EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD:

Basis for Award: The Government intends to award a contract to the responsive,
responsible vendor, whose quote conforming to the RFQ is most advantageous to the
Government, price and other factors considered. Technical, price and past performance
factors will be used to evaluate quotes. The vendor must be registered in the System for
Award Management (SAM). The Government reserves the right to award no contract at
all, depending on the quality of quotes submitted and availability of funds.

Factor I – Technical: The Government will evaluate the quote to see if the following
specification requirements are met to include all information required for a complete
quote as defined in paragraph 2 above:
This requirement contains supplies that are Brand Name pursuant to FAR 11.105, Items
Peculiar to One Manufacturer. To be considered for award, the offeror is required to
certify that the product being offered is an original, new, and Trade Agreements Act
(TAA) compliant (reference 2(c) above) see Items 0001-0002. The Government will only
accept the required brand name product as specified in RFQ.

Factor II – Past Performance: The Government will evaluate past performance, by
reviewing sources that may include, but are not limited to, information from Government
personnel and information from sources such as the Federal Awardee Performance and
Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and data available in the statistical reporting
module of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) regarding the supplier's past
performance history for the Federal supply class (FSC) and product or service code (PSC)
of the supplies being purchased. In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant
past performance history, the supplier may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for
its past performance history.
Factor III – Price: The Government will evaluate the total price to determine if it is fair
and reasonable. The price quote shall include a unit price for each item and a total firm
fixed price for all line items. The total firm-fixed-price shall include all applicable taxes,
shipping, and handling costs to the shipping address listed above as outlined in
paragraph 3 above.
Technical capability and past performance, when combined, are more important than
price. Contractors who do not meet the first 2 factors will not undergo a price evaluation.
