Description

AMENDMENT TO A PREVIOUS COMBINED SOLICITATION VA741-14-Q-0223 The purpose of this amendment is to make changes to the Instructions to Offerors in Section E of the solicitation. Specifically any section highlighted below will not apply to this solicitation since the SF1449 was not utilized in this solicitation. IAW 12.603 Streamlined solicitation for commercial items no 1449 is needed for issuing the solicitation. All other terms/conditions and original closing date of the solicitation remain unchanged. ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212?1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS??COMMERCIAL ITEMS Instructions governing the submission of offers: Add the following instructions for submission of offers under "(b)(4)" of the standard clause 52.212-1 to read as follows: The Government will evaluate Quotes on the basis of the material presented in the written Quotes. The Offeror's Quote shall contain: 1) responses tailored specifically to the tasks listed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) solicitation; 2) written in plain language (VA prohibits the use of elaborate technical Quotes; 3) in 12-font. The technical portion of the quote shall be limited to 25 pages. Resumes (if applicable) may be up to two pages in length per individual and provided as attachments to the quote, not included with the 25 page limit. The number of pages for the price portion of the quote is not limited, but shall follow the format described above. A Firm Fixed Priced Contract will be the result of this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose offer conforms to the statement of work and is most advantageous to the Government. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions based upon the initial evaluation of quotes. The quotations will be evaluated strictly in accordance with their written content. Quotations which merely restate the requirement or state that the requirement will be met, without providing supporting rationale, are not sufficient to meet minimum requirements. Offerors who fail to meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation will be rated Unacceptable. Pre-quote discussions: The Pre-quote period is the period of time between issuance of the solicitation and due date for offers. This time period allows for an exchange of information between the VA and all potential offeror's. All questions regarding this solicitation shall be sent in writing directly to the Contracting Officer by E-mail to pedro.arritola2@va.gov. In order to allow the Government enough time to answer any questions that may be submitted, the last day to submit questions shall be August 20, 2014 by 15:00 EST. Questions that are received after that date may not be answered. The following items shall be submitted: 1. Volume 1: Technical and Quality - consisting of: Evaluation Factor 1 and Evaluation Factor 2 2. Volume 2: Past Performance - consisting of: Evaluation Factor 4 3. Volume 3: Price - consisting of: Evaluation Factor 3, a pricing narrative (basis of estimate) and Schedule of Price and Services. The following information shall be submitted separately of the Volumes: One scanned original copy of Standard Form 1449 signature page (completing blocks 17a, 17b, 30a, 30b, and 30c.) with original signature. o Any proposal submitted after the due date and time listed in block 8 of the 1449 shall be considered nonresponsive to the solicitation and rejected. o It is the offeror's responsibility to insure that their proposal is submitted in its entirety. Partial proposals shall be considered non-responsive to the solicitation and shall be rejected. o The offeror shall clearly separate each Evaluation Factor submitted with their offer. o The offeror shall submit narrative responses tailored specifically to each Evaluation Factor. o The offeror shall not submit the company's general marketing literature or brochures. Such materials are not considered responsive to the specific evaluation criteria and shall not be evaluated by the board. For those written Evaluation Factors Offerors shall address in detail each factor. The Offeror shall include all supporting details necessary for the Government to determine the Offerors technical qualifications and ability to perform the required services, as well as the adequacy and advantages of the quote. Please Note: All electronic submissions shall be sent by E-mail to the Contracting Officer pedro.arritola2@va.gov on or before the date and time listed in block 8 of the 1449. Please keep all email file size submissions under 5mb. Send in multiple emails if required or reduce file sizes.
