FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (OCT 2000) is incorporated by reference and applies to this acquisition. OFFERORS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PROVISION. The provision at 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items (JAN 1999) does not apply to this acquisition. Instead, the following information will be used for evaluation of offerors. Offerors shall sprovide price quotes for both (A) repair and (B) overhaul prices for each item listed above for a base year and for four twelve-month option periods. In developing your proposals and for evaluation purposes, all offerors will propose based on three overhauls and six repairs for each item over the twelve-month period. These calculations will be used to determine the total evaluation price and the contract ceiling value; however, the government may order any quantity of the items in the contract so long as it does not exceed the ceiling value. The Government does not guarantee these repair/overhaul numbers in execution of the contract. An award shall be made to that responsible offeror submitting a technically acceptable proposal for all (or otherwise largest number) of the 13 item instruments listed above and offering the lowest evaluated price based on the prices submitted on the above government-provided guidelines. The evaluated price will be calculated as the total price for both repair and overhaul prices for the base year and four option years. Price shall be the deciding factor among technically acceptable proposals. To be technically acceptable, the offeror's technical proposal must be evaluated as technically acceptable for each of the requirements listed in this solicitation. Technical acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted in response to this provision. THEREFORE, IT IS INCUMBENT ON THE OFFEROR TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT TECHNICAL LITERATURE, DOCUMENTATION, ETC. IN ORDER FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE AN ADEQUATE TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSAL. The offeror should provide any necessary backup information supporting the price offered; e.g. a copy of current catalog invoices for the same equipment, etc. The Government reserves the right to make additional awards for any items in this solicitation not awarded in a first award. The same methodology used for the first award will be used to make additional awards for all remaining items, if any. 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. Each offeror shall include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial (OCT 2000) with its proposal (http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vffar1.htm).
