Consequently, Contractors are highly encouraged to offer their best quote in their initial submissions. However, the Government reserves the right to discuss submissions with any or all contractors submitting a quote if it is determined advantageous to the Government to do so. This statement is not to be construed to mean that the Government is obligated to conduct exchanges. A Contractor may be eliminated from consideration for award without further exchanges if its technical and/or pricing submissions are not among those Contractors considered most advantageous to the Government based on a best value determination. D. Submissions: The contractor shall submit its SAM.gov Unique ID number, business address, point of contact, email address and phone number. The contractor shall acknowledge all amendments to the solicitation that may be issued. Price/Delivery Schedule shall be submitted fully completed and error free.

In accordance with FAR 52.212-2(b), the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for the basic requirement.

Each of the parts shall be separate and complete so that evaluation of each part can be accomplished independently. Technical Capability This section must not contain any references to pricing and should be less than 10 pages in length. At the least, this should be a capabilities statement and resource information such as data concerning equipment, materials, subcontracts, should be included in so that offeror s understanding of the Scope of Work may be evaluated; however, any reference to pricing must not be included. Pricing information will be submitted in a separate document. The technical submission should address all parts of the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Pricing Information When submitting pricing information, the offeror will provide a fixed unit prices for the line items in the price schedule. The pricing should be all inclusive of the personnel and equipment required to perform the service in accordance with the PWS. For the Radiology Service pricing, the line item pricing should include the cost to both rent and launder those items as a single amount per item. Because rental is not included for the Dental Service items, it would not be included in that line item pricing. Do not add or change the line items in the schedule. This may cause the quote to be determined unresponsive and not evaluated. All quotes shall be sent electronically via email to: Anna Norcross, Contracting Officer anna.norcross@va.gov Award will be based upon a comparative evaluation of quotes in accordance with the Simplified Acquisition Procedures of FAR 13. Comparative evaluation is the side by side pairwise comparison of quotes based on factors resulting in a Contracting Officer decision for the quote most favorable to the Government.

The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is NOT requesting or accepting alternate quotations. The evaluation will consider the following: Technical The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation. Past Performance The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter s likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation s requirements as indicated by the quoter s record of past performance. The past performance evaluation may be based on the contracting officer s knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; Customer surveys, and past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis. Price The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line item prices, including all options. The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum.

This includes options under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this solicitation. Evaluation of options under FAR 52.217-8 will be accomplished by adding six months of the quoter's price for the last potential period of performance under this contract to the quoter's total price.  For example, if the contract includes option periods that are exercisable under FAR 52.217-9, the quoter's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, all option periods, and an additional six months of the last option period. Quoters must price only the base and option periods specified in the contract Line Item numbers (CLINs), and shall not submit a price for the potential six-month extension of services under FAR 52.217-8.
