Offerors shall also submit information that indicates the length and terms and conditions of standard warranties, per FAR 52.212-4. Quotes received after the closing date and time specified will be ineligible for award.

Incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-95. The provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items applies to this solicitation. The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items applies to this solicitation. The provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items applies to this solicitation.

In accordance with DFARS 252.211-7003, Item Identification and Valuation, if the unit prices proposed exceed $5,000 then UID tags will be required and payment will be via Invoice, Receipt, Acceptance and Property Transfer (iRAPT, formerly known as Wide Area Workflow (WAWF)).
This requirement will be awarded to the offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) quote. For those CLINs with multiple quantity ranges, the Government will multiply the unit price by the maximum quantity for each range to derive the extended price for each range. Next, the Government will add the extended prices for all ranges of the out year CLINs (0039, 0040 and 0041) and divide by the sum of the maximum quantity of all ranges of that CLIN to find the average unit price. The Government will multiply the average unit price by the maximum number of units of the highest range of the out year CLINs to arrive at a total evaluated price for the year.
In order to be determined technically acceptable: (1) the offeror must quote items which meet the requirements specified in Attachment #2, in the required quantities specified in Attachment #1; and (2) the Government will consider past performance information in accordance with DFARS Provision 252.213-7000 where negative information within PPIRS-SR may render a quote being deemed technically unacceptable.
