52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2017)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. 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;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered 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;

https://www.acquisition.gov/

(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

(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.

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SYSTEMS FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM) AND WIDE

AREA WORKFLOW (WAWF)

SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM)

Background

The System for Award Management (SAM) is a computer system accessed by the Internet managed by the U.S.

Government. Entities must have an active registration in SAM to do business with the U.S. Government. An

“entity” is the company, business, or organization registering in SAM. Each entity is represented by a nine-digit unique entity identifier, the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number as issued by Dun & Bradstreet.

Only individuals who are authorized to represent a particular entity, or individuals representing themselves as an entity, may register an entity in SAM. Accessing or using SAM, or information contained therein, for any unauthorized or illegal purposes, may have civil and criminal penalties, and may negatively impact the status of the

SAM registration maintained for the entity.

In order to register, contractors must have a valid Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and a

Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) code.

A DUNS number, a nine-digit number assigned by DUN and Bradstreet to an establishment, is the Contractor

Identification Number for Federal contractors.

Vendors can obtain the DUNS number from: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform

A CAGE Code is a five (5) position unique identifier for entities doing or wishing to do business with the Federal

Government. The format and character position of the code vary based on country.

All other foreign vendors can obtain their CAGE codes by reviewing the web site https://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm

FURTHERMORE: CAGE codes may also be requested online at:

https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx

US vendors can obtain the CAGE code from: http://www.dlis.dla.mil/cage_welcome.asp

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

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Price

2. Technical

3. Past Performance

Using these equally-weighted evaluation factors, the Government will award a contract from this solicitation to the responsible offeror, whose quote conforms to the Request for Quotations (RFQ) and is the lowest price, receiving an acceptable rating for the non-price factors. This basis of award is known as the lowest-price, technically acceptable

(LPTA) source selection process.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base period. To account for the possibility that the Government may utilize the “Option to Extend

Services” provision at FAR 52.217-8 (for a period not to exceed six months), the Government will use the offered prices for all CLINs of the final option period, prorate them to determine a six-month value, then, add the prorated amount to the sum of all CLINs (base period plus all option periods). The resulting amount will be the total evaluated price. The Government may determine than an offer is unacceptable if the option prices appear to be significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.
