The Government anticipates a Single Source award to DBN Holding utilizing FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures. There are four attachments to this SAQR: Attachment 1- Information Sheet, Attachment 2- Provisions and Clauses, Attachment 3- Requirements Document, and Attachment 4- Redacted Single Source Justification. A response to this request shall consist of completion of Attachment 1 and applicable specifications or a submitted quote in contractor format as long as it is, at a minimum, depicts unit and extended prices (rounded to the nearest dollar), applicable specifications and delivery periods, and Attachment 2 Provisions and Clauses, specifically provision FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items. By submission of this quotes, the contractor accedes to all SAQR requirements including: terms, conditions, and representations. Award will be made IAW FAR 12 and 13 procedures and the procedures specified in this SAQR. A contract may be awarded to a contractor who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.1, as supplemented, and whose quote conforms to the SAQR's requirements and is judged to represent a technically acceptable quote with a complete and reasonable price. First, the Government will evaluate the quote for technical acceptability as follows: Basis of Award: Technically Acceptable - Quote meets all the requirements of the SAQR. Technically Unacceptable - Quote does not meet all of the requirements of the SAQR. Next, if the quote is determined technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the contractor's price for price completeness and reasonableness. If the quote is technically acceptable and the price is complete and reasonable, then the quote represents the best value to the Government and award will be made. If the quote is not technically acceptable, the Government will consider the correction potential and may enter into interchanges with the contractor. Interchanges will take place as necessary or deemed appropriate by the Government. Applicable definitions are outlined below: Completeness - The quote will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The review will determine the adequacy of the contractor's quote in addressing and fulfilling the SAQR requirements. Reasonableness - For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a). The Government intends to make award based on the initial proposal submissions without conducting interchanges. Therefore, offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to hold interchanges if,during the evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Interchanges are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the contractors that may address any aspect of the proposal and may or may not be documented in real time. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges using Interchange Notices (IN). Offeror responses to INs will be considered in making the award selection decision. Interchanges may be conducted with one, some or all offerors as the Government is not required to conduct interchanges with any or all contractors responding to this SAQR. This acquisition follows the ordering procedures outlined in FAR 13, as supplemented. This SAQR is not authorization to begin performance, and in no way obligates the Government for any costs incurred by the offeror associated with developing a proposal. The Government reserves the right not to award a contract in response to this SAQR. Prior to commencement of any activities associated with performance of this requirement, the Government will issue a written directive or contractual document signed by the Contracting Officer with appropriate consideration established.
