Simply reiterating that the proposed item meets or exceeds the specifications is not acceptable. On a separate paper from the technical information, the quote must contain the price, a statement that the price will remain valid for 90 days after the date of the quote, and the amount of time needed for delivery of the required item. The quote must also include the quoting company's name, address, CAGE Code, Point-of-Contact's name, phone, and email address, Quotation Number and Date. Technical Ability will be determined as follows: Step A: The Government will initially evaluate the written quote to determine if the proposed item appears to meet the required specifications. If the quoted item does not meet the specifications, the quote will be determined to be technically unacceptable. If the evaluation determines the item appears to meet the required specifications, the contractor will be notified and required to provide a sample item to be tested on 6 or 7 May 2013. If the contractor can't submit a sample item to be tested on either of those dates, the quote will be determined to be non-responsive. Step B: The items that appear to meet the required specifications based on the written quotations will be tested to ensure they meet the required specifications and be given a score. The score is the total time it takes to complete all of the steps in Attachment 1 (FA8601-13-T-0130 Ultra-High Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyzer Step B Test Process). The minimum number of people to be present at the testing of the item will be the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist, the Government Program Manager, and the Contractor's Representative(s) (no more than two). At any time during the testing of the item it is discovered that the item fails to accomplish the specific tasks identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3, the testing will be stopped and the Contracting Officer will find the quote technically unacceptable. The item will be returned to the contractor at the conclusion of the testing. The same Government samples will be used to test each contractor's submitted sample item. If the testing of the sample item confirms the item meets all of the required specifications and accomplishes the specified tests in Tables 1, 2, and 3, it will be considered technically acceptable and given a score for Technical Ability. The score for Technical Ability is the total amount of time for the item to accomplish all of the tests identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3. (A lower score is considered better Technical Ability i.e., when comparing two or more scores for Technical ability, the Contractor with the lowest score would be considered to have the best Technical Ability.) The Government will make an award from this RFQ to the responsible offeror whose quote will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The factors that shall be used to evaluate the quotes are Technical Ability and Price, with Technical Ability more important than price. The Government reserves the right to not make an award at all. By submission of a quotation, the offeror acknowledges the requirements that a prospective awardee must be registered in the System for Award Management Registration (SAM) prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. Point-of-Contact is Jan Holbrook (937) 522-4609. Offers can be emailed to jan.holbrook@wpafb.af.mil or to Alternate Regina Robinson at regina.robinson@wpafb.af.mil. All offers are due by 12:00 pm (noon) Eastern Time, 2 May 2013.
