Pricing for Dome Tents to FEMA Hawaii DC Item Unit Unit Price Unit Transportation Charge Extended Unit Price Total Price for 2,208 units camp/sleeping bag pads EACH............ Delivery terms shall be FOB Destination.

The vendor shall also be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. V. Evaluation GSA will evaluate each quote using the following non-price factors: - Technical Conformance - Delivery Time - Past Performance - Capacity GSA intends to evaluate Delivery Time, Past Performance, and Capacity in response to this RFQ using a color coding system. The color key is as follows: Color Rating Definition: Blue - Exceptional: Exceeds the Government's minimum evaluation standards; has high probability of satisfying the requirement; and has no significant weaknesses. Green - Acceptable: Meets all of the Government's minimum evaluation standards; has a good probability of satisfying the requirement; and any weaknesses can be readily corrected. Red - Unacceptable: Fails to meet all minimum evaluation standards; require major revisions to the quote to make it acceptable. GSA will evaluate quotes and make a best value determination based on the evaluation of price and non-price factors. Price will be considered and evaluated in determining the overall best value to the Government. The non-price factors are more important than price. As the non-price factors of the quotes become more equal, price becomes the determining factor. Technical Conformance: GSA must be assured that the camp/sleeping bag pads offered in the quote meet all requirements in the RFQ. Therefore, technical conformance will be evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis. Quotes that meet the technical conformance requirement will then be evaluated for delivery time, past performance, capacity, and price. Delivery Time: All camp/sleeping bag pads units shall be delivered to the FEMA Hawaii DC no later than 30 after issuance of order or best alternative. To ensure delivery schedules are maintained, delivery tracking capability will be required by the Government. Past Performance: The vendor's past performance information will be verified by contacting provided references, as deemed necessary by the Government and evaluated based on the relevance of the information submitted. Vendors must verify contact information prior to quote submission. The quote shall include a list of two projects, completed within the past three years with either the Federal Government or commercial customers that demonstrate work similar to the type of work described in the RFQ. In rating this factor, GSA will consider the relevance in size and scope of each project listed. For each project listed, provide the following: - Short description of the work performed - Client name and point of contact familiar with vendor's performance (include name, telephone number, address, and email address) - Period of performance - Annual and total dollar amount of purchases Capacity: The vendor shall describe its capacity to provide 2,208 units of technically acceptable camp/sleeping bag pads by no later than 30 after issuance of order or best alternative. Price: Total price includes any applicable delivery costs to the FEMA Hawaii DC. VI. Selection and Award Technical Conformance will be based on a pass/fail evaluation. Quotes that are found to technically conform will be evaluated for delivery time, past performance, capacity, and price. The vendor's ability to meet the delivery schedule is the most significant factor. Past Performance and Capacity are of equal importance to one another and, when combined, are of equal importance to the proposed delivery schedule. When combined, the non-price factors are more important than price. However, the offered price will be considered in the overall best value determination. The vendor whose quote conforms to the requirements outlined in this RFQ and are most advantageous to the Government based on the best value determination will be awarded. VII.
