(2) FAR 52.212-1, paragraph (c), is changed to read: (c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers. (3) To be considered for this requirement, the offeror must provide complete pricing on each CLIN as required. The contractor shall fill out a unit price, the extended price and a total price for all CLINs. Please ensure that all prices, extended prices and total prices are checked and verified for accuracy. DO NOT go two (2) digits beyond the decimal point. (4) In accordance with FAR Part 9, Contractor Qualification information will be used to determine whether an offeror has a satisfactory performance record to determine whether the offeror is a responsible contractor eligible for contract award. An offeror determined to have an unsatisfactory performance record will be determined non-responsible, therefore, the offeror will not be eligible for contract award. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government has a right to retrieve additional past performance information through the Government's past performance databases, Federal Awardee Performance Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, (Nov 2021) Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal will be the most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) Price (ii) Technical Factor 1 - Price. The Government shall conduct a price evaluation of all offers. The Government will evaluate an offer by adding the total price for all CLINs. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair, reasonable and realistic price. Evaluation of prices will determine if they are compatible with the scope of the effort, are not unbalanced and are neither excessive nor insufficient for the effort to be accomplished. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness; however, the Government reserves the right, if it deems appropriate, to make these determinations by means of one or more price analysis techniques. Factor 2 - Technical. Quotations will be evaluated for technical acceptability. To be considered technically acceptable an offeror shall: Provide evidence that they can complete all work outlined in the SOW, provide evidence that they can meet all timelines outlined in the SOW, and provide evidence that they have qualified employees with the ability to provide all instruction as required in the SOW. Additionally, you must submit active Federal Aviation Administration Air Worthiness Certificate showing approval of airframe for the maneuvers required to meet this training. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Offer clearly meets the requirements of the Solicitation and the Requirements Description. Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the requirements of the Solicitation and the Requirements Description. a. Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.1, whose offer conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this RFQ) and is judged, based on the evaluation to represent the best value offer. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award 1 (one) contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. After receipt of proposals, the 3 (three) lowest priced will be evaluated against the evaluation factors until either 3 (three) proposals are determined acceptable or all proposals have been evaluated. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. b. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, e-mailed to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
