Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award. Registration is free. https://www.sam.gov In addition, the following information must be submitted with the quotation: • DUNS Number • Sufficient product literature in order to evaluate quote. • Make/Model/Part Number Questions on Request for Quote (RFQ): If you have any questions regarding this RFQ, please e-mail the contract specialist at Delisa.Corbett@tsa.dhs.gov. All questions shall be received no later than August 24, 2017 at 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The email shall include "HSTS05-17-Q-OTD531 - QUESTION" in the subject line. Quotation Submittal Instructions: The quotation submittal shall include the pricing table in Section 2.0, or a similar format, so long as all information requested is included. Sufficient product literature must be submitted in order to verify that the item meets all specifications. Due Date: September 1, 2017, 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Submit to: Delisa.Corbett@tsa.dhs.gov Submittal Format: Electronic submissions only 7.0 Evaluation The quotation will be evaluated on price and technical acceptability. TSA plans to award a single award IDIQ contract in accordance with FAR 12 & 13.5. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 is not applicable. The evaluation methodology is as follows: Award will be made using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) selection process. Award may be made on initial quotations. Therefore, each initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to contact quoters if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary. The LPTA process will proceed as follows: (1) Quotes may be removed from consideration for any of the following reasons: • Quotes that are not received timely • Quotes that fail to follow instructions • Quotes that fail to submit any required documentation • Quotes that have language inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the solicitation (2) Quotes will be ordered by price from lowest to highest. (3) The Government will then review Factor 1 and Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote. If the review finds that Factor 1 and Factor 2 of the lowest priced quote is acceptable, then that quote represents the best value to the Government and the technical evaluation process stops at this point. Contingent upon a subsequent determination of price reasonableness and of contractor responsibility by the Contracting Officer, an award will be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quoters. If the lowest quote is determined not to be acceptable for any reason, then the next lowest priced quote will receive an evaluation as described above. The process will continue (in order by price) until a quote from a responsible contractor is determined to be acceptable and priced fairly and reasonably. (4) Using this procedure, the Government might not evaluate all quotes. Each Factor will be evaluated as follows: Factor 1. Technical capability to meet the Government's Requirement Technical capability will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as follows: • Acceptable - Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation as follows: The item conforms to the salient characteristics outlined in Section 2.0; • Unacceptable - Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Factor 2. Past Performance Past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as follows: Acceptable - Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable - Based on the quoter's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort Note: In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown/neutral past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown/neutral" shall be considered "acceptable." Note: Quoters are not required or requested to submit past performance references. The Government will use public and Government-restricted sources (e.g. PPIRS) to evaluate past performance. Factor 3. Price Price will not be rated. Price analysis will be conducted to determine reasonableness. ---END OF HSTS05-17-Q-OTD531---
