Section B - Schedule of Services: Service on all equipment items listed within Attachment 2 Pricing Template per Attachment 1 SOW dated 18 Apr 2023.. This requirement is for a base plus four option year firm-fixed priced contract awarded using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR parts 12 and 13. Period of Performance: Base year plus four option years. All preventive maintenance actions on all listed equipment must occur within 90 days from date of award and subsequent option years. The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers. INSTRUCTIONS FOR OFFERORS: Use Attachment 2 Pricing Template to submit quotes. BASIS FOR AWARD: In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2) offerors are notified that the award will be made to the lowest priced offeror that meets the minimum technical requirements. Offeror will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b). The Government will award a single Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to the technically acceptable Offer who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.104 and whose quote conforms to all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, required by this RFQ. Unless identified otherwise, by submission of a quote, the Offeror has agreed to all requirements included herein. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a quote being determined ineligible for award. Evaluation Process for determining lowest price. Per 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Offers will be ranked from lowest price to highest price. Technical Evaluation. The lowest priced quote received will be evaluated for technical acceptance. To confirm the capability, and therefore, acceptability, of the Offeror to meet the Government's requirements as outlined in Attachment 1 (SOW), the Offeror shall submit with their quote, a clear, and concise Technical Capability Narrative that includes sufficient detail to substantiate the validity of the Offeror's stated claim(s) that they are able to meet the requirement. The narrative shall not simply rephrase, reiterate, or restate the Government's own language, but rather shall provide convincing rationale describing how the Offeror intends to fulfill the requirement. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. The narrative should include as specifically as possible, the actual methodology that will be used for accomplishing and satisfying the SOW's stated requirement(s). The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities, and experience, thus the technical evaluation will be solely based on the information presented in the Offeror's Technical Capability Narrative. The Offeror's Technical Capability Narrative must, at a minimum, address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements of the SOW. If the lowest quote is accepted by the government, no further quotes will be evaluated. If the lowest quote received is not technically accepted by the government, the next lowest priced quote received will be technically evaluated and so on until the lowest price received and accepted by the government is confirmed. An award notice will be posted to sam.gov. Technical Evaluation Ratings: Upon evaluation of the Technical Capability Narrative, the following rating will be assigned: Acceptable: The Offeror has provided sufficient information within their Technical Capability Narrative for the Government to evaluate and confirm their capability to meet all the requirements of the SOW. Unacceptable: The Offeror has not provided sufficient information within their Technical Capability Narrative; therefore, the Government cannot confirm their capability to meet the requirements of the SOW. If the technical submittal is determined "Unacceptable", it renders the entire quote technically unacceptable. Technical submissions that do not meet the minimum requirements will be rated as "Unacceptable" and will no longer be considered for further competition or award. A price analysis may be conducted to determine if the lowest price technically acceptable offer is fair and reasonable. A single award will then be made to the Offeror who has been determined responsible and has submitted the lowest, technically acceptable pricing.
