(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.

(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--

Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

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:

(b) Basis for Award.

1. Any award made will be based on the most advantageous (FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Items) to the

Government, price and technical acceptability considered.

2. The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ if the offerors quote conforms to the RFQ, the offerors quote conforms to the attached statement of work, theo fferor is found responsible, and if the final price is determined fair and reasonable inaccordance with FAR subsection 13.106-3.

Evaluation Criteria. This evaluation will be conducted using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process, and the following evaluation criteria for this award will be based on the following factors:

Factor 1: Technical Performance Factor 2: Price

Evaluation Factors

Factor 1 – Technical Performance

The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring their quote fully outlines the capability to adhere to the delivery deadline, quantities required, and specifications listed in the Statement of Work (SOW). Technical performance shall be found to be either acceptable or unacceptable based on the answers to the following questions:

(1) Can the vendor provide the meals on the required dates,times, and location as outlined in part 4 of the SOW, referencing Appendix 1?

(2) Can the vendor provide the quanity of meals required in part 5 of the SOW?

(3) Can the vendor provide disposable cutlery, paper plates, cups, knives, forks, spoons, and serving utensils with each meal delivery in accordance with part 3 of the SOW?

(4) Is the vendor preparing the meals in a commercial style kitchen that meets IL Dept of Public Health requirements as required in part 3 of the SOW?

(5) Can the vendor provide IL Food Handler’s certifiate or equivilent and provide the address for the location the food will be prepared in as outlined in part 3 of the SOW

The government will determine the vendor to be Technically Acceptable only if all answers to the above questions (1-5) are "Yes."

Factor 2 – Price

The government will evaluate all technically acceptable offerors’ prices. In terms of “price reasonableness” the Government will focus on whether the price is too high to be considered fair and reasonable.
