Offerors are encouraged to submit their quotes using the SF1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items.

Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration. (g) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. (k) System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors must be registered in the SAM database to receive a contract award. If an offeror does not register in the SAM database within four (4) days after receiving notification from the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered offeror. The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items applies. In addition to the information within paragraph (a), the following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) technical acceptability and (ii) price. Both evaluation factors are of equal importance. The Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. 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). Offerors are required to complete representations and certifications found in the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items, FAR 52.212-3 Alternate I, and DFARS 252.209-7995 (Attachment 2).
