The Government has determined that the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable offer with the greatest warranty, shortest delivery schedule, and lowest Total Evaluate Price (TEP); therefore, the Government will evaluate offers based on trade-off procedures. Award will be made on the basis of all other evaluation factors when combined are significantly more important than cost or price. Quotes that do not include all requested information in FAR 52.212-1 and 52.212-2 will be considered non-responsive. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical capability: Items meet the Government requirement/specifications listed in the description. If all requested information is not provided or does not meet the requirements identified, the Government will determine the quote to be nonresponsive. Warranty: Each item is backed by a warranty from the offeror. While there is no minimum requirement, better warranties (as determined by duration and/or coverage) will be given more weight than those with shorter durations and/or less coverage. Delivery Schedule: Product will be delivered within 90 days After Date of Contract (ADC). Greater weight will be given to those offerors who are able to deliver the product as early as possible. Price: No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition. In the event adequate price competition does not exist, the contracting officer will obtain information from the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices. (b) The Government will evaluate quotes in accordance with the following evaluation criteria: (i) The Government will evaluate quotes for acceptability but will not rank the quotes by non-price factors. If the Government receives fewer than three (3) quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is in the Government’s best interest to do so. (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.
