Vendors MUST be registered and Active in the System for Award Management (SAM) system (www.SAM.gov) at the time of quotation submission, pursuant to FAR 52.204-7.

ATF will award to the responsible firm whose quote conforms to the RFQ and will be the most advantageous to the Government after an evaluation of technical capability and price. ATF may review the past performance of the vendor to help determine its technical capability.

Technical capability will be determined by reviewing the vendors quote in relation to the requirements in the Statement of Work. Evaluators will determine if the quote response demonstrates an understanding of the Statement of Work as well as the quoted approach to meet these requirements. The quote should describe steps required and how the contractor will ensure that applicable services such as training, software and calibration services will be met. A quote repeating the information/material in the Statement of Work (SOW) and the Request for Quote does not constitute a satisfactory response and may be deemed technically unacceptable.

In accordance with FAR 52.211-6 "Brand Name or Equal" ATF is allowing quotes for alternate items, provided those items meet all the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics specified by this solicitation. To be considered for award, quotes of "equal" products, including "equal" products of the brand name manufacturer, must follow the procedures found in FAR 52.211-6. If required information is not provided, the quote may be determined to be not technically capable.

The quoter shall provide a firm fixed price for this requirement. The base year of this requirement will include all required items in the Statement of Work. Four one-year options shall be included for calibration services. The total evaluated price will include the base period and all options. Evaluation of options will not obligate the government to exercise the options. If the quoter does not include option year pricing, they may be deemed unawardable.
