Extreme care and attention should be given to ensure that all necessary items are included in the proposal. L.1.1 CLAUSE FILL-INS: Some clauses require the offeror to fill in information. Pay particular attention to 52.247-60 GUARANTEED SHIPPING CHARACTERISTICS and 52.246-4028 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE POINTS: ORIGIN as that information will be used by the Government to calculate transportation costs. A completed copy of clause 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items, must be included with your proposal. (Attachment 004- Clause Fill ins) L.2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE (TIQ): The offeror shall complete each section of the TIQ (Attachment 002). Failure to complete every section of the TIQ may render your offer ineligible for award. L.2.1 ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL CAPABILITY INFORMATION: In addition to completing the TIQ regarding the Sports Utility Vehicle being proposed, the offeror shall support its responses by electronically submitting supporting documentation where indicated on the TIQ. L.3 PRICE INFORMATION: The contractor shall legibly fill-in, in U.S. Dollars, the Unit Price column and the total Amount column for all CLIN numbers 0001 - 0004 (Attachment 003- Pricing Spreadsheet). SECTION-M EVALUATION: M.1 BASIS Of AWARD: The Government plans to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract for an SUV style vehicle to a responsible offeror that is assessed as Acceptable in the Technical Capability Factor with the Lowest Total Evaluated Price. M.1.2 Evaluation: The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 12.6 ( quote mark Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items quote mark ). There are two factors: (1) Price and (2) Technical Capability. The Government intends to conduct a price evaluation, to include transportation costs, on all proposals. The Government will then conduct a technical capability review of the lowest total evaluated priced proposal. If the lowest priced proposal is determined to be Unacceptable, then the Government will conduct a technical capability review on the next lowest priced proposal. Unless the Government determines it is in its best interests to conduct discussions, the Government will follow this process until the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal is identified. M.1.3 Technical Capability Factor: For an offeror to be eligible for award, its proposal must be assessed as Acceptable under each section of the Technical Information Questionnaire (TIQ) (Attachment 0002). Offerors found to be Unacceptable under any section of the TIQ will not be considered for award. To determine Acceptability, (1)the Offeror's response must indicate it can meet each requirement on the TIQ; and, (2)where supporting documentation is required, the Government will review the information submitted to confirm that the Offeror is capable of meeting the requirement. An Acceptable proposal is one which clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. An Unacceptable proposal is one which does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. M.1.4 Price Factor: The information submitted in response to Section L.3 will be evaluated to assess the reasonableness of the offeror's total evaluated price. A price is considered reasonable if it does not exceed what would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The total evaluated price will consist of the total sum of all CLIN numbers 0001 -0004 and the transportation costs as determined by the ACC-Warren Transportation Office for all FOB origin CLINs. M.1.5 Discussions: In accordance with FAR clause 52.212-1(g), 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 capability standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. In addition, the Government reserves the right, without entering discussions, to request additional information necessary to support the offeror's price in order to determine price reasonableness. Offers are due no later than 25 Aug 2014, 1600 local time Warren, MI. Quotations must be submitted electronically to Kathy Kessler at Kathy.a.kessler.civ@mail.mil. No phone calls will be accepted.
