If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations.

The quotation and other information must be provided in accordance with the following table of contents:

Part Contents

Cover Page1 Technical Approach (sent separately to NCTF)2 Past Performance 3 Price 4 Completed and signed RFQ (SF1449) and if applicable, an executed copy of Amendment(s) with SAM

data5 Vendor’s representations and Certifications (to include signed FAR 52.209-11, FAR 52.222-52 and

FAR 52.203-18

Cover Page must include:- Request for quote number- Name and address of vendor, cage code, DUNS and applicable Tax I.D. Number (TIN)- Point of Contact name, telephone number, and email address- Quote validity period of at least 120 days from the submittal of the RFQ

Graphics (including tables) in the submittal may use an alternative font with 8-point size type or larger. Each page is defined as on Sheet, 8 ½” x 11”, with at least one inch margins on all sides, using a font with a 12 point size font or greater (e.g., “Times New Roman” style with 12 point font). Lines shall, at a minimum, be single-spaced. Pages shall be consecutively numbered. Multiple pages, double pages, two-sided pages, or foldouts will count as the equivalent of 8 ½” x 11” pages. Vendors are permitted to submit no more than one page for each of the following: a cover sheet, list of tables, list of figures, compliance matrix, and table of contents, tabs and dividers.

N0018917QG042

Page 32 of 55

Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency.

System for Award Management (SAM) [Formally CCR – Central Contractor Registration]. Vendors must be registered in the SAM database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/.

All quotes shall include price(s), a point of contact, name and phone number, business size, payment terms, cage code, duns number, and tax ID.

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price definite delivery definite quantity contract to the responsible vendor whose quote represents the best value to the Government after evaluation in accordance with the factors and sub-factors in the RFQ.

The establishment of a competitive range is not anticipated.

Accordingly, each vendor should submit its most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint.

The Government, nonetheless, reserves the right to establish a competitive range and conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

The quote shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in, RFQ provision FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Instructions to Vendor -Commercial Items” and its Addendum.

The evaluation of quotes will consider the Non-Price Quote to be more important than the Price Quote. Within the Non-Price Quote, Factor I, Technical is considered to be more important than Factor II, Past Performance.

Although price is weighted in a manner that makes it less important than the non-price factor, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process.

The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the quotes in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based.

The importance of price will also increase when a quote's price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might be gained under the other aspects of the quote.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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:

See Addendum to 52.212-2 below.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are considered to be more important than price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

N0018917QG042

Page 33 of 55

(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.

(End of provision)

Addendum to 52.212-2

1. Non-Price Quote Evaluation Criteria.

The Non-Price quote is comprised of the following factors:

Factor I: Technical

The quote will be evaluated on its ability to provide a Product Demonstration Model (PDM) that conforms to the criteria of the Statement of Work (SOW) and its feasibility, its comprehensiveness, and the degree to which the quote demonstrates how the requirements of the SOW will be successfully accomplished and specifically addresses the items identified in the addendum to 52.212-1.

The following table will be utilized for the assignment of ratings for Factor I:Rating Definition

OutstandingQuote meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

GoodQuote meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Quote contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

AcceptableQuote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

MarginalQuote does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The quote has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Quote is un-awardable

DEFINITIONS:

Strength - An aspect of the quote that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Weakness - A flaw in the quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant Weakness - A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiency - A material failure of a quote to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a quote that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Risk – (as it pertains to source selection) The potential for unsuccessful contract performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which an quote’s proposed approach to achieving the Non-Price technical factor may involve risk of disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

N0018917QG042

Page 34 of 55

Although price is weighted in a manner that makes it less important than the non-price factor, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process.

The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the grades in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based

The importance of price will also increase when a quote’s price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the government that might be gained under other aspects of the quote.

Factor II: Past Performance:

For the Past Performance factor, the following tables entitled “Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Table” and “Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Table” will be utilized for the assignment of ratings for relevancy and confidence assessment:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Description

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ requires.

Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the quote’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the quote’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the quote’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the quote’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the vendor’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

As discussed in Section 52.212-1 (Addendum), the Past Performance evaluation will only consider work experience already performed.

Work yet-to-be performed, and work prior to the last three (3) years from the date the RFQ was issued will not be considered.

Nor will the Contracting Officer evaluate more than the first three (3) contract references submitted.

Performance as or by a sub-contractor will be evaluated as described in Section 52.212-1 (Addendum).

N0018917QG042

Page 35 of 55

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings – Regarding relevancy, each past performance reference will be evaluated to determine its scope and magnitude relative to the instant requirement. The following definitions will apply to this evaluation:

- Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the SOW.

- Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the dollar value of actually performed work that exists between the SOW and the vendor’s contracts. Magnitude will be evaluated on the dollar amount of work actually performed under the contract or contracts during the relevant three-year period established by the RFQ.

A vendor lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

However, a quote with no relevant past performance history, while not rated favorably or unfavorably for past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government.

In this instance, the vendor will receive a rating of “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)” in the past performance sub-factor.

Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings –. Each contract reference will be evaluated individually. The Contracting Officer will then perform an integrated assessment of all the vendor’s contract references to arrive at an overall assigned rating for Past Performance: the Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating.

The assignment of this rating will be based on the quality of the relevant past performance and will also consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in vendor’s performance.

The quality of performance under a past performance reference found to be “Not Relevant” will not be considered in the overall assessment of Past Performance Confidence.

This evaluation and rating is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination.

The assessment of the vendor’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the quote and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the RFQ.

In determining the rating for the past performance evaluation sub-factor, the Government will give greater consideration to the contracts which the Government feels are most relevant to the RFQ.

Overall Non-Price/Cost Quote Rating

Upon completion of the Non-price Factor evaluation, a composite rating for the overall Non-Price Factor will be assigned to each quote. The assignment of this overall rating will take into consideration the comparative weightings of Technical and Past Performance.

The ratings listed as follows will be used:

Rating Definition

OutstandingQuote meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

GoodQuote meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Quote contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Page 36 of 55

AcceptableQuote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

MarginalQuote does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The quote has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Quote is un-awardable

2. Factor III: Price Quote Evaluation Criteria.

Price quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 Price Analysis. The particular method(s) of evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Price will be evaluated based on the price included in the “Schedule of Supplies/Services” submitted as a part of the quote.

For award purposes, the quote’s total price will be calculated by adding the total price for the basic requirement.

If, at any stage of the evaluation, all vendors are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, or generally equivalent, non-price quotes, price could become the factor in determining which quote shall receive the award.

The Contracting Officer may evaluate any and all information submitted by the vendor to support the reasonableness of prices proposed.

Source Selection DecisionThe government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract using the acquisition procedures of FAR 13.5. The Government will select the vendor whose quote represents the best value to the Government, considering price and other factors when compared to other vendors. The Government also reserves the right to not award a contract or order if the award is not in the best interest of the Government.

3. Written Notice.

A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote emailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quote shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. received before award.

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in FAR subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the SAM database; (B) comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(u) Unauthorized Obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an ``I agree'' click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., ``click-wrap'' or ``browse-wrap'' agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(v) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor's representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
