The desired delivery date is 30 days after delivery of contract. The FOB point and inspection and acceptance location are destination. Offerors are advised that award for this solicitation shall be made in the aggregate (all or none). Technical literature, warranty details, and delivery schedule must be submitted for all products offered for the Government to perform a technical evaluation. No further request will be made to obtain required information and failure to submit may result in your offer being eliminated from award consideration. Award will be made relative to best overall value. Best value will be determined in accordance with FAR Clause 52.212-2, below. Offers must meet all minimum specifications, but offers which exceed minimums may be rated more favorably. The Government will not, however, pay an unreasonable amount for additional technical capability and will compare any additional capability to any additional price. Since the Government is interested in obtaining the best overall value, award may not go to the lowest overall price if any factors considered justify a higher price. Notwithstanding that technical capability is more important than price, should all offers appear equal, price will become the determining factor in the award decision. Solicitation responses must contain offeror???s prompt payment discount terms (if any), proposed delivery schedule, and warranty terms. The following provisions and clauses apply to this procurement: FAR 52.204-7, Central Contractor Registration; FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation???Commercial Items; (Jan 1999) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (in relative order of importance) (i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement; (ii) delivery schedule; (iii) price; (iv) warranty; and (v) past performance. All other evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. (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.
