- Description
- The purpose of this second amendment is to address an additional comment/question received with regard to solicitation requirements: Comment/Question: "It seems that there is a mistake in linearity of ratio requirements. There is no voltage divider in the market that can have that tight of linearityof ratio. It seems that it should be 0.5% instead of 0.005%." Answer: PD Specification 4.5 is actually conservative in nature. There does exist a voltage divider that has a tighter linearity of ration than 0.005%. This purpose of this amendment is to address questions specific to solicitation documents, as received from interested parties. Question 1: Does the Quoted Price need to include the cost of NMI Calibration (and related transport)? Or, do we quote the Dividers as Item 0001, and the NMI Calibration as Item 0002? Answer 1: The proposal price of the High Voltage Resistive Dividers needs to inlcude the cost of NMI Calibration and any related transport. Costs shall not be broken out as separate line items. Question 2: On Schedule B of the RFQ, Item 0002 specifies: A001 - Technical Manual Contract Requirements -One (1) copy each due no later than 180 days after contract award concurrent with delivery of each production unit. Answer 2: As the delivery date is specifically called out in multiple places, and, a single fiscal year's funding is being utilized, '180 days' is a firm requirement. Response date for proposals remains 6 June 2018, 2:00 PM EDT.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical; 2. Price. Award will be based on technical acceptability (acceptable or not acceptable) as defined in Table 1, and then lowest total evaluated price. Technical acceptability is more important than price. Factor 1: Technical The Government's technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals using an Acceptable/Unacceptable Technical Rating. Technical acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted in response to this request for quotation. Any subfactor evaluated as "Unacceptable" will render the entire proposal unawardable. Technical Tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. All offeror's shall provide with their proposal: descriptive literature, brochures, and a technical proposal response. Offerors must submit sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for the Government to make an adequate technical assessment of the proposed unit. The technical proposal response MUST include a written response to EACH paragraph of the purchase description, and provide sufficient supporting technical literature. Solely restating the paragraphs of the purchase description or limiting the response to a simple statement of compliance is not acceptable. Where the technical literature demonstrates that the proposed unit meets the requirement of a specific purchase description paragraph, you may reference that page and paragraph of the technical literature in your technical response in lieu of restating it. Table 1 Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the purchase description. Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the purchase description. Factor 2: Price The total evaluated price will be calculated as follows: (1) On the basic year, the evaluated price will be the unit price proposed multiplied by the specified unit quantity (e.g. 2 EACH). (3) The sum of all CLINs will represent the total evaluated price. FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items, with Alternate I.
