OTHER INFORMATION:

Interchanges. The government intends to award a purchase order without interchanges with respective vendors/quoters. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges if deemed in its best interest. Under appropriate circumstances, interchanges can be an effective method to improve the Government's evaluation of Offerors' quoted approaches and may reduce acquisition cycle time. Interchanges may be written, email, phone call, etc., or any method which would accurately capture the contemporaneous sharing of information between the Government and the Offerors. Interchanges may also be oral conversations between the Government and the Offerors.
INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS:
- After receipt of quotes the Government may, with or without notice, negotiate with and, if desired, seek quote revisions from as many or as few quoters as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate.
- The term “offeror” or “offer” shall be understood to mean “quoter” and “quote,” respectively. Further, the term “award” shall be understood to describe the Government’s issuance of an order.
- The Government will consider all quotes that are timely received and may consider late quotes. Failure of a quote to address any items required in the submission package may make a quote unacceptable, therefore, unawardable.
- Quote shall not exceed five (5) pages. Any pages exceeding 5 pages will not be evaluated.
- Quote shall include CAGE, Unique Entity Identifier, Point of Contact, Socioeconomic Categories and Email
Quoters shall provide the following, as part of the quote submission package, no later than the required time and date for quote submission:
- Completed Copy of Attachment 2 – Offeror Response Form
- Completed Copy of Attachment 3 - Pricing and Schedule
- Firm Fixed Pricing to include Unit Price and Extended Price. Price must include ALL materials, labor, tools, equipment, shipping, ALL direct/ indirect costs to complete the requirement

EVALUATION:
Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) quote. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers:
1. Technical Capability: items meet the Government requirement/specifications listed in the description. If all requested information is not provided or does not meet the requirements identified, the Government will determine the quote to be nonresponsive.
2. Price:
- The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability first. The Government will evaluate quotes for acceptability but will not rank the quotes by non-price factors. If the Government receives fewer than three (3) quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is in the Government’s best interest to do so.
- Price will be evaluated to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Some of those techniques are, but not limited to, comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of quoted prices with the Independent Government Estimate. Prices must be determined fair and reasonable.
- No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition. In the event adequate price competition does not exist, the contracting officer will obtain information from the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices.
