Technical Quotation: A quotation that conforms to the solicitation's requirements with an explanation of how your firm intends to satisfy the requirements of required maintenance. The quote shall provide sufficient information and supporting data to address how the quote meets the required maintenance. NOTE: Statements that the offeror understands, can or will comply with all specifications, or statements paraphrasing the specifications of parts thereof, or phrases such as ""standard procedures will be used"" or ""well known techniques will be used: will be considered insufficient. Insufficient explanations of how your company will comply with the above of this solicitation may cause your offer to be deemed not technically acceptable. 2. Price Quotation: A unit price (with extended amount) for each line item. 3. Quotations are due by January 20, 2020, 10:00 AM, EST and submitted via e-mail to christopher.fisher@nih.gov. Send questions, via e-mail, to the Contract Specialist no later than January 15, 5:00 PM EST. PART 12 � GENERAL EVALUATION INFORMATION � ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 � The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter �whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Evaluation Factors � Listed in order of importance: � Service to be provided by an OEM trained service engineer with a minimum of 5 years-experience Onsite response time, 96 hours from first contact Manufacturer specified parts Unlimited emergency/repair visits 2 PM�s per year � Rating Methods � Technical Factors: One of the following ratings will be assigned: RATING DEFINITION Exceptional (E) Exceeds specified minimum performance or capability requirements in a way beneficial to the government; proposal must have one or more strengths and no deficiencies to receive an exceptional. Acceptable (A) Meets specified minimum performance or capability requirements delineated in the Request for Proposal; proposal rated Acceptable must have no major deficiencies but may have one or more strengths. Marginal (M) Does not clearly meet some specified minimum performance or capability requirements delineated in the Request for Proposal, but these weaknesses may be correctable. Unacceptable (U) Fails to meet specified minimum performance or capability requirements; proposal has one or more deficiencies.� Proposals with an unacceptable rating are not awardable. Past Performance Factor: Relevancy and Performance Assessment:� � One of the following Relevancy ratings will be assigned: PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Relevant Present/past performance effort involved much of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant Present/past performance effort did not involve any of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The combination of relevancy and recency, and performance documented by the information collected by the Government, will result in one of the following ratings: PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror�s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror�s performance record is unknown (See note below.) No Confidence Based on the offeror�s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.� Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance and in the context of acceptability/unacceptability, �unknown� shall be considered �acceptable.� � Price: The Government anticipates that adequate price competition will establish a fair and reasonable price.� However, if the Government does not receive adequate price competition, it will evaluate price quotations to ensure price reasonableness of the services being provided to the Government, considering the specific terms and conditions and relevant commercial practices. The government intends to issue a Purchase Order without discussions. The government reserves the right to enter into discussions if an unacceptable quote can be made acceptable.
