Instructions to Offerors:
QUOTE SPECIFICS:
All quotes must include the following information:
•1. Quote shall include the contractor's Price as follows:
•a) The government shall place in order all responsive proposals by price. The unit price of the offeror's proposal shall control any conflict between the unit price and the extended amount submitted in response to this solicitation. Failure to propose for any item in the Price Schedule may cause the offeror's proposal to be rejected as non-responsive. Award will be made based on the total price.
•b) Materials must be delivered within the timeline specified in the Quote Schedule.
•2. Company Point of Contact with name, address, email address, and telephone number.
•3. Quotes must be valid for a period of no less than 45 days.
NOTE: Vendor specific terms and conditions that may be contingently proposed for subsequent inclusion into the contract will not be considered by the Government in its evaluation of quotations. This aspect also includes the Government's exclusion from requests by vendors to enter into supplemental agreements from their respective company in order to conduct business under a resultant contract award. Vendors that are not able to comply with the aforementioned conditions will be determined as noncompliant with the solicitation requirements and therefore may be removed from consideration for award.
Evaluation of Quotes: In accordance with FAR 12.602(a) and FAR 13.106-2, the following is provided:
EVALUATION
(a) The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this Request for Quotation (RFQ) to the vendor whose quotation conforms to the solicitation and is considered most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:
•1. Price Quotation
(b) Basis of Award: The award will be made to the vendor whose quotation represents the best value to the government. As allowed by FAR 13.106-2(b)(1), the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process shall be applied. Award will be made to the vendor who is deemed responsible and responsive, and represents the best value to the government based on selection of the lowest evaluated price that is deemed technically acceptable. To be eligible for award, a quotation must meet all technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and provide all information required. The three lowest priced quotes will then be evaluated on technical acceptability. The technical area will be evaluated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis. If the quotation received is determined to be "unacceptable" in the technical performance factor, the vendor will be excluded from competition and will not be considered for award. Only those quotes with "acceptable" ratings for technical evaluation will be considered for award. If all evaluated vendors are deemed overall "acceptable" for technical the award will be made based on lowest price.
(End of Provision)
In accordance with FAR 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations the following information is provided in regards to quotations.
A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.
When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred.
If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer.
The following clauses and provisions apply to this solicitation:
