Vendors MUST be registered and Active in the System for Award Management (SAM) system (www.SAM.gov) at the time of quotation submission, pursuant to FAR 52.204-7. ATF will award to the responsible firm whose quote conforms to the RFQ and will be the most advantageous to the Government after an evaluation of technical capability, past performance and price. Technical capability will be determined by reviewing the vendors quote in relation to the requirements in the Statement of Work. Evaluators will determine if the quote response demonstrates an understanding of the Statement of Work as well as the quoted approach to meet these requirements. The quote should describe steps required and how the contractor will ensure that applicable deliverables/deadlines will be met. A quote repeating the information/material in the Statement of Work (SOW) and the Request for Quote does not constitute a satisfactory response and may be deemed technically unacceptable. Past performance will be evaluated by the contractor providing a list of no more than five (5) of your most recent and relevant contracts. Only recent and relevant contracts will be evaluated or considered. Recent means contracts performed or completed within three years from the quotation due date. Relevant means similar in scope and complexity to the solicited work. The Government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on vendors based on the contracts provided by the vendor. The Government may seek, and consider in the evaluation, data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources, including databases such as CPARS. Contracts performed for the Department of Justice or other Federal Agencies, depending on relevancy, may be considered more significant in the evaluation. The government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.
