[email protected] Offeror shall use the following method for delivering offers / quotes: Prefer quotes to be e-mailed to
[email protected]; alternately, fax quotes to (302) 677-2309. 1. PART I - PRICE PROPOSAL 2. PART II - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL. Submit proposal based on the requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW) instructions. Identify submitted material by corresponding factor, sub-factor, and paragraph herein. If an element requested has been covered previously, so state and reference the previous factor. Provide sufficient discussion/explanation of how the requirements can be satisfied; restating the requirements identified in the SOW will render your technical proposal unacceptable. If an Offeror is subcontracting/teaming with another vendor who will perform more than 10 percent of the work, technical information shall be submitted for each vendor. The technical proposals shall provide a clear distinction of functions to be performed by the prime and subcontractor to include: the nature of work, criticality of the work, and the percentage of overall effort performed by each subcontractor in each area of service provided. Failure to provide a technical volume on each vendor in a subcontracting/teaming arrangement shall render their proposal non-responsive and unacceptable in that area. a.) FACTOR - Vendor must be authorized to perform work, as required by the SOW, on the Verizon equipment located at Dover AFB, DE. GENERAL PROPOSAL INFORMATION Offerors are hereby notified that initial proposals which are found incomplete may be rejected without affording the offeror an opportunity to satisfy the requirement of the Government. Notwithstanding the information included in support of the offeror's technical capability, the contractor must meet all requirements of this request for proposal. 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD 1. This is a competitive selection in which competing offerors will be evaluated on a basis of the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Evaluation procedures shall be IAW FAR 15.101-2 when best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest price. The Government expects to award one firm-fixed price contract as a result of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions or make no award should no vendor prove to be an acceptable offeror based on the criteria set forth in the solicitation. The US Government will make an award to the responsible (IAW the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)) contractor whose offer conforms to the solicitation and are determined to be the most advantageous to the Government considering price and non-price factors. The Government will evaluate Part II, Technical Capability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. After an offeror has received an overall Acceptable rating on the Technical, the Government will then evaluate the offer's price. Offerors receiving an Unacceptable rating for the Technical Capability will not receive further consideration. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and other information required by 52.212-1 of this solicitation. 2. REJECTION OF UNREALISTIC OFFERS: Any proposal which is unrealistic will be judged either as exhibiting a lack of competence or failure to comprehend the Government's requirements and may be so evaluated and rated, or rejected for such reasons. Furthermore, any significant inconsistency between the Technical Proposal and Price Proposal, if unexplained, may be grounds for rejection of the proposal. The Government will evaluate each proposal strictly IAW it's content and will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the Offeror's proposal. Nothing in this paragraph is to be construed as a promise by the Government to conduct a price realism analysis where it would otherwise not be required to do so. The decision to conduct or not to conduct such an analysis remains in the sound discretion of the Contracting Officer. PRICE: The Government will evaluate offers based on the total price proposed for CLIN 0001 - the Relocation of the Service Delivery Point. The offeror's quote will be evaluated for Reasonableness and Realism. 1. Reasonableness: The existence of adequate price competition is expected to support a determination of reasonableness. Price analysis techniques may be used to further validate price reasonableness. If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis, other techniques will be used. 2. Realism: The contractor's proposed costs will be evaluated to determine if the price is realistic for the work required, if the cost reflects a clear understanding of the requirement, and if the cost is consistent with the elements of the technical proposal. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: The government will consider the completeness and feasibility of the offeror's Technical Proposal (Part II) to assess the offeror's understanding of the items and its ability to successfully complete contract requirements. Ratings will be given on the basis as follows: FACTOR - Vendor must be authorized to perform work, as required by the SOW, on the Verizon equipment located at Dover AFB, DE. This factor will be met when the offeror provides a letter from Verizon authorizing the offeror to relocate the SDP equipment at Dover AFB, DE. The following ratings will be used in rating technical capability: Acceptable: Proposed clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable: Proposed does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications--Commercial Items - The contractor shall fill out the Online Representation and Certification Application (ORCA) at https://orca.bpn.gov/.
