- Statement of Work Request for quote This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This synopsis solicitation documents and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-37 dated 14 October 2009, DFARS change notice 20091123, and Air Force Acquisition Circular 2009-1030. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ), reference number LGCAD-5-0214. Submission of written quotes must be in accordance with FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, Commercial Items. Verbal offers will not be accepted. The 802nd CONS will issue a purchase order to the vendor who is determined to offer the best value to the Government. The technically acceptable, lowest priced quote will be determined to represent the best value. Technical acceptability will be determined by an evaluation of the quoted requirements that meet the technical criteria that is contained in the solicited item description. If the lowest priced submission does not meet the technical criteria described in the solicited item description, the government reserves the right to evaluate the next lowest priced submissions until it has determined a technically acceptable submission. The evaluation will stop at the point when the government determines an offeror to be technically acceptable with the lowest evaluated price, because that offer will represent the best value. Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility, award will be made to that offeror without further evaluation of other offers. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose quote is the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable quotes. The government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors/quoters. The government however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

To qualify as technically acceptable, the proposed product must meet the brand name description for each contract line item. If proposing an equal product in lieu of the brand name, the equal product must meet the salient characteristics listed in the solicitation for each line item to qualify as technically acceptable. The agency will first evaluate the lowest priced quote for technical acceptability. If that quote qualifies as technically acceptable, evaluation will stop at that point and that quote will receive award as that quote represents the best value. If the lowest priced quote does not garner a technically acceptable rating, the evaluation process will continue until the agency finds a technically acceptable quote at which point evaluation will stop and that quote will receive award as that quote represents the best value. The agency intends to award on initial quotes without conducting discussions but reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed necessary. 4.
