Evaluation Criteria: Procedures in FAR 13.106 are applicable to this procurement. Award decision will be based on a combination of price and a determination of responsibility

Price: Quoters shall submit a price for each item listed in this Notice. In determining whether a price is fair and reasonable, the government may use historical data, independent Government estimates in its price analysis, or any other technique permissible by FAR 13.106-3 and FAR 15.404-1(b).

Responsibility Determination: To be eligible for award of a purchase order hereunder, the Quoter must be determined by the Contracting Officer to be a responsible prospective Quoter in accordance with FAR 9.1.

The Government may utilize a combination of various Government database repositories used to determine that a contractor is responsible. Such sources include but are not limited to the following: System for Award Management (SAM), Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and or the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).

Issuance of a purchase order. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order based upon initial quotations received.

Therefore, the Quoter’s initial quotation should contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or negotiate final purchase order terms with Quoters if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. However, the Contracting Officer will not establish a competitive range, conduct discussions, or otherwise utilize the formal source selection procedures described at FAR Part 15. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; issue a purchase order to other than the Quoter with the lowest price; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received.

It is the Quoter’s responsibility to ensure that there are no discrepancies presented within the information contained in its quote. Potential quoters are hereby notified that in the event there are discrepancies within information in a quote received by the Government, or in comparison to Government information provided in the solicitation, the Government reserves the right to apply its judgment to resolve such discrepancies during the evaluation of the quotes without conducting discussions.

System for Award Management (SAM). Quoters must be registered in the SAM database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at http://www.sam.gov/.
