The submission of a quote in response to this solicitation will be considered irrevocable consent by the vendor to participate in the "reverse auction". In the event FISC Norfolk conducts price negotiations via reverse auction, all vendors who submitted a timely and technically acceptable quote will be given an opportunity to become a qualifying vendor. Only those vendors who submit a timely and technically acceptable quote and who timely and successfully complete all registration and all training requirements will be considered a qualifying vendor. The registration process includes the completion and execution of forms and agreements required for the reverse auction process. Warning: Vendors who fail to become a qualifying vendor for purposes of reverse auction price negotiations, if held, will be ineligible for contract award and eliminated from further considerations. The reverse auction, if held, will commence within 10 calendar days of the closing date of this solicitation. Qualifying vendors will be notified of the specific starting time at least 2 working days prior to the commencement of the event. Notification will be by electronic mail, return receipt requested. Vendors shall timely complete the registration and training process through https://gov1.procuri.com in accordance with the established procedures and guidelines.

Example: if a vendor submits a lowest price offer that posts after 19 minutes and 15 seconds have elapsed (within the last 2 minutes of the period), the reverse auction period will be automatically extended for a total time period of 21 minutes and 15 seconds (an extension of 2 minutes from the post time of the last lowest offer). If extended, the reverse auction period will automatically close when 2 minutes have elapsed without a vendor posting another lowest price offer. The timeliness of a price offer will be based upon when the government receives it. Vendors shall not revise their price offers upwards. The vendor's initial quote shall be their starting price offer during the reverse auction price negotiations. The minimum decrement for revised price offers shall be $50.00 from the last posted lowest price offer. Vendors shall submit all revised price offers only through the online mechanism supplied by Procuri.com.

Each qualifying vendor expressly and irrevocably consents to reveal their prices (in anonymity) during the reverse auction price negotiations. All qualifying vendor's initial quotes and subsequent price revisions, if any, will be anonymously revealed to all qualifying vendors during the reverse auction. By submitting a revised price offer, the vender unconditionally revokes all its prior posted price offers. By submitting a revised price offer, the vendor confirms that its revised price offer is not the result of a mistake of any kind and agrees to be bound by the revised price offer. No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless discussions are held and final quotes are requested. The contracting officer reserves the right to suspend or cancel the reverse auction at any time. If the contracting officer suspends or cancels the reverse auctions, final quotes will be requested from only the qualifying vendors by an amendment to the solicitation.
