The quoter will provide a quote for the exact brand name as described in CLIN 0001 or will provide a quote for an item with the same salient characteristics.

a. The Government intends to award a Purchase Order without discussions with Quoters (except for clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the initial quote should contain the

Quoters best terms from a price standpoint. Quoters should not assume that they will be afforded the opportunity to clarify, discuss, or revise their quote. However, the Government reserves the right to request clarifications or enter discussions if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all responses if not in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

b. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation and make no award. By responding to this request for quote and submitting a quote per FAR 13, the Contractor understands that the Government shall not be liable for any costs incurred by the Quoter in response to this request for quote.

2. QUOTE SUBMISSION. All Quotes shall be in the form prescribed by this solicitation and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified below in paragraph 4. All responses shall be in English, legible and prepared in the following general format to be properly evaluated.

52.212-2 EVAL.- COMMERCIAL ITM

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS

Basis of Award. This acquisition will utilize Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures and make an award IAW FAR 13.106. A decision on the technical acceptability of each quoter’s quotation will be made. For those quoter’s which are determined to be technically acceptable, award will be made to that vendor with the lowest

Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Trade-offs between price and non-price factors is not permitted.

Evaluation Process. The Government’s evaluation process consists of two factors: 1) Technical compatibility with the brand name or equal item listed at CLIN 0001, and 2) Price. Technical quotes will be evaluated on an

Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. A quoter must be considered acceptable under all non-price Factors to be deemed

Technically Acceptable. Therefore, a quote rated unacceptable for any non-price Factor will not be considered for award. Quoted prices will be evaluated for reasonableness using price analysis techniques in accordance with FAR

13.106-3(a).

Evaluation Criteria. The quotes will be evaluated based on the following factors:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability

Factor 2 – Price

Factor 1 – Technical Capability – The Government will evaluate the quoter’s technical quote to assess the quoter’s understanding of the technical requirements to provide an item with the same salient characteristics as the brand name or equal item listed in CLIN 0001. To be acceptable, the standard is met when the quoter demonstrates at a minimum the following:

The item proposed is the exact NSN 3655-01-556-1083

OR

Meets the following salient characteristics:

- Purity/Quality: 99.99% Nitrogen, dry (oil free) (Type 1 (Gaseous), Grade B(99.99%), Class 1 (oil free), MIL-PRF-27401)

- PSI requirement: minimum 5 PSI

- Mobility requirement: none (nitrogen bottle utilized for purge process)

- Additional Requirement(s): If nitrogen generation system is facility based, please include installation.

- All accessories for system to enable nitrogen canister refill must be provided.

The Technical Factor will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below in Table 1.

Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 2 – Price. Adequate price competition is anticipated, therefore only price information is requested at this time, however, the Government reserves the right to request cost and pricing data in the event price reasonableness cannot be determined based on adequate price competition. The quoted price will be evaluated for price reasonableness.

Price reasonableness will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 utilizing the price analysis techniques in

FAR 13.106-3(a) that are deemed appropriate based on the quoter’s price.

INSTALLATION ACCESS

5152.225-5916

MANDATORY ELIGIBILITY FOR INSTALLATION ACCESS

(OCT 2015)

(a) U.S. and Coalition Commanders possess inherent authority to maintain law and order, provide security, and impose discipline necessary to protect the inhabitants of U.S. and/or Coalition installations, U.S. and Coalition personnel operating outside of installations, and U.S. or Coalition-funded developmental projects in Afghanistan.

This authority allows commanders to administratively and physically control access to installations and/or project sites, and to bar contractors – including prime contractors, subcontractors at any tier, and any employees, from an installation or site. A commander’s inherent force protection (FP) authority is independent of an agency’s contracting authority, and it may not be superseded by any contractual term or provision.

(b) The prime Contractor/Vendor acknowledges that: submission of a bid, offer, or a proposal; acceptance of contract award of any type; or continuing effort under any contract that includes this clause; requires that the prime

Contractor/Vendor, and all subcontractors under any affected contracts be initially eligible -- and remain eligible during the entire period of contract performance to include any warranty period -- for installation access to a U.S.

and/or Coalition installation, regardless of whether the performance will take place on or off a U.S. or Coalition installation.

(c) To be eligible for installation access, Contractors and subcontractors at all tiers are required to register for installation access in the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS) and are responsible for keeping the information in this system updated at all times. Prime Contractors and subcontractors at any tier may verify their registration at https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe/ by selecting the “Vendors Login” module and logging in with their user name and password. The offeror must be registered, approved, and eligible for installation access prior to award, and remain eligible for installation access for the life of the contract.

(1) The offeror is required to submit a listing of all proposed subcontractors, at all tiers, to the contracting officer with the submission of the proposal, and provide updates during the life of the contract when subcontractors are added or removed. If no subcontractors are expected to perform during the life of the contract, the offeror must submit a negative response to the Contracting Officer with its proposal. After award, the prime contractor must submit a negative response to the contracting officer at the beginning of each performance period.

(2) Failure to be approved in JCCS -- and thereby be eligible for installation access at the prime and subcontractor levels -- or failure to inform the contracting officer of the names of all prospective subcontractors (or provide a negative reply), may render the offeror/contractor ineligible for award or continued performance.

Additionally, any firm that is declared ineligible for installation access will be deemed non-responsible until such time as that firm is again deemed eligible by the appropriate access approval authority.

(d) Installation access determinations arise from the Combatant Commander’s inherent authority and are separate and distinct from any law, regulation, or policy regarding suspension and debarment authority. Contractor queries or requests for reconsideration related to U.S. or Coalition installation base access eligibility must be directed to the authority responsible for base access decisions.
