Multiple awards may be made if determined to be in the best interest of the government. For evaluation purposes only, a fee of $500 per award will be applied - this fee is an administrative tool for evaluation purposes only and is not actually added into any quoted or contract costs.

Submission Requirements: Prospective vendors must submit the following information with their quote package. Failure to submit one or more of the required documents may render the submission unresponsive. a. For Best Value i. Technical - see FAR Provision 52.212-2 included in the attachment to this announcement ii. Price (complete under "Product Description" of this attachment) iii. Past Performance - see FAR Provision 52.212-2 included in the attachment to this announcement b. To be determined technically acceptable, offerors must: i.

Vendor may suggest an alternate CLIN structure for the award that is more advantageous to both the Contractor and Government. VII. Buy American Act (BAA) compliance - the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) governs federal contracting; however, it is not the only regulation that must be followed. All Department of Defense agencies must follow the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation, or DFARS. Additionally, each agency often has their own regulatory supplement such as the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation supplement, or AFARS. These regulations often have differing information - one example is concerning the BAA. As part of the Department of the Army, a DOD agency, the VaARNG adheres to the FAR, DFARS, and AFARS. For this procurement, we do NOT use the BAA clauses from the FAR - we use the DFARS clauses/provisions as directed in the DFARS, which differ significantly from the FAR. This solicitation includes the following DFARS provisions: 252.225-7001, 252.225-7002, and 252.225- 7048 (please refer to DFARS accessible at http://farsite.hill.af.mil/ ). Per the DFARS 225.101(a) For DOD, the following two-part test determines whether a manufactured end product is a domestic end product: a. The end product is manufactured in the United States; and b. The cost of its U.S. and qualifying country components exceeds 50% of the costs of all its components. This test is applied to end products only and not to individual components. Please note the DFARS states that a domestic product is defined as being an end product MANUFACTURED in the US, AND the costs of its US-made COMPONENTS exceeds 50% of the cost. This DOES NOT include screen printing, embellishments, packaging, etc. because these costs are not component costs. We can only consider foreign products if there are no product quotes received OR if the cost of domestic products is not reasonable based on DFARS cost reasonableness procedures. Please note that DFARS requires a 50% evaluation fee applied to foreign products. Example 1: Domestic Offer: $5 Foreign Offer; $2 Apply evaluation factor to foreign offer = $3; award on foreign offer based on cost reasonableness Example 2: Domestic Offer: $5 Foreign Offer: $3.50 Apply evaluation factor to foreign offer = $5.25; award on domestic offer. IX. In addition to a price quote and product specifications and images, offerors must complete and return FAR Provisions 52.212-3 ALT 1 and include taxpayers identification number (TIN), DUNS, and CAGE code. X. As the government intends to evaluate and award without discussion, the initial quote should contain the best terms. The government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the contracting officer determines it necessary. XI. All questions must be submitted in writing two days prior to solicitation close date. Questions should be sent via email to betsy.l.lawrie.mil@mail.mil or to Susan.e.swanson5.civ@mail.mil XII. Quotes are due by the date and time specific in this soliciation.
