NOTE: The Offeror’s technical approach must clearly demonstrate that it meets the specification documents (attached).  Simply stating something to the effect that, “This proposal complies with or meets or exceeds the specification in the required documents” is not sufficient.  An Offeror that simply states something to this effect and does not provide the level of system details in its technical approach as required above will be considered technically unacceptable.

Note on Past Performance evaluation: The past performance evaluation assesses the Offeror’s ability to supply products and services that meet users’ needs, based on a demonstrated record of performance. The Government may consider past performance information contained in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). The Government may use other information such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other data available from Government sources to evaluate an Offeror’s past performance. The Government may also contact all or some of each Offeror’s customers to obtain past performance information. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact, and contact references other than those provided by the Offeror. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability “unknown” shall be considered neutral.

Notes:

1. Offerors MUST specify best delivery date possible in quote.
2. Any non-recurring engineering (NRE) or shipping costs shall be built into the prices of the units. There will NOT be separate CLINs for NRE or shipping.
3. This requirement contains drawings and parts lists that are designated as Distribution Statement D; therefore, they are export controlled. Distribution is authorized to the Department of Defense (DoD) and United States DoD contractors with a valid Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification. Only offerors with an active registration in JCP will be provided access to the technical specification drawings. In order to obtain access to the drawings and parts lists, the offeror’s JCP Custodian shall email michelle.e.weigert.civ@us.navy.mil and include the RFQ number, company name, CAGE code and copy of Form 2345. The request must be sent by the JCP Custodian; the drawings and parts lists will not be provided to any other points of contact. Once JCP certification and JCP custodian are confirmed, the Drawing will be sent to the JCP Custodian via DoD SAFE.
4. The Government intends to award a single FFP purchase order to the eligible, responsible offeror whose quote is the lowest price technically acceptable. In order to be determined technically acceptable, the offeror must quote the required item in the required quantities and meet the Government’s required technical specifications (see Applicable Documents). The Government will also consider past performance information in accordance with DFARS Provision 252.213-7000 where negative information within the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) may render a quote being deemed technically unacceptable.
5. In accordance with DFARS Clause 252.211-7003, the contractor shall provide a unique item identifier (UID) for all delivered items for which the Government’s unit acquisition cost is $5,000.00 or more.
6. The Government’s method of payment will be electronic payment via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).
