THE PAGE LIMITATION FOR QUOTATION RESPONSES IS 20 PAGES.

Vendors MUST be registered and Active in the System for Award Management (SAM) system (www.SAM.gov) at the time of quotation submission, pursuant to FAR 52.204-7.

ATF will award to the responsible firm whose quote conforms to the RFQ and will be the most advantageous to the Government after an evaluation of technical capability, past performance, and price.

Technical capability will be evaluated by reviewing the vendors quote in relation to the requirements in the Statement of Work to confirm an understanding of the requirement to deliver fully assembled kits. All listed items are brand name or equal.  The Government will review any suggested equal or equivalent products.  To be reviewed, it is the contractor’s responsibility to provide product literature, product specifications, and information relating to safety standards in comparison to the specified item.  Safety standards may include, but aren’t limited to OSHA, ANSI, DLA, NAMSA, MIL-PRF, and others as applicable.  Cube, weight, and safety standards all play a critical part in evaluating a product. The Government will only evaluate equal or equivalent items that provide this information. The contractor shall demonstrate their proposed solution. Vendors that do not provide the required technical capability information will be determined non-responsive.

Past performance will be evaluated by the contractor providing a list of no more than five (5) of your most recent and relevant contracts. Only recent and relevant contracts will be evaluated or considered. Recent means contracts performed or completed within three years from the quotation due date. Relevant means similar in scope and complexity to the solicited work. The Government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on vendors based on the contracts provided by the vendor. The Government may seek, and consider in the evaluation, data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources, including databases such as CPARS. Contracts performed for the Department of Justice or other relevant Law Enforcement Agencies, depending on relevancy, may be considered more significant in the evaluation. The government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. Vendors that do not provide the required past performance information will be considered neutral for this factor.

Price will be evaluated by the firm fixed price provided by the contractor to include all services and shipping to complete the Statement of Work.

The selected vendor must comply with the following FAR commercial provisions and clauses, which are incorporated herein by reference: FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items, paragraph (a) and the following clauses in paragraph (b): 52.222-21, 52.222-26, 52.222-35, 52.222-36, 52.222-37, 52.225-13, 52.232-34.
