The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order. The Government reserves the right to award this contract based on initial quotations without holding discussions. Therefore, the initial quotations shall contain the offeror's best terms and conditions. The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, is the lowest price, technically acceptable quotation. Technical Acceptability will be evaluated as follows: The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical approach to determine that it has adequately demonstrated: •An understanding of the requirements; •The ability to successfully provide the required maintenance and repairs of the instrument; and •The ability to provide engineers or technicians meeting the minimum qualifications. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's and, if appropriate, its proposed subcontractors' past performance information to determine its relevance to the current requirements and whether the information demonstrates a satisfactory or better rating of past performance in the past three years. In assessing the offeror's past performance, NIST will evaluate the quality, timeliness and ability to control cost and schedule of past work to determine the quality of maintenance and repairs of X7 ICP-MS spectrometers, and the extent to which the offeror has performed work of a similar type, magnitude and complexity. The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from other sources. The Government will assign a neutral rating to offerors with no relevant past performance. If the Government determines that Past Performance issues represent an unreasonable risk of performance failure, the offeror's quote may be determined to be technically unacceptable. Price The price evaluation will determine whether the proposed prices are fair and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements. Proposed prices shall be entirely compatible with the technical quotations. REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS All Contractors shall submit the following: 1.For the purpose of evaluation of Technical Acceptability: Offerors shall provide documentation that clearly demonstrates their understanding of the requirement; ability to provide maintenance services and repairs as specified in the statement of work; and documentation demonstrating Offeror's engineers or technicians meet the required minimum qualifications in accordance with the Statement of Work. Additionally, Offeror shall provide past performance information regarding all relevant contracts for the PAST THREE YEARS with federal, state or local governments, and international and commercial customers. The information shall describe contracts of a similar type and scope as the current requirement. If the offer intends to use another firm for part of this requirement, that firm's past performance information must also be provided. If the Offeror has no relevant past performance it must include a statement to that effect in its quote. The government reserves the right to consider data obtained from sources other than those described by the Offeror in its quote. The description of each contract described in this section shall not exceed a half page. For each of the above listed contracts, the Offeror shall provide the following information, as applicable: •Contract Number; •Description and relevance to solicitation requirements; •Period of Performance - Indicate by month and year the start and completion (or "ongoing") dates for the contract; •Name and address of the client with current telephone number and email address of a point of contact of the client responsible for this contract. •Contracting Office - If a Government contract (federal or state), identify the Procuring Contracting Officer, Administrative Contracting Officer, and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and their names and current telephone numbers and email address; 2.For the purpose of Price: Offeror shall provide a firm-fixed price quotation for each Line Item as specified in the Contract Line Items, and a total firm fixed-price inclusive of all required line items. 3.Quoters shall include a completed copy of all highlighted provisions located in the Applicable Provisions and Clauses attachment. 4.If the contractor objects to any of the terms and conditions contained in this solicitation, the contractor shall state "The terms and conditions in the solicitation are acceptable to be included in the award document with the exception, deletion, or addition of the following:" [Contractor shall list exception(s) and rationale for the exception(s)].
