The NAFI intends to award a purchase order from this RFQ to the responsible Offeror whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be the best value to the NAFI. Failure to acknowledge any Amendments may result in your quote not being considered for award. Contract type shall be Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP). For the Technical Response – The quote shall consist of a narrative and supporting data that addresses all technical requirements contained in the RFQ. The quote shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation. The Offeror’s technical quote must address the following element: FACTOR 1: Technical Capability FACTOR 2: Delivery 2. Evaluation and Award Factors: The Offeror who is deemed responsible and responsive with the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote will be determined to represent the best value. Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted requirements that meet the technical criteria that are contained in the solicited item description or its equal. Quotes initially will be ranked from lowest to highest based on total price. The NAFI will then evaluate the three lowest priced quotes for Technical Acceptability. However, the NAFI reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if deemed to be in the best interest of the NAFI. If additional quotes are evaluated for technical acceptability, they will be evaluated in the order of total price. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose quote is the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable quotes. The NAFI may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Examples of such techniques include, but are not limited to, the following: comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFQ, comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than the Government, for the same or similar items. Factor 1 - Technical Capability Factor 2 - Delivery A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer e-mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Offeror shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the Offeror’s specified expiration time, the NAFI 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. 3. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Offerors shall provide detailed responses addressing each evaluation factor, including verification that the proposed officials have the adequate certifications. In addition, a detailed technical approach and service delivery plan is to be presented. 4. Registrations. To be eligible for award, Offerors must be determined responsible.
