(b) Period for acceptance of offers. The Quoter agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation. (c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers. Quoters are responsible for submitting quotes and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. Any quote, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of quotes is late and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful quote that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted. If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotes cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotes by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of quotes will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. Quoters may withdraw their quotes by written notice to the Government received at any time before award. (d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with Quoters. Therefore, the Quoter’s initial offer should contain the Quoter’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest quote, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received. (e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Quoters, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable: The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Quoter’s quote. The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Quoter and the debriefed Quoter and past performance information on the debriefed Quoter.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations: Price Past Performance Veterans Involvement Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process outlined in RFO FAR 12.203(c)(2), where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation, but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations. The evaluation will consider the following: Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line item prices, including all options (if applicable). The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum. Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter’s likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by the quoter’s record of past performance. The past performance evaluation may be based on the contracting officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; Customer surveys, and past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis. Veterans Involvement: In accordance with Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 852.215-70 (DEVIATION), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Evaluation Factors, the Government will assign evaluation credit for a Quoter (i.e., prime contractor) which is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or a VOSB. To receive credit, an offeror must be registered and verified in the Small Business Administration Small Business Search database at the time of quotation submission and at the time of award (https://search.certifications.sba.gov/) and must meet federal small business size standards for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this solicitation. Non-SDVOSB/VOSB quotations that use SDVOSBs or VOSBs as subcontractors will receive some consideration under this evaluation Factor. Quoters must state in their quotations the names of the SDVOSBs and VOSBs with whom they intend to subcontract and provide a brief description of the proposed subcontracts and the approximate dollar values of the proposed subcontracts. In addition, the proposed subcontractors must be registered and verified in the Small Business Administration Small Business Search database (https://search.certifications.sba.gov/) and must meet federal small business size standards for the NAICS code assigned to this solicitation at the time of both quotation submission and at the time of award. Options. (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
