Since award will be based on initial responses, offerors are highly encouraged to quote their most advantageous pricing in their initial response. The following provisions are applicable to this solicitation. Please note, this is an RFQ using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR 13. For the clauses and provisions listed in this solicitation, the terms “offeror” and “bidder” are considered to mean “vendor”; and the terms “offer” and “proposal” are considered to mean “quote.” LATE QUOTES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED UNLESS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE GOVERNMENT AS DETERMINED BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER. If you are unable to submit a proposal, please indicate the types of goods and services you provide on this form along with contact information and your company will be kept in mind for future business opportunities. This document is not legally binding and does not commit the US Government in anyway. Evaluation of Offerors (a) The offeror found to be the best value to the Government in terms of superior past performance and price will be awarded a contract. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror where the Government reasonably determines the superior past performance of a higher priced offeror outweighs the price difference. However, the Government will not pay a price premium it considers to be disproportionate to the higher-rated past performance. i. Price: The proposed pricing for each category will be weighed against the percentage each service is expected to be used. Resulting in a total evaluated price which will be used in comparison to other companies evaluated pricing, the below table shows how this evaluated price will be calculated. Item % Of Use Proposed Price Evaluated Price EXAMPLE 25% $50 $12.50 Total Evaluated Price $12.50 The below table shows the exact table and figures that will be used to establish a total evaluated price. Please utilize attachment two, “Pricing” to submit your pricing information. Item % Of Use Proposed Price Evaluated Price 30 Minute Massage 37.5 60 Minute Massage 50 90 Minute Massage 6.25 30 Minute Reflexology 6.25 Total Evaluated Price ii. Past Performance: The contractor shall submit at least one source for past performance within the same scope of work and within the last five years, no more than three sources shall be submitted. These reviews must be a third party and able to be verified by the reviewing officials, acceptable sources include (but are not limited to): Yelp, Google, Better Business Bureau, Yellowpages, etc. The government will take into account all reviews from verified sources submitted, then average the performance ratings (ie. Stars). Using a combination of the average stars and the stated content of the three highest rated reviews (if multiple three will randomly be selected) and the three lowest rated reviews (if multiple three will randomly be selected), the government will assign a confidence level based on the below criteria. Adjectival Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance. Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. (c) 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. The following FAR/DFARS provisions and clauses are applicable to this solicitation and may be accessed from https://www.acquisition.gov/. A. Offerors must comply with all instructions contained in FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial Items. B. By offer submission in response to this RFQ the offeror agrees to comply with all terms and conditions IAW FAR 52.212-4 – Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items. 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options. Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services. The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor.

For breach of any of these certifications, the NAFI may terminate this contract for default, and/or deduct from amounts due under this or other contracts, or charge the Contractor for the total value of any contingent fee, gratuity, kickback or other loss to the NAFI arising out of the breach. 10. ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS The Contractor cannot assign any right or delegate any obligations under this contract without the prior written permission of the Contracting Officer. 11. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE The Contracting Officer, by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the best interest of the NAFI. If this contract is for supplies and is so terminated, the Contractor shall be compensated in accordance with FAR, Sub Parts 49.1 and 49.2 in effect on this contract's date. To the extent that this contract is for services and is so terminated, the NAFI shall be liable only for payment in accordance with the payment clauses of this contract for services rendered prior to the effective date of termination, providing there are no Contractor claims covering nonrecurring costs for capital investment. If there are any such Contractor claims, they shall be settled in accordance with FAR, Sub Parts 49.1 and 49.2. 12. CANCELLATION BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT Should the situation warrant, the parties upon mutual agreement and no costs, may cancel this contract without further recourse to the other and mutual release of any further obligations. 13. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE The NAFI may, subject to paragraphs c. and d. below, by written notice of cause to the Contractor, terminate this contract in whole or in part if the Contractor fails to- Deliver the supplies or perform the service within the time specified within this contract or any extension; Make progress, so as to endanger performance of this contract (however, see paragraph b. below); or Perform any of the other clauses of this contract (however see paragraph b. below). The NAFI's right to terminate this contract under paragraph a.2., and a.3. above, may be exercised if the Contractor does not cure such failure within 10 days (or more if authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer specifying the failure. If the NAFI terminates this contract in whole or in part, it may acquire, under the terms and in the manner the Contracting Officer considers appropriate, supplies or services similar to those terminated, and the Contractor will remain liable to the NAFI for any excess costs for those supplies or services. However the Contractor must continue the work not terminated. Defaults by subcontractors at any tier for any reason do not constitute causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. The Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: (1) Acts of God or of the public enemy (2) Act of the NAFI in either its sovereign or contractual capacity (3) Fires (4) Floods (5) Epidemics (6) Quarantine restrictions (7) Strikes (8) Freight embargoes (9) Unusually severe weather If this contract is terminated for cause, the NAFI may require the Contractor to transfer title and deliver to the NAFI as directed by the Contracting Officer, any (1) completed supplies, and (2) partially completed supplies and materials, parts, tool dies, jigs, fixtures, plans, drawings, information, and contract rights (collectively referred to as manufacturing materials in the clause) that the Contractor has specifically produced or acquired for the terminated portion of this contract. Upon direction of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall also protect and preserve property in its possession in which the NAFI has an interest. The NAFI shall pay the contract price for completed supplies delivered and accepted. The Contractor and Contracting Officer shall agree on the amount of payment for manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the protection and preservation of the property. Failure to agree will be a dispute under the Claims Clause. The NAFI may withhold from these amounts any sum the Contracting Officer determines to be necessary to protect the NAFI against loss because of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders. If, after termination, it is determined that the cause by the Contractor was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for convenience of the NAFI. The rights and remedies of the NAFI in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract. This contract is automatically terminated for the convenience of the NAFI in the event the NAFI is dissolved. 14. CHANGES The Contracting Officer may at any time, by written order, and without notice to the sureties, if any, make changes within the general scope of this contract in any one or more of the following: If the requirement is for supplies and/or services: Drawings, designs, or specifications; method of shipment or packing; description of services to be performed; time of performance (i.e., hours of the day, days of the week, etc.); place of delivery or place of performance of services. If the requirement is for concession services (including public private ventures): Specifications (including drawings and designs); method or manner of performance of work; NAFI-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services, or site; and/or directing acceleration in the performance of work. If the requirement is for transportation services: Specifications; work or services; place of origin; place of delivery; tonnage to be shipped; and/or amount of NAFI-furnished property. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether or not changed by the order, the Contracting Officer will make an equitable adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both, and modify the contract. The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within 30 days from the date of receipt of the written order; however, if the Contracting Officer decides that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a proposal submitted before final payment of the contract. If the Contractor’s proposal includes the cost of property made obsolete or excess by the change, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of the disposition of the property. If the requirement is for architect-engineer or other professional services, no services for which an additional cost or fee will be charged by the Contractor shall be furnished without the prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer. If the requirement is for concession services (including public private ventures), the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing within seven (7) days of the occurrence of any event that the Contractor considers a change to the contract that has not been authorized in writing signed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor will be deemed to have waived any right to an adjustment if timely notice is not provided to the Contracting Officer as required herein. For purposes of this clause, "event" shall include, but not be limited to, an order or direction by a NAFI or other NAFI official, a contested contract interpretation, interference with or interruption of the contract work, or any other event that increases the cost or time to perform the contract as compared to the cost or time that would be required if the Contractor performed the contract in accordance with its terms. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a “claim” under the “Claims” clause of this Contract; however, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the Contract as changed. 15.
