute, the Government may provide a brief explanation to unsuccessful quoters upon request, consistent with RFO Part 12.301(b). The provision described in paragraph (e) of this provision to Request for Quotations. The DO NOT APPLY Government will NOT provide any information other than what is required per RFO FAR 12.301(b).

National Guard Agency Protest Program

NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum.

Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency's Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures.

To be timely, the protests must be filed with the periods specified in RFO 33.103. To file a protest under the NG Agency Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:

52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

(Deviation 2026-O0038) (Tailored)

2026-02

Provision under 52.212-2 is replaced in its entirety as follows and tailored in accordance with 12.205(b):

(a) Evaluation: The Government will consider for award a firm-fixed-price (FFP) purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter who provides the lowest quote (PRICE ONLY) that demonstrates understanding of the requirements and conformance with the solicitation, conducted under RFO Part 12 procedures for commercial items in subpart 12.201-1.

(1) Quotes failing to meet all the terms and conditions of this solicitation, including buy terms, line-item descriptions, and attachments, will not be considered for award. The Government reserves the right to seek clarifications on the contents of the quote if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer. Failure to meet instructions per 52.212-1 (Tailored) may result in non-consideration for award. Missing information (CAGE, SAM UEID) required for identification of the quoter's System of Award registration may also result in non-consideration.

(2) Conforming quotations per paragraph (a)(1) of this provision will be evaluated in accordance with RFO 12.203(a) for total PRICE ONLY. Total price is evaluated inclusive of all transportation and associated charges to DESTINATION. The Government will review the quoted price to determine price reasonableness. Price reasonableness may be established by comparing the quoted prices received in response to the solicitation, comparing quotes to the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), or using other accepted techniques (see 12.203(c)(2)).

(b) Notice of Purchase Order Award: The purchase order is the Government's offer to a supplier to buy certain products or services upon specified terms and conditions. A binding contract is formed when the supplier accepts the Government's offer, either by written acceptance of the purchase order or substantial performance of the purchase order. The contracting officer may request that the contractor provide written acceptance of the order. See RFO 12.201-1(b). The anticipated date of award is . 25 November 2026

(c) Responsibility Determination: In accordance with RFO FAR policy, the Contracting Officer must determine that the apparent successful quoter is responsible before awarding a purchase order. Separate from the price evaluation described in paragraph (a)(2), if the lowest acceptable quote features a price that is abnormally low, the Contracting Officer may use that as an indicator of performance risk. In such cases, the Contracting Officer may require the quoter to provide additional information (such as a breakdown of labor rates, material costs, or a risk mitigation plan) specifically to make an affirmative determination of responsibility and ensure the quoter has the capacity and competence to perform the requirement at the quoted price. Failure to demonstrate the capacity to perform at the quoted price may result in a determination of non-responsibility.

Because this solicitation is set aside for Small Businesses (SB), any determination of non-responsibility for the apparent successful quoter will be referred to the cognizant Small Business Administration (SBA) office for a Certificate of Competency (COC) determination.
