II. Solicitation Instructions

1. In all instances throughout this solicitation, to include the applicable provisions and clauses, any use of the word "proposal" shall be understood to mean "quote". All instances of the word "offeror" shall be

understood to mean "quoter".

2. FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of quotations or offers applies to this Acquisition.

Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this RFQ at or before the exact time specified in this. Offers may be submitted on letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the RFQ. Submit signed and dated quotes via e-mail to: Jeff Chelston E-mail: Jeffrey.m.chelston.civ@us@navy.mil.

The quoter shall: (1) include the total price (i.e., sum of all extended amounts) in the price quote, and (2) include delivery

terms, any discounts, and payment terms (e.g., Net 30) with the price quote.

Within the quote, the quoter shall provide a technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the RFQ. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary

The Government will aware a purchase order resulting from this RFQ to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the RFQ will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Award will be made to the lowest price responsible Offeror that is deemed acceptable. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following criteria: 1) Technical Description; and, 2) Price.

Award shall be made to the offeror whose quotation is the lowest price technically acceptable offer. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following evaluation criteria: 1) Technical Description; and, 2) Price.

1. Technical Description: The Government will evaluate whether the quoter has included a technical description of the services and equipment being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation, including the attached SOW. Quotations that do not include a technical description of the services and equipment being offered or do not include a technical description of the services and equipment being offered in sufficient detail to evaluation compliance with the requirements in the solicitation, including the attached SOW and CLIN Structure may not be considered for award.

1. Price: An Offeror’s Total Evaluated Price will be determined by multiplying the proposed unit prices, by the required quantities identified in each CLIN. For competitive evaluation purposes, the evaluated price for this procurement will be based on a sum of all CLINs. Offerors must provide pricing for all CLINs. All CLINs will be included in the total evaluated price. Each Offeror’s offer shall be evaluated to determine if it is complete.

In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(1), competition establishes price reasonableness. Therefore, when contracting on a firm-fixed-price basis, comparison of the proposed prices will usually satisfy the requirements to perform a price analysis, and a cost analysis need not be performed. Since this will be conducted using competitive procedures, adequate price competition is expected as the basis for determining the fair and reasonableness of the selected Offeror’s price.

In the event that there is only one satisfactory offer, the Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the Offeror and subcontractors, and may conduct negotiations with the Offeror, pursuant to FAR 15.403-4 in order to ensure a reasonable and realistic price.

A Competitive Fair and Reasonable Price Determination will be reviewed and approved by the Procuring Contracting Officer. The Competitive Fair and Reasonable Price Determination will establish price reasonableness and determine responsibility (FAR 9.103).
