It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to identify in their quotation any exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation. If the contractor does not include such a statement, the submission of a quotation in response to this solicitation will be regarded as the Contractor's acceptance of the Government's terms and conditions for inclusion into the resultant purchase order (PO). Note: This procurement is not being conducted under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program or another Government-Wide Area Contract (GWAC). If an Offeror submits a quotation based upon an FSS or GWAC contract, the Government will accept the proposed price. However, the terms and conditions stated herein will be included in any resultant purchase order, not the terms and conditions of the Offeror's FSS or GWAC contract, and the statement required above shall be included in the quotation. NAICS Code If the Offeror�s representations and certifications do not reflect the NAICS code governing this solicitation, Offerors must submit documentation that they are a small business under the NAICS code governing this solicitation. (End of provision FAR 52.212-1) (IX) Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services applies to this procurement. The evaluation criteria included in paragraph (a) of the provision are as follows: EVALUATION CRITERIA The Government intends to award a single firm fixed price purchase order (PO) from this solicitation utilizing simplified acquisitions procedures in accordance with FAR part 13. The Government reserves the right not to award a PO and to make an award without exchanges based solely upon initial quotes. Contractors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and price in response to this RFQ. Basis for Award: The Government will award a firm fixed price purchase order resulting from this solicitation once the Contractor is verified as responsible and the quotation conforming to the solicitation is found most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following evaluation criteria factors: 1) Technical Capability including warranty and 2) Price. Technical Capability is more important than price. As non-price factors become more equal among offerors, price may become the determining factor. An Offeror's failure to address any factor may be considered indicative of the Offeror's lack of understanding of the Government's requirements and may result in the offer being determined unacceptable. Once the government determines the apparent successful quoter, the government reserves the right to communicate with only that contractor to address any remaining issues, if necessary, and finalize a purchase order with that apparent successful quoter. These issues may include technical and price. If the parties cannot successfully address any remaining issues, as determined pertinent at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer, the government reserves the right to communicate with the next best-suited contractor based on the original analysis and address any remaining issues. Evaluation Factors: Factor 1- Technical Capability to include warranty: This procurement is for commercial items. Therefore, prototypes or demonstration models will not be accepted. Additionally, used or refurbished instruments will not be considered. Evaluation of technical capability shall be limited to the information provided in the quotation and will reflect the Government�s assessed level of confidence that the quoter will successfully perform the requirement. Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation of the vendor's demonstrated resources, capability, and methods to meet all requirements. This may include the authority to provide the required items (i.e. authorized dealer/seller/reseller), authority to provide maintenance and repair services, and the capability and method to successfully meet all the requirements in the statement of work. Quotations that do not demonstrate that the proposed equipment meets or exceeds all requirements will not be considered further for award. If an offeror�s technical description and/or product literature does not indicate whether its proposed equipment meets a certain minimum requirement, NIST will determine that it does not meet the requirement. Warranty - Evaluation of this factor is a subjective evaluation of the vendor submittals to determine the comprehensiveness of the warranty in terms of length, inclusions, response time for service inquire and response time for maintenance and repair services. Stronger consideration will be given to quotes that exceed the following minimum specification: Specification Submission Requirement Specifications, Line Item 0001-Item 1, Item 2, and minimum warranty of three (3) years Offeror shall state in quote response how this will exceed the minimum requirements of the Specifications Line Item 0001 and warranty being offered as requested in this RFQ. Evaluation Rating The evaluation of the non-price factor (Factors 1) may be done holistically with a rating scale of ""high confidence,"" ""some confidence,"" and ""low confidence,"" representing the Government�s confidence that the Quoter is technically capable. Confidence Ratings: High Confidence The Government has high confidence that the Quoter understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing with little or no Government intervention. Some Confidence The Government has some confidence that the Quoter understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing with some Government intervention. Low Confidence The Government has low confidence that the Quoter understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach or will be successful in performing even with Government intervention. All quotes shall be evaluated by the Department in accordance with the factors and criteria established above. Factor 2 - Price: The proposed price will be evaluated. The evaluation will determine whether the proposed prices are reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements. A price realism analysis will not be conducted. Prices must be proportionate with the technical portion of the quotation.

(f) If the Offeror selects ""is"" in paragraph (d)(1) and ""partial or no exemption"" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract. (g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts. For questions relating to the interpretation of the IRS regulations go to https://www.irs.gov/help/tax-law-questions.
