Registration can take some time to process. Contractors must provide a current, valid CAGE code to the VT-PFO-PC no later than 9:00 a.m. E.S.T. 22 September 2020. If the otherwise successful vendor does not have a valid CAGE code at that time, the government may award to another vendor.

The government will award a Firm Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation to a responsible vendor whose quote conforms to this solicitation and is considered most advantageous to the Government. Which quote is most advantageous to the Government will be determined based on the following evaluation factors:  price and past performance. The past performance factor will be evaluated based on a minimum of three performance references provided by the contractor, which will be PIIS checked by the VT-PFO-PC, as well as available CPARS/FAPIIS reports. References must be for provision of similar services and within the last three years.

All quotes will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the PWS.  Quotes also will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable.  Conditional offers or offers that are subject to additional terms and conditions not included in the Request for Quotes are not acceptable and will be deemed non-responsive. Offerors must disclose if they intend to subcontract all or part the work and if so the identity/identities of the subcontractor(s).

All responsible sources may submit an offer which, if received in a timely manner, will be considered. Only such information as needed to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the proposal should be considered.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions. Therefore the offeror’s initial quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to seek clarification or 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.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

This acquisition is subject to the clauses and provisions set forth in the attached FAR & DFARS Provisions and Clauses document. The clauses and provisions can be viewed at the Acquisition.gov Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) site at https://www.acquisition.gov/browse/index/far.
