INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRACTORS

This procurement action is being processed in accordance with FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the test program for commercial items found at FAR 13.5

Quotations shall be emailed to Glenda Jordan; e-mail: glenda.s.jordan3.civ@us.navy.mil and Jeremy Weible Jeremy.r.weible.civ@us.navy.mil

This announcement will close on September 23, 2024 at 9AM Eastern Standard Time.

Quotations will consist of the following documents submitted together:

1.  Completed representations and certifications unless otherwise available in SAM;

2.  Technical acceptability:  Self-certification by way of completing the Technical Capabilities/Contractor responsibility Statement (Attachment A)—verifying contractor is providing unit per specifications IAW the Statement of Work; Technical Capabilities/Contractor responsibility Statement can be found at the bottom of EACH TECHNICAL CAPABILITY SECTION — FAILURE TO PROVIDE WILL RENDER QUOTE INELIGABLE FOR AWARD;

3.  Price for each line item being quoted with best delivery in accordance with the Schedule.

FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation — Commercial Items is applicable to this procurement. The Government will award a contract resulting from this Request for Quotation (RFQ) to the responsible quoter whose quotation conforms to the RFQ and will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

1.  Price;

2.  Technical capability;

3.  Delivery

Technical acceptability will be determined by reviewing the technical certifications submitted for each item to ensure that all of the technical requirements identified are met.  Technical acceptability will be defined as follows:

Technical Evaluation Ratings

Rating

Description

Acceptable

Quote meets all of the requirements identified.

Unacceptable

Quote does not meet all of the requirements identified.

Contractors who fail to possess acceptable technical capability will not be considered for award and the other elements of their quotation will not be evaluated.

Price:  The vendor’s proposed price will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness.  All prices must be considered fair and reasonable as determined by the Government.

For purposes of award amongst all of the technically acceptable quotations, delivery schedule will be considered to be of equal importance when compared to price.

NOTE:   Quotations determined to be technically unacceptable shall not be further evaluated for award.  Of the technically acceptable quotations, the Government reserves the right to award to other than low based upon a selection determined to be the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Although price is considered to be equal in importance to delivery, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process.  The importance of price will increase as the degree of equity in a respondent’s non-cost quotations rise.  The importance of price will also increase when a quotation’s price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might have been gained under the other aspects of the quotation.  If at any point in the evaluation all respondents are determined to have submitted equal or generally equivalent non-cost quotations, price may become the factor in determining the contractor selected for award.
