DOCUMENTATION: Certified MEEC/Microsoft licenses documentation shall be provided for all licenses. WARRANTY: A standard commercial warranty shall be provided for the software and equipment. The Contractor shall extend to the Government the full coverage of any standard commercial warranty normally offered in a similar commercial sale, provided such warranty is available at no additional cost to the Government. Acceptance of the standard commercial warranty does not waive the Government's rights under the Inspection clause nor does it limit the Government's rights with regard to the other terms and conditions of this contract. The provision of FAR 52-212-1, Instruction to Offerors - Commercial Items and 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal, applies to this acquisition. The provision of FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. Any resulting order will be issued to the successful contractor offering the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. Factors that will be considered are Technical capability and price. Technical capabilities are significantly more important than price. Failure to provide the information relative to each evaluation factor may render offer non-responsive. 1) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: Technical capability will be based on product literature, technical features and/or warranty provisions. Each offeror is required to submit licensing (if applicable), descriptive literature, or other documentation, manufacturer or brand name and model of the item, and show how the offered product meets or exceeds the requirements as specified in the Specifications. 2) PRICE. Evaluation is based on best value including cost and ability to meet stated requirements above. Offerors shall submit descriptive literature and drawings detailing features, technical capabilities and warranty data. Technical acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted response to this provision as it compares to the minimum characteristics provided above. Therefore, it is essential that offerors provide sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for the Government evaluation team to make an adequate technical assessment of the quote as meeting technical acceptability.
