(ix) FAR 52.212-2 - EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: a. Factor 1: Technical Capability 1. Technical Acceptability will be evaluated based on an evaluation of the items quoted. The factor will be rated as Technically Acceptable or Unacceptable. 2. Technically Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. 3. Technically Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. 4. The offeror's quote will be considered technically acceptable if it meets the requirements detailed in Attachment 1 - Itemized Listing and Salient Characteristics. Quotations that do not meet these requirements will be considered unacceptable and will not be considered for award. b. Factor 2: Price 1. Price will be evaluated in order to determine if it is reasonable in accordance with FAR Parts 13.106-3 and 15.4. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. c. AWARD PROCESS: 1. The Government will first evaluate all quotations to ensure the quotation complies with all material aspects of the request for quotation thereby being determined as either "Responsive" or "Non-Responsive". 2. Responsive quotes will then be submitted for Technical Evaluation to determine those that are either "Technically Acceptable" or "Technically Unacceptable". 3. "Technically Acceptable" quotations will be then ranked according to price. 4. The lowest priced offeror who is technically acceptable will receive the award. 5. The award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offerors. 6. A written notice of award or acceptance of the offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

See Attachment 3 for full text. (xiii) ADDITIONAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS AND/OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. See Attachment 3 for applicable provisions and clauses. 2. FAR 13.004 - LEGAL AFFECT OF QUOTATIONS (a) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. b) When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing, as defined at 2.101. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred. (c) If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer. (See 13.302-4 for procedures on termination or cancellation of purchase orders.) (xiv) The Defense Priorities and Allocation Systems (DPAS) does not apply to this request for quote. (xv) Attachment 2 - Contractor Submittal Form, must be completed and submitted with the offeror's quote. (xvi) Quotes are due via e-mail no later than 11:00 AM MST, Monday, 3 April 2017. If you have any questions, please submit them in writing via email no later than 2:00 PM MST, Monday, 27 March 2017. All quotes and questions (if applicable) shall be submitted to 21cons.lgcbb@us.af.mil. (xvi) All communications with the requiring activity concerning this solicitation shall cease until the award is announced.
