REQUIREMENT:� There are seven attachments to this RFQ: Attachment 1- Laptop Security�� 20 Cabinets Salient Characteristics, Attachment 2 - Laptop Security 10 Cabinets Salient Characteristics, Attachment 3 - Laptop Security 5 Cabinets Salient Characteristics, Attachment 4 - Quantities and Locations, Attachment 5 - Solicitation FA445224Q0015, Attachment 6 - RFQ Information Sheet, Attachment 7 - Brand Name Only Justification � Redacted.� A response to this request shall consist of completion of Attachment 6 (or a submitted quotation in contractor format as long as it, at a minimum, depicts unit and extended price (rounded to the nearest dollar),� applicable specifications, and delivery periods).� All products must be delivered prior to 30 September 2024.� The quotation must include a statement that delivery of required products will be on or before 30 September 2024.� 4. BASIS OF AWARD: Award will be made IAW FAR 13 procedures and the procedures specified in this RFQ, and on the basis of the lowest total aggregate price quotation that is technically acceptable.� The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) PO to the offeror who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.1, as supplemented, and whose quotation conforms to the RFQ�s requirements and is judged to represent the technically acceptable quotation with the lowest complete and reasonable price.� First, the Government will rank the quotations which conform to the RFQ�s requirements from lowest price to highest price.� Next, the Government will evaluate the lowest price offeror for technical acceptability as follows:�� Technically acceptable � quotation meets all the requirements, as outlined in Attachments 1 through 4.�� Technically unacceptable �quotation does not meet all the requirements, as outlined in Attachments 1 through 4.�� If the quotation with the lowest price is determined technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the offer�s total aggregate price for price completeness and reasonableness , as defined below.� If the lowest priced quotation is technically acceptable and the price is complete, reasonable, and balanced, then this offeror�s quotation represents the best value to the Government and award will be made to that offeror.� If the lowest priced quotation is not technically acceptable, the Government will consider the correction potential and may enter into interchanges with that offeror.� If, after interchanges with that offeror, their quotation is technically acceptable and remains the lowest price, the PO will be issued to that offeror.� If the Government deems the quotation not easily correctable, or if at any time it becomes other than the lowest priced quotation, the next lowest priced quotation will be evaluated for technically acceptability, followed by an analysis of their price to verify reasonableness, completeness, and balance.� Interchanges will take place as necessary or deemed appropriate by the Government.� This evaluation process will be repeated until reaching a technically acceptable quotation, or until all quotations are evaluated.� In order to determine price fair and reasonable, the evaluation process may continue until reaching two technically acceptable quotations (to establish price competition).� Applicable definitions are outlined below:�� Completeness � The quotation will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed.� The review will determine the adequacy of the offeror�s quotation in addressing and fulfilling the RFQ requirements.�� Reasonableness � For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business.� The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through adequate price competition outlined in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(i).� 5.� The Government intends to make award based on the initial quotation submissions without conducting interchanges.� Therefore, each quotation should contain the Offeror�s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.� However, the Government reserves the right to hold interchanges if, during the evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.� Interchanges are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the offerors that may address any aspect of the quotation and may or may not be documented in real time.� However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges using Interchange Notices (IN).� Responses to INs will be considered in making the award selection decision.� Interchanges may be conducted with one, some, or all offerors.� The Government is not required to conduct interchanges with any or all offerors responding to this RFQ.��� 6.� Quotations shall be submitted by email to angela.port@us.af.mil and hunter.ottensmeier@us.af.mil no later than 06 August 2024 at 12:00 PM Central Daylight Savings Time.� Any quotations received after the RFQ closing date and time may be considered �late� and may not be considered.�����
