The quote must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation. B.

Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists offerors may be required to submit information other than cost or pricing data to support a determination of price reasonableness.

Basis for Contract Award This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) award decision conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS). These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FARSite, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government will select the quote with the lowest evaluated price from among those meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. A contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.1, as supplemented, whose quote conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation) and is judged to represent the lowest price technically acceptable quote. b. Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or subfactors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable. c. Technical Factor The Government's technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical submissions on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. An "Unacceptable" rating will render the entire quote unacceptable and, therefore, unawardable. Technically acceptable is defined as an overall rating of satisfactory or better on the past performance questionnaires on past or current contracts (including Federal, State, and local government and private) that have been performed within the last year for efforts similar to the Government requirement. Questionnaires must be submitted by the rater. Questionnaires will not be accepted when submitted by the offeror. Offerors who fail to provide this documentation will render their quote unacceptable.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: To be considered for this award, Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) database at http://wawf.eb.mil prior to award. Lack of registration will make an Offeror ineligible for award. This notice does not obligate the Government to award the contract; nor does it obligate the Government to pay for any quote preparation costs. Quotes must be for all items stated, partial quotes will not be considered. Only firm fixed price offers will be evaluated. Award will be made (all or none) to one vendor. MEDICAL STATEMENT: Health Care: The medical treatment facility will provide urgent healthcare to contract employees (a contract employee is not a Government employee but is a contractor or an employee of a contractor) for injuries occurring while on duty. Urgent healthcare is defined as medical care authorized to the extent necessary to save life or limb and prevent undue pain and suffering. The contract employee will be transferred to a civilian medical facility as soon as the contract employee is stabilized. The cost of such treatment will be paid for, in full, within a reasonable period of time, by the contract employee and will not be borne by the 87th Medical Group, the United States Air Force or the Government. An AF Form 1127, Hospital Invoice/Receipt/Accounts Receivable Record, will be prepared to ensure collection and/or billing of charges. If a contract employee cannot pay for the treatment at the time of discharge, a statement of charges and a letter of indebtedness will be completed and billed to the contract employee for medical services rendered. An Accounts Receivable Record will be established for each contract employee who receives medical care and is unable to pay at the time of discharge. Follow-up on Accounts Receivable will be completed in accordance with AFMAN 41-120, Medical Resource Management Operations. After an Accounts Receivable Record is established and billing for outpatient medical services has occurred, the SF 558, Medical Record - Emergency Care and Treatment, will be annotated with the date of billing and the voucher number. It will then be forwarded to Outpatient Records in order to be filed in a temporary folder. The contract employee shall ensure that he/she provides timely notice to his/her medical insurance company and that if the insurance company is to make payment, the insurance company has adequate information and documentation to make payment. A contract employee treated for injuries caused during a natural disaster is not charged for outpatient care.
