The following evaluation factors in the descending order of importance will be used to evaluate offers: (1) Technical Acceptability (2) Price (3) Delivery 1. Technical acceptability is defined as the contractor's ability to meet or exceed the requirement. Technical acceptability will be evaluated on a Pass or No-Pass basis. Only those offers evaluated, as Pass will be further evaluated and considered for award. PASS: The offeror has submitted the required documentation necessary for the purchasing activity to determine whether the product offered meets the salient characteristics of the requirement. FAIL: The offeror did not submit the required documentation necessary for the purchasing activity to determine whether the product offered meets the salient characteristics of the requirement. 2. Price. Offerors will be evaluated for price. Price shall be quoted in accordance with the CLIN(s) to be incorporated in the Schedule of Supplies and Services in the event an award is made. Price shall include a firm fixed price. 3. Delivery. Offers will be evaluated for delivery. The requested delivery date is 30 days after receipt of award. Delivery is defined as the capacity of the offeror and affirmation by the offeror to deliver all items per shipment as specified within the requested delivery date. As shipped, all deliveries shall be delivered to Fort Bragg, NC 28310 in one shipment (preferred). The factor of technical acceptability is significantly more important than price and delivery combined. The factor of price is slightly more important than delivery. Offers shall remain valid for a minimum of 30 days. (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). (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. 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items and Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS) 252.212.7000, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items are applicable to this requirement and offerors shall include a completed copy of the Representations and Certifications with their bid. DFARS 252.211-7003, Item Identification and Valuation. Unique Identification Information UID of items is accomplished by marking each qualifying item with a permanent 2-dimensional data matrix. The data matrix is encoded with the data elements necessary to construct a Unique Item Identifier (UII) which is globally unique and unambiguous. The data elements required to form a UII include the manufacturer's identification (i.e. cage code) and the item's serial number. If the manufacturer serializes within part number, that data element will also be encoded. Because the data matrix is machine-readable, IUID marking greatly reduces human error and improves the accuracy of inventory and acquisition records. UIIs are stored in comprehensive IUID Registry, which allows easy access to information such as acquisition cost and life-cycle data. The IUID Registry is maintained by the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS). Every IUID delivery includes the required data elements describing the end item and the "pedigree" of embedded items. This data is captured during the acceptance process via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) application, or after acceptance via direct data submission. Items marked with IUIDs accelerate the receipt and acceptance process, allowing DoD to submit payment to its vendors in a timely fashion, thereby saving on late charges) SOFARS 5652.219-9004, Technical and Contractual Questions Concerning this solicitation using the same contact information identified in clause 5652-201-9002. DELIVERY/ ACCEPTANCE POINT: Delivery location is Fort Bragg, NC 28310. Full delivery address will be provided upon award.
