Required clauses/provisions that are not submitted may render a quote not to be accepted by the Government. The following provisions and clauses are applicable: FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation of Commercial Items; (a) The Government intends to make a single award to the responsible Offeror whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government considering price and price related factors. The Government intends to award the contract to the eligible, low-priced, responsible offeror. Award will be made upon price reasonableness determination, contractor determination of responsibility within the meaning of FAR Part 9, and acceptance to the provisions set forth herein. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) Technical Capability (ii) Past Performance (iii) Price The Government intends to make award on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for Factor (i) and Factor (ii), the non-price factors. (The Government will not, however, provide additional credit for those proposals that may exceed the standards. The technical capability to provide rental equipment meeting the specifications as defined in the Statement of Work (Factor i) and Past Performance (Factor ii) are equal to price (Factor iii). Offerors proposals will be evaluated under Factor (i) above, which represents minimum acceptable criteria. Under this factor, the Government will rate the quote as either acceptable or unacceptable. Failure to meet the minimum criteria for this factor will render the entire quote unacceptable and ineligible for award. See paragraph (b) below. Only those Offers which meet the minimum requirements required by Factor (i) will be further evaluated under Factor (ii), Past Performance. Failure to meet the minimum criteria for this factor will render the entire quote unacceptable and the quote may not be considered for award. See paragraph (c) below. For those proposals that are rated acceptable on Factor (i) and Factor (ii), the Government will then evaluate Factor (iii), Price. Award will be made on the lowest evaluated price. See paragraph (d) below. (b) Technical Capability to meet specifications as defined in the Statement of Work, Factor (i), will be assessed by evaluating the contractor’s plan to provide the equipment outlined in the Statement of Work and timeline to meet the delivery schedules. Please submit no more than a 5 page Word document utilizing a font size of 11. This document shall address how the contractor will meet the requirements of this solicitation. The Government will rate the responses as follows: Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. (c) Offerors PAST PERFORMANCE, Factor (ii), information will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for two prior same and/or similar contracts performed within the past three years. PAST PERFORMANCE information shall be provided on the attached document labeled ‘Past Performance Worksheet’. Information utilized will be obtained from these references as well as any other sources that may have relevant information. Offers that lack relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for this factor. Any Offerors proposal which has no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposals of other offerors. If the offeror has no relevant past performance, the offeror shall submit a statement that it has no relevant related or similar past performance expereience. The Contracting Officer will evaluate Offerors PAST PERFORMANCE as follows: NEUTRAL No relevant past performance available for evaluation. Offeror has asserted that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance experience. Quote receives no merit or demerit for this factor. SATISFACTORY Very little risk anticipated with delivery of quality products, on time, or of degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the offerors past performance. UNSATISFACTORY Significant potential risk anticipated with delivery of quality products, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the offerors past performance. (d) Price. All vendors shall provide pricing for the CLINs identified and a total overall price. (e) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished 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. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offeror’s best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. FAR 52.204-7 -- System for Award Management.
