(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately. (f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers. (1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. 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. (ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(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.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. 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.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Award will be made on a competitive basis using the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) approach. Evaluation will be made to identify all offerors whose quotes are technically acceptable in accordance with the Government s requirements and the evaluation criteria. Award will be made to the offeror from the pool of technically acceptable proposals, whose cost/price is lowest. The government shall evaluate information based on the following evaluation criteria: Factor 1 Technical Capability: Technical capability is defined as an offeror s ability to satisfy the solicitation s requirements, providing the highest quality service to the specified facilities. Contractor shall provide a maximum 10-page capability statement demonstrating it has trained personnel, equipment, and working experience and ability to meet all the requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW). Technical Proficiency: The Contractor will be evaluated on its ability to: 1) Demonstrate a clear understanding of the work to be performed; 2) Meet the Government s objective; 3) Perform the tasks and deliverables of the SOW within the period of performance; 4) Deliver key personnel that meets the SOW s qualification requirements. Offeror shall submit a proposal that verifies it is a firm that specializes in on-site surgical instrument sharpening and repair services. The proposal shall be comprehensive and demonstrates its understanding of the requirement and not a copy and paste of the Statement of Work requirements. It shall outline the contractor s ability to perform the services adequately and satisfactorily in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW) and the extent to which potential risks are identified and mitigated. Contractor Experience: The Government will evaluate the instances of past work experience for similar nature, scope, complexity, and difficulty to that which will be performed under the prospective contract contemplated by this solicitation, assessing the likelihood that the Offeror s relevant experience will minimize risk to the Government of unsuccessful performance. Offeror shall provide 2-3 instances of past work experience performed within the past five (5) years that are similar in nature, scope, complexity, and size to that which will be supplied under the prospective contract contemplated by this solicitation, to be evaluated for on-site surgical instrument sharpening and repair service experience. If the contractor does not have work of this complexity and size, then they shall provide up to 3 instances of experience of lesser complexity or magnitude to that required. Having no experience with work of similar nature will be considered a high-risk factor in evaluation. Factor 2 Past performance: The Government will evaluate the quality of the offeror's past performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this RFQ. The Government will use information submitted by the offeror and any other sources of information available to assess past performance. Offeror must provide 2-3 references for contract of similar scope and magnitude within the last three (3) years from the issue date of this RFQ or currently being performed to be evaluated. Relevant past performance information shall include key personnel who have relevant experience, predecessor companies, and subcontractors who will perform major or critical elements of this solicitation. The offeror s Past Performance shall also be reviewed in Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Individuals with no past performance shall receive a neutral rating for this evaluation factor. Factor 3 Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line item prices, including all options. Offeror shall provide a completed price/cost schedule. The government will evaluate offers for award purposes based on the pricing for the total requirement. Offers for partial requirement will not be evaluated and will be deemed non-responsive upon receipt. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) 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. FAR 52.212-3, Offerors Representations and Certifications Commercial Products and Commercial Services Offerors must complete annual representations and certifications electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) website located at https://www.sam.gov/portal in accordance with FAR 52.212-3, Offerors Representations and Certifications Commercial Products and Commercial Services.
