Price, 2.) Technical Capability. The evaluation of these factors will utilize an award basis that results in an award to the lowest priced technically acceptable quotation. Quotes that do not meet the stated minimum technical specifications, will be deemed technically unacceptable, and therefore not considered for award. Finally, quotations that are incomplete and/or are determined to be priced unreasonably too high or too low, may not be selected for award. Therefore, quotations should contain the vendor's best terms, from a price, technical-specification, and past performance standpoint. Under the LPTA source selection process, trade-offs are not permitted, proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-price factors. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract without exchanges or communications and therefore, quotations should contain the vendor's best terms, from a price, technical-specification. (b) Evaluation: Evaluation factors required under 52.212-1 will be evaluated by the Government as follows; i. Price: To evaluate price reasonableness and affordability, an initial screening of quotations will be performed to compare pricing to both Government and commercial web-based databases, and with comparison to the Government's estimate, and in relation to the product quoted. Quotations that are determined to be priced unreasonably, as either too high or too low, may not be selected for award. ii. Technical: The government will evaluate technical proposals and the below listed sub-factors on a pass/fail-basis, assigning ratings of acceptable, or unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any of the below sub-factors will result in an unacceptable rating for this Technical Capability primary factor. Accordingly, under the LPTA source selection approach, vendors who receive an unacceptable rating for this factor, will not be considered for award. Technical Acceptability shall be evaluated against the following sub-factors: Technical ratings will be evaluated entailing a comparison of quoted specifications with relation to specifications of the government's requirements, and respective salient characteristics of each appliance type. If the associated specifications of any quoted item do not meet the Government's stated minimum specification, may result in a vendor's entire quotation being ineligible for award. The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards as a result of this solicitation, if the Government accepts any item, or group of items, of a quotation. Warranty information will be evaluated to evidence the terms of the manufacturer's warranty, also to assess if warranties represent the most favorable commercial terms afforded to any customer for such items, and if applicable, to determine if other quoted expressed warranty terms may represent best value. Quoted items that are not accompanied with any warranty information and respective terms, or are determined to not provide favorable terms with comparison to commercial market standards for such items, may be considered to represent either poor quality or poor value, and therefore, not selected for award. As a result of the government's evaluation of the aforementioned Technical Capability sub-factors of Transition Plans, Management Plans, Resources, and all associated elements accordingly, a determination of acceptable of unacceptable will be assigned using the following ratings and descriptions: Technical Capability Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. (c) Award Determination: As a result of the Government's aforementioned evaluation, only those vendors whose proposals are determined to be technically acceptable will be considered for award. Of those vendors found technically acceptable award will be made to the lowest priced offeror whose price is determined reasonable and affordable. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quotation, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quotation, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the vendor's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quotation (or part of a quotation), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items (Jun 2009) (a) The Contractor shall comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, which are incorporated in this contract by reference, to implement provisions of law or Executive orders applicable to acquisitions of commercial items: (1) 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons (FEB 2009) (22 U.S.C. 7104(g)).

(End of clause) In accordance with FAR 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations the following information is provided in regards to quotations. A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask thesupplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred. If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact one of the following: Primary point of contact: Contracting Specialist: Christopher Davalos TEL: 01638-52-2252 or EM: christopher.davalos@lakenheath.af.mil Secondary Point of contact: Contract Specialist: Benjamin Shelton TEL: 01638-52-2185 or EM: benjamin.shelton@lakenheath.af.mil
