Description of requirement : SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT OF WORK Period of Performance : Approximately July 19, 2016 through August 30, 2016. Coordination of scheduling shall be a joint effort between the Oregon National Guard and the Contractor. Provision for Evaluation: Award will be made to the responsible contractor (see FAR Part 9) whose quote or offer meets the technical requirements and represents the best value on an “all or nothing” basis. In accordance with FAR Subpart 13.106-1, in addition to Price , the Government will consider the following for award, in no particular order: Technical Acceptability : In order to be deemed technically acceptable, the contractor must provide evidence of understanding of the requirement through either a written proposal that addresses SOW requirements. Availability/Delivery/Performance : The ability to complete work by August 30, 2016 is an important part of successful completion of this project. Past Performance : Demonstrated Past Performance on recent and relevant contracts with same or similar scope, giving priority to most recent performances for the Oregon National Guard or other Department of Defense activities. Please provide references for similar services performed, to include contract number, and point of contact information. Evaluation will be in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.106-2 and utilize trade off of price for performance at the Contracting Officer’s discretion. The offeror must demonstrate in the response the capability to meet all contract requirements through past experience at similar events, either as the prime or major subcontractor, or by identification of key personnel that have past experience in similar events. The Contractor shall prepare a technical narrative describing how the tasks will be completed in the timeframe allotted including a listing of the types and numbers of laborers that will be utilized, and a description of the facilities and special equipment to be utilized. The offeror must also demonstrate the ability to access and update MODS programs. The Oregon National Guard will not be able to sponsor access to these programs in advance of the event, requiring the offeror to have gained access to, and have familiarity with these programs. The Government intends to evaluate quotes/offers and make award without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial quote/offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price standpoint. Do not assume you will have the opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise your quote/offer. Offerors may, at the discretion of the Government, be asked to provide more information and clarification regarding their offer/quote. Request for such information does not constitute discussions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Government intends to make a single, Firm-Fixed Price award. Any response to this synopsis/solicitation will be considered a “quotation”. “Offer” means a response to a solicitation that, if accepted, would bind the offeror to perform the resultant contract. Responses to invitations for bids (sealed bidding) are offers called “bids” or “sealed bids”; responses to requests for proposals (negotiation) are offers called “proposals”; however, responses to requests for quotations (simplified acquisition) are “quotations,” not offers. FAR 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations. (a) 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. (b) When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing, as defined at 2.101 . 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. (c) 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. (See 13.302-4 for procedures on termination or cancellation of purchase orders.)
