USU can ship these patches to the awardee for this service. Offerors must note that the integrity of the pocket must not be compromised. Offerors should state in the quote package with pricing if this is a service they can provide. The coats must be delivered by February 9, 2015. If the patches can be sewn over the pocket, the coats may be delivered by February 17, 2015. The required delivery dates for the future option years will be determined annually. USU will disclose these dates at least two weeks prior to delivery. Evaluation / Award Detail: The Government intends to issue a single, five-year, firm-fixed priced (FFP) purchase order (PO) to the offeror representing the best value to the Government based on the evaluation factors listed below. Evaluation factors are listed in order of importance, with most important listed first. The Government will conduct a trade-off between price and non-price factors. The Government is not required to award to the lowest priced offeror or the offeror quoting the highest technically rated item. Evaluation Factors (in order of importance): 1.Technical. Offerors must quote products that reflect the desired specifications outlined in the Minimum Specifications section. To demonstrate, offerors must provide product literature for the quoted items. Offerors must also indicate whether the required delivery date of February 9, 2015 can be met (or February 17, 2015 for the inclusion of the patch service). If unable to meet this date, offerors must provide an alternative date when the delivery can be made. 2.Price. Offerors must include all applicable costs, e.g. shipping, in the quote. The total quoted price for all components will be the evaluated price. Offerors should include their preferred method of payment. USU prefers to make payment(s) using the Visa Government Purchase Card (GPC). In addition to providing the product literature, offerors must also submit a copy of the completed CLIN Structure spreadsheet* in the quote package.

Please note there are two sheets to be completed in the Excel file. Quoted items must be new. Quotes for refurbished equipment will not be considered. Offerors must also indicate in quote where item is manufactured. Offerors may provide quotes for multiple coat models. The Federal Government prefers not to use third-party-payment merchants, e.g. PayPal, to exchange currencies. This is because these merchants can mask the actual merchant/vendor and impede the Government's effort to promote transparency. If these third-party-payment merchants must be used, offeror must include a compelling justification in the quote package. This will be considered as a part of the Price evaluation factor. Items will be shipped to Bethesda, MD. See attached list for applicable provisions and clauses for this requirement. Offerors must submit a copy of completed Required Provisions. Failure to do so may result in the quote package being deemed nonresponsive. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions.
