NOTICE TO OFFERORS – SOLICIATION REQUIREMENTS

If you disagree with any of the solicitation requirements (which includes all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications), you must inform the Government of your issue with the aforementioned requirements and provide your rationale for disagreement. The Government reserves the right to reject any/all quotes which do not conform to the solicitation requirements.

OPTIONS: The Government does not guarantee the Option CLINs – which consist of CLINs 1001 through 2006 – will be exercised; however, since Option pricing is included in the total evaluated price, it is to all Offerors’ advantage to provide us with the best possible pricing for CLINs 0001 through 0006 and for all Option item CLINs.

The Option item CLINs, should they be exercised, will be exercised via unilateral modification(s) from the Government on a Standard Form 30.

SHIPPING: Shipping will be FOB Destination (Tinker AFB, OK 73145) only. Separate charges for shipping/freight will not be allowed. Please work this charge into your quote’s total price if applicable.

SUPPORTING TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Please provide item specifications/technical information to us. This information must be sufficient for us to determine that each item either fits or does not fit the description of what we’re asking for.

INTERCHANGES: We intend to issue the award without interchanges; however, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges with one, some, or all Offerors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received; therefore, the Offeror’s initial quotation should be complete and contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Failure to follow all instructions will render your quotation ineligible for award.

EVALUATION OF RESPONSES: Award will be conducted and evaluated under the provisions of FAR Part 12 Commercial Items and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

After closing of this solicitation, the lowest three quotes will be evaluated by Contracting and by the Government’s subject matter experts (SME). The following evaluation factor will be used: Lowest Total Price.

The Government will also review Terms & Conditions-related items such as (but not limited to) shipping info, payment info, inclusion of product documentation, the offered product’s technical merit, completed pricing, Contractor responsibility (IAW FAR 9.104-6(a)), and any other non-price items related to this requirement. The Government reserves the right to request more information from any Offeror about their quote or to conduct interchanges at any time during the evaluation process.

The Government reserves the right to withhold award for this requirement if it determines it to be in their best interest. The successful Offeror will be notified that they will receive the award via email from Contracting.
