The Government will award a fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, which may not necessarily be the quote offering the lowest price nor the highest technical advantage.

FAR 15.101-2 6. The Government may elect to conduct clarifications and/ or communications with offerors whose quotes are technically acceptable (or which may be expected to be made acceptable by moderate modification). The Government reserves the right, however, to award a contract based on initial offers without conducting clarifications and/ or communications. Therefore, each quote should be submitted in the most favorable terms, from a price and technical standpoint. See FAR 9.104-1. 7. Price and other factors: The evaluation factors are: A) Quotes will be evaluated against the technical capability of the product offered to meet the Government requirement. B) Price: Quotes must be based on F.O.B. Destination. Offerors are encouraged to provide discounts in their pricing. The Government will evaluate prices offered for reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a) � Basis for Award, C) Past performance. 8.

USDA-ARS is Tax Exempt. See attached Tax Exemption Certificate: 720564834F. GSA discounts: The USDA is requesting that schedule contractors extend additional discounts to the USDA when making responses to this solicitation. GSA contract schedule holders are able to offer one-time discounts from established Schedule contracts. Schedule contractors can give one buying member a discount without passing the discount on to the entire federal government. This provision allows the contractor to offer and the government to avail itself of spot pricing in the commercial market. Depending upon funding availability: Due to the complexity of government contracting we may not have funding available for this project.
