The government intends to make a single award for this requirement – Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Quotes for less than the required items will not be accepted. The government intends to award without discussions while reserving the right to communicate with offerors if determined advantageous to the government. Offerors are encouraged to provide their best quoted pricing in their initial quote. FAR Clause 52.212-2 - Evaluation Factors - Commercial Items: (a) 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: All quotes submitted will be evaluated for (1) Technical Capability, (2) Past Performance and (3) Price. Price - The government will issue an award to the offeror whose quote is the Lowest Price of those determined to meet at least the minimum requirements to be determined Technically Capable. Offeror's are encouraged to propose their best price. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposed based off the bottom line total inclusive of any options if applicable. Technical Capability is defined as the documented capability to meet the minimum requirements of the project as specified in this solicitation and the specification (Description of Requirement (DOR)). The Offeror’s quote should clearly outline the Offeror’s capability to meet the requirement of the DOR. Past Performance - To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the Offeror shall provide documentation of satisfactory performance on past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed within the last three (3) years including references, with names and contact information (phone number and email address) of the references who can verify such past performance. Past performance information of key personnel may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance. 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 shall supply a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. The Government's approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The Offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the Offeror. It is not the intent of the government to enter into negotiations. It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient documentation and information for the Government to determine technical capability and quoted price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical capability and quoted price may be cause for rejection of your quote. An award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price, including options if applicable (IAW 52.212-2(b)), of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Before a complete evaluation of your quote can be made offerors must provide "Offeror Representations and Certifications" for their company. The preferred method for providing Reps & Certs is to include this information in your SAM registration. Offerors who do not include their Reps & Certs in their SAM registration must print, complete, and include FAR Clause 52.212-3 Alt I, Offeror Representations and Certifications - with their quote package.
