Interchanges may also be oral conversations between the Government and the Offerors. All applicable Provision/Clauses can be found in Attachment 1 � Provisions and Clauses and Attachment 2 � Additional Clauses. INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS: FAR 52.212-1 (Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services) (SEP 2023) Any inconsistency between FAR Provision 52.212-1 and the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 shall be solved by giving precedence to the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1. After receipt of quotes, the Government may, with or without notice, negotiate with and, if desired, seek quote revisions from as many or as few quoters as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate. The term �offeror� or �offer� as used in FAR 52.212-1 shall be understood to mean �quoter� and �quote,� respectively. Further, the term �award� shall be understood to describe the Government�s issuance of an order. The Government will consider all quotes that are timely received and may consider late quotes.�Failure of a quote to address any items required in the submission package may make a quote nonresponsive and unacceptable. Paragraph (b) of FAR Provision 52.212-1, Submission of Offers, is amended as follows: ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1 Technical Quote shall include a description of materials/equipment which includes specifications, and part numbers for items in the vendor�s proposed solution to which it intends to satisfy the results/objectives specified in the Statement of Objective (SOO) and the following: Period of Performance (PoP): 210 Days�(180 days or less lead time for materials and 30 days to complete the project) Proposed Technical Solution/Performance Work Statement IAW the SOO to clearly show the Offeror�s full understanding of the requirements.

Tha plan must demonstrate a commitment to providing maximum practicable opportunities for small business concerns. (See FAR 19.704 below for further instruction.) PRICE QUOTE - A DETAILED PRICE BREAKDOWN (MATERIALS, LABOR, EQUIPMENT, WARRANTY, ETC.) MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH THE QUOTE TO JUSTIFY THE TOTAL PRICE QUOTED.� A listing of materials, labor hours, equipment, etc. must be included to indicate offeror�s full understanding of the requirements in accordance with (IAW) the Statement of Objectives. Offers/Quotes must include completed copy of provision at FAR 52.212-3 (Offeror Representations and Certifications � Commercial Items) (MAY 2024) EVALUATION:�ADDENDUM TO FAR 52-212-2 EVALUATION�COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Nov 2021) Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following: 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. Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) offer. The following factor(s) shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Capability: items meet the Government requirement/specifications in the description. If all requested information in FAR 52.212-1 is not provided or does not meet the requirements identified, the Government may determine the quote to be nonresponsive, therefore, technically unacceptable. Price:� submit a detailed breakdown of price showing ALL equipment to be installed and materials, labor, warranty, tools, shipping, ALL direct and indirect costs to complete the requirement IAW the SOO. 2.1 The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability first. The Government will evaluate quotes for acceptability but will not rank the quotes by non-price factors. If the Government receives fewer than three (3) quotes, all quotes will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more quotes, the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced quotes to evaluate for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional quotes for technical acceptability if it is in the Government�s best interest to do so. 2.2 Price will be evaluated for reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Some of those techniques are, but not limited to, comparison of quoted prices received in response to the solicitation and/or comparison of quoted prices with the Independent Government Estimate. Prices must be determined fair and reasonable. 2.3 No additional information from the offeror will be required if the price is based on adequate price competition. In the event adequate price competition does not exist, the contracting officer will obtain information from the offeror to the extent required to determine the reasonableness of the offered prices.
