Delivery and Acceptance FOB Point: DESTINATION

Submission Instructions

Deadline: 30 June 2026 at 1:00 PM Local Time (Puerto Rico) Submission Method: Quotes shall be submitted electronically to ng.prarng.purchasing-and-contracting.mbx@army.mil. Include the solicitation number in the subject line.

Questions: Submit questions to the same email address no later than 16 June 2026. Questions must relate to clarification of requirements, terms, and conditions only. The contracting office will not address questions explicitly stated in this solicitation and its attachments.

Basis of Award:

(a) Evaluation: The Government will award a firm-fixed-price (FFP) purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter who provides the lowest acceptable quote that demonstrates understanding of the requirements and conformance with the solicitation. This acquisition is being conducted strictly under RFO Part 12 simplified procedures for commercial products and commercial services. The Government is not conducting a source selection, and procedures from RFO Part 15 do not apply. To efficiently identify the lowest acceptable quote, the Government may evaluate quotes by first ranking them from lowest to highest price. The Government will then evaluate the technical and past performance factors of the lowest-priced quote. If the lowest-priced quote is determined to be acceptable, the Government may evaluate no other quotes and proceed to award.

(1) Quotes failing to meet all the terms and conditions of this solicitation, including buy terms, line-item descriptions, and attachments, will not be evaluated for award. The Government reserves the right to seek clarifications on the contents of the quote if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

(2) Quotes will be evaluated in accordance with RFO 12.203(a) review criteria for:

(i) Technical: The degree to which the quoter's proposed service meets the Government's requirements. Merely stating 'will comply with all PWS requirements' is insufficient.

(ii) Past Performance: The Government will consider primary Government sources for past performance such as Supplier Performance Risk System, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and other sources. Absent past performance with Government, the Government will consider experience from the commercial market and/or experience as a subcontractor. Past performance shall be relevant to the type of work in the Performance Work Statement. The purpose of past performance is to assess performance risk and capacity to perform. W912LR26QA018 Page 48 of 54

(iii) Price. Price will be evaluated to identify the lowest acceptable quote. The Government will evaluate the quoted price to determine price reasonableness. Price reasonableness will be established by comparing the quoted prices received in response to the solicitation, comparing quotes to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), or using other accepted techniques.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of Purchase Order Award: The purchase order is the Government's offer to a supplier to buy certain products or services upon specified terms and conditions. A binding contract is formed when the supplier accepts the Government's offer, either by written acceptance of the purchase order or substantial performance of the purchase order. The contracting officer may request that the contractor provide written acceptance of the order. See RFO 12.201-1(b).

(d) Responsibility Determination: In accordance with RFO FAR policy, the Contracting Officer must determine that the apparent successful quoter is responsible before awarding a purchase order. Separate from the price evaluation described in paragraph (a)(2)(iii), if the lowest acceptable quote features a price that is abnormally low, the Contracting Officer may use that as an indicator of performance risk. In such cases, the Contracting Officer may require the quoter to provide additional information (such as a breakdown of labor rates, material costs, or a risk mitigation plan) specifically to make an affirmative determination of responsibility and ensure the quoter has the capacity and competence to perform the requirement at the quoted price. Failure to demonstrate the capacity to perform at the quoted price may result in a determination of non-responsibility. Because this solicitation is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), any determination of non-responsibility for the apparent successful quoter will be referred to the cognizant Small Business Administration (SBA) office for a Certificate of Competency (COC) determination.

Note: This solicitation will be evaluated using Simplified Procedures consistent with RFO FAR 12.201-1 and 12.203 for evaluating Quotations. Quoters are reminded that, consistent with RFO FAR 12.201-1(b), Legal Effects of Quotations, a quote is not an offer. All submissions will be treated as QUOTATIONS, regardless of how Quoters decide to label or name their submissions. Quoters are to review SF 1449 52.212-1, 52.212-1 addendums, and 52.212-2 for additional information. In the event of a discrepancy between this combined solicitation and the SF 1449, the SF 1449 shall govern.

Anticipated Date of Award: 8 July 2026
