The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation. (a) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers: (1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due. (2) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-- (A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or (B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt offers; or (C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(4) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. (11) Contract award. The Air Force intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. 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. If the Air Force opens discussions, the competitive range may include proposals rated as "Unacceptable" at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The Air Force may make a final determination as to whether an Offeror's proposal is acceptable or unacceptable solely on the basis of the initial proposal. 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. (12) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number. (Applies to all offers exceeding $3,000, and offers of $3,000 or less if the solicitation requires the Contractor to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "DUNS" or "DUNS +4" followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address. The DUNS +4 is the DUNS number plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned at the discretion of the offeror to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see FAR Subpart 32.11) for the same concern. If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. An offeror within the United States may contact Dun and Bradstreet by calling 1-866-705-5711 or via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. An offeror located outside the United States must contact the local Dun and Bradstreet office for a DUNS number. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. (13) Central Contractor Registration. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the CCR database accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423 or 269-961-5757. (14) Debriefing. If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable: (1) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer. (2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award; (5) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency. (End of provision) 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Jan 1999) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Please provide your proposal in two sections: Section I, Technical and Section II, Price, Section II Past Performance. The technical evaluation sub-factors are below. An offeror's technical proposal must be acceptable in all factor areas in order to receive an overall "Acceptable" technical rating. A single "Unacceptable" rating for any of the technical sub-factors will result in an "Unacceptable" technical rating, and is considered unawardable. The order of importance of the technical sub-factors is considered equal. Sub-factor A: SERVICES REQUESTED The offeror's proposal clearly describes the processes, procedures and tools, that will be used to meet requirements of PWS Tasks 3.1, 3.2 including expanded descriptions in Attachment 1 PEX System Administration and Attachment UL/UC2 Ops System Administration. The offeror's proposal clearly describe Turn-Around-Time IAW PWS 3.3.2 in a way that demonstrates the offeror understands the performance threshold defined in the Service Summary (PWS 5.0 Item 1) The offeror's proposal clearly describes the processes and procedures, that will be used to ensure system administrators meet and maintain DoD 8570.01-M requirements, PWS 3.2.2 b and required skill to support windows server system administration including virtual machine environment, PWS 3.2.2d The offeror's proposal clearly describes how Up-time (Operational Availability) will be tracked and managed for individual outages to ensure PWS thresholds are met (See PWS 3.3.2.3b for Up-time requirement, 5.3 - Service Summary Performance Thresholds, item 7). Sub-factor B: Program Management The offeror's proposal clearly describes the corporate and site specific management concept, organizational structure, and use of a Quality Control plan (PWS 4.2) to execute daily operations and maintenance services at supported sites. The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach required for management of travel requirement defined under PWS 8.4 and billing process stated under PWS 3.3.3.2 The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach required for material purchases as stated in PWS 7.2 required to ensure repairs and up-time, 3.3.6, how materials will be invoiced as defined under 3.3.3.1, how materials will be reported/tracked as defined under 4.1.2. The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach to hire qualified core FTE workforce, PWS 3.1.2, 3.2.2 and 7.3, at required locations, PWS 8.1.1, to perform day one. Show understanding of qualification requirements and process to establish a FTE at required locations The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach to maintain performance thresholds (PWS 5.3 Services Summary Table) during periods of manning fluctuations (i.e. attrition, vacation or illness) for locations of performance (PWS 8.1.1). ***Sub-factor C: Transition Planning The offeror's proposal clearly describes a phase-in transition plan that meets the requirements of PWS 10.1. (b) Limit your Technical Section to no more than 15 pages. (c). To provide for an easy evaluation, the Technical Section shall be specific, detailed and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that Offerors have a thorough understanding of the requirement. The proposal must clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Statements that Offerors understand, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced documents, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or phrases such as "standard procedures will be employed" or "well know techniques will be used" or "work will continue as it has in the past" will be considered "Unacceptable" For the technical section to be considered acceptable, offerors' must clearly address each evaluation factor under the technical evaluation adequately. Any item not adequately addressed could be found unacceptable.. (d) Options. Clause 52.217-8 will be included in the final contract. This clause allows for continued performance of any services within the time limits and rates specified in the contract. Therefore each offeror must price a six month option period by a monthly amount. It is anticipated that 52.217-8 will be used to extend the contract anywhere from one to six months at the end of the initial 12-month period. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for the entire six month option 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 the option shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Price Evaluation Factor: The Price evaluation is expected to be based on adequate price competition. However, if necessary, the evaluation team reserves the right to use any proposal analysis technique in FAR Par 15.404-1 to ensure the contract is issued at a fair and reasonable price. Please follow the outline CLIN structure contained within the attached pricing spreadsheet. This is provided as a guide to help develop your pricing proposal. The spreadsheet has built-in formulas to sub-total and summarize each offeror's price. As the contractor, simply enter the monthly price from your supporting price proposal into the "Line Item Price" column for each CLIN. It is the intended CLIN structure for the contract. The estimated annual cost of cost-reimbursement line items (Travel and Material/Software Purchase) is identified by the Government and will be applied to all offers received. An offeror may not change the ceiling price, and no handling fees or profit may be applied. All pricing must be on a Firm Fixed Price basis as a monthly amount. NOTE: There is great expectation of competition for this requirement: thus offerors are cautioned to present their best price proposal up-front. The offeror's price proposal shall represent the offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. In instances where an offeror receives an acceptable technical rating, yet proposed prices appear exceptionally low, offerors may be requested to address this disparity, providing evidence of their capability and/or experience providing similar service(s) at similar price(s). An exceptionally or unrealistically low offer may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror's proposal. As noted, the six month option price (Clause 52.217-8) will be added to the total and be evaluated as part of the Total Overall Evaluated Price (TOEP). There is no page limit for the Price Section. Past Performance: Past performance will be evaluated based on responsibility analysis in accordance with FAR 9.103. The standards contained within FAR 9.104-1, including having a record of satisfactory performance record and integrity and business ethics, serve as the guidelines for this determination. The offeror must be determined responsible to receive the contract. Please provide up to three (3) samples of relevant past performance with Point of Contact/Telephone Number.
