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)(i) 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 of offers; or (C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. (5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.

Therefore, 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. 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. (h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations.

(End of provision) Section M � Evaluation Factors for Award 52.212-2�� EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021) (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: Factor 1: Ballistic Performance/Material Data Basis for evaluation: Factor 1 will be evaluated as an overall factor with two subfactors. The Government will evaluate the degree to which the Offeror's approach conforms to the Attachment J-1, Purchase Description, Body Armor, NTV NQ/PD 23-01, Attachment J-2 NTV Quality Assurance Letter of Instruction (QALI), Attachment J-3 Statement of Work/Performance Work Statement, and Exhibit A Contract Data Requirements List. The Offeror shall provide ballistic material data in the sequence provided below. a.�� Ballistic Performance The Offeror shall provide ballistic test data relevant to the ballistic performance requirements of the SOW and Attachment J-1 NQ/PD23-01. All test data sheets shall originate from a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) certified lab. (1) Offeror shall provide NIJ certification letter for the ballistic package proposed for this solicitation (2) Offeror shall provide the test data sheets that support the NIJ certification. (3) Offeror shall provide test data sheets for V50, dry, zero-degree obliquity fragmentation threats per Appendix D of Attachment J-1 NQ/PD23-01. (4) Offeror shall provide other certifications to which the proposed NTV ballistic package has qualified. These certifications shall be on certifying organization's letter head. b.�� Ballistic Material The Offeror shall provide description of ballistic material from an ISO/ICE 17025 accredited laboratory in the sequence below. (1) Offeror shall provide the areal density of the ballistic filler measured without a cover in accordance with ASTM D3776, except units shall be expressed in lb/ft2. (2) Offeror shall provide thickness (thinness) of ballistic filler measured without a cover to the nearest 0.01 inch when measured under 0.5 psi when tested in accordance with ASTM D1777. (3) Offeror shall list material fiber types used in proposed ballistic package and where used (which layer). Factor 2: Manufacturing Capability Basis for evaluation: Factor 2 will be evaluated as an overall factor with no subfactors. The Offeror shall confirm their ability to produce 144 NTV (M and L variants) and 3 shoot packs and present to DCMA 60 days after contract award.� Offeror shall briefly describe production and quality assurance process to deliver a reliable product conforming to solicitation requirements. Factor 3: Price This effort is firm-fixed-price. As a result, the risk of price escalation is on the Contractor and not the Government. Therefore, the Government will not conduct a price realism analysis. The Government will only evaluate the total proposed price for reasonableness. To determine the total evaluated price, the Government will add the �Amount� column for all of the CLINs in Section B. The Government anticipates adequate price competition and adequate price competition typically establishes reasonableness. However, the Government reserves the right to use other methods to determine reasonableness, but is not obligated to do so. The Government may reject a price proposal if it is materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Factor 4: Past Performance Pass/Fail based on SPRS, CPARS, FAPIIS data. The Offeror�s shall submit a maximum of three past performance references including but not limited to prior similar, relevant historical from sales to Federal, State, or commercial entities. The Offeror shall provide a narrative or tailored capability statement limited to 5 pages. Factors 1 and 2 are equal in importance and when combined are more important than Factor 3, Price. However, as competing proposals approach technical equality, Factor 3, Price will increase in importance. Factor 4 will be evaluated as stand-alone. (b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
