PER FAR 4.1202, See 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS. Payment: Made only in accordance with "DFARS 252.232-7003 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports JUN 2012" and "DFARS 252.232-7006 Wide Area Workflow Payment Instructions MAY 2013" Question Submission Deadline: Interested Offerors shall submit any questions concerning the combined synopsis/solicitation at the earliest time possible, but no later than 1:00 P.M. central time on 10 January 2019 to enable the Government time to respond in a FBO posting for fair opportunity to all interested parties. Questions received after this date and time will only be considered if it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the best interest of the Government. Basis of Award: Best Value with be determined by Value Adjusted Total Evaluated Price Tradeoff (VATEP). The government is willing to tradeoff price for an earlier delivery. This is to incentivize industry to the urgent need. That tradeoff will be specific to a percentage price evaluation factor based off the guaranteed delivery date (In other words - when evaluating lowest price, the government will deduct your quoted total price a certain percentage based off your guaranteed delivery date). This is for evaluation purposes only. A FFP contract will be issued for the quoted price to a technically acceptable awardee. See VATEP Attachment for Details and scenario breakdown. Those percentages are as follows: Deliver Less Than 59 days After Contract Award = 15% Discount Price Evaluation Deliver 60-89 Days After Contract Award = 10% Discount Price Evaluation Deliver 90-119 Days After Contract Award = 5% Discount Price Evaluation Deliver 120-149 Days After Contract Award = 2% Discount Price Evaluation Deliver 150-180 Days After Contract Award = No Discount Price Evaluation Deliver Greater than 180 Days After Contract Award = Not Acceptable EXAMPLES TO SCENERIO ARE GIVEN IN ATTACHMENTS The government will also evaluate Technical. To be Technically Acceptable the government will also consider a Past Performance minimum to show technical knowledge and ownership of the Brand Name requirement. To be technically acceptable vendor must show capability to meet this requirement within the terms of the Statement of Work, Name Brand Need, and Past Performance Acceptable: Quote meets needs of SOW, Brand Name, and show Past Performance (Show capability through prior lease of John Deere 230G, 240G, or 250G). Used machines will be considered acceptable, but all the functions of the SOW must work and the machine must be capable of being operational through the life of the contract. It is expected that if a machine is not operational that the vendor will replace said machine or provide timely maintenance to get it operational. Number of current hours must be submitted with each quoted machine. The MOARNG reserves the right to inspect a machine prior to accepting delivery. Unacceptable: Quote does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Quote is un-awardable. Clause 52.212-2 (found in CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT) provides detailed criteria on how an offeror's quote will be evaluated in order to be determined technically. The offer with the lowest price, after VATEP, determined to be technically acceptable (IAW SOW, Name Brand, Past Performance) will receive the award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors.
