However, the price will be evaluated on a quantity of 300 units for each year. Federal Acquisition Regulation-52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items, (Jan 2004): Multiple Offers are discouraged. Offerors shall submit a combined technical/business proposal. An original and four (4) written copies and (2) two CD-ROM copies of the proposal are required. Proposals shall be prepared using "Arial" or "Times New Roman" 11-point font style on 8 1/2 x 11 inch white paper. Tables and illustrations may use a reduced font style, not less than 8 points. Foldouts are not allowed. All material submitted may be single-spaced. Offerors should ensure that each page provides identification of the submitting Offeror in the header or footer. Page count for the combined technical/business proposal shall not exceed 35 total pages. Supporting documentation, product literature, commercial technical manuals with parts listing may be submitted on a CD-ROM, appropriately referenced in the written proposal, and compatible with Microsoft Office applications. Sealed offers for the items to be provided shall be hand-carried or express mailed via UPS or Federal Express to the following location by 2:00PM (EST) 02 May 2005: COMMANDER, Attn: Mrs. Gabrielle Trickett, CTQ, MARCORSYSCOM, 2200 Lester Street, VA, 22314-5010. NOTE: Offerors are advised that proposals sent by conventional US Mail service are not routed directly to the above address. FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Jan 1999). Evaluation Factors: Operational Effectiveness – Describe your ability to currently meet the performance requirements stated in the Performance Specification for the RPS. Key features to address include Technical Compliance with Specification, Ruggedization, Size and Weight, and Additional (Value) Features. Supportability - Key Supportability issues to address include Durability, Technical Data, and Warranty. Address any specific commercial or extended warranty provisions for the product. Past Performance - Provide specific examples of favorable recent past performance that illustrates evidence of your ability to produce, deliver, and warrant your product. Ensure the past performance information includes names of technical and contracting officials, telephone numbers, addresses, e-mail, name of the product purchased, quantities, dates of the resulting contract, contract value, contract number and a description of the items procured. Relative Order of Importance: (i) Operational Effectiveness - Most important. (ii) Supportability – Next in importance. (iii) Past Performance - Less important. Price - Evaluated, but not rated. Award shall be made to the offeror whose proposal presents the best value to the Government. In making its "Best Value" determination, the Government will consider overall technical, supportability, and past performance merit to be of significantly greater importance than evaluated price. However, the importance of price as a factor in the final determination will increase with the degree of equality in the overall merits of the proposals. Failure to meet each and every requirement will not automatically disqualify an offeror from consideration for contract award. The government will utilize the PS to evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of each offeror's technical solution. Value Added features, as listed by the Government or proposed by the offeror will be factored in. 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. FAR Clauses: 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications, (Beginning January 1, 2005, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) will require the use of the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in Federal solicitations as a part of the proposal submission process. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the FAR required representations and certifications previously found in solicitations. With ORCA, you now have the ability to enter and maintain your representation and certification information, at your convenience, via the Internet at http://orca.bpn.gov. In addition, rather than receiving and reviewing paper submissions, government contracting officials can access ORCA and review your information online as a part of the proposal evaluation process. You will no longer have to submit representations and certifications completed in ORCA with each offer. Instead, a solicitation will contain a single provision that will allow you to either certify that all of your representations and certifications in ORCA are current, complete and accurate as of the date of your signature, or list any changes. To prepare for this requirement and to register in ORCA, you will need to have two items: an active Central Contractor Registration (CCR) record and a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) identified in that CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your company’s ID and password into ORCA. (Visit www.ccr.gov for more information on creating and entering your MPIN).The basic information provided in your CCR record is used to pre-populate a number of fields in ORCA. Vendors are reminded to protect their MPIN from unauthorized use. Once in ORCA you will be asked to review pertinent information pre-populated from CCR, provide a point of contact, and answer a questionnaire that contains up to 26 questions. The questionnaire is to help you gather information you need for the clauses. The questionnaire is not the official version. Be sure to read the provisions carefully. The answers you provide are then automatically entered into the actual FAR provisions. You are required to review your information, as inserted, in context of the full-text provisions for accuracy; acknowledge three additional read only provisions; and click a time/date stamp before final submission. You will need to review and/or update your ORCA record when necessary, but at least annually in order to maintain its active status. Detailed information regarding ORCA, how to submit your record, and whom to call for assistance can be found on ORCAs homepage at http://orca.bpn.gov under Help). 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, 52.212-5,Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders within this clause, the following clauses apply; 52.222-21, Prohibition of Segregated Facilities, 52.222-26 Equal Opportunity, 52.222-35, Affirmative Action for Disabled Veterans and Vietnam Era, 52.222-36 Affirmative Action for Workers with Disabilities, 52.222-37 Employment Reports on Disabled Veterans and Veterans of the Vietnam Era, 52.222-19 Child Labor--Cooperation with Authorities and Remedies, 52.225-13 Restriction on Certain Foreign Purchases, 52.232-33 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer --Central Contractor Registration, 52.232-18-Availability of Funds. 52.247-34, F.O.B.
