To be rated technically acceptable, the Offeror shall demonstrate the ability to provide exactly 13,333 Wiley-EPIC DiSC credits, Product Number W-800, or the brand-name product identified in the solicitation; provide authentic Wiley-EPIC DiSC credits obtained through authorized commercial channels; allocate the credits to the existing USCG-LDC Wiley-EPIC administrator account within 5 business days after award; provide written confirmation of allocation; and provide standard commercial administrative support for credit allocation, credit balance discrepancies, and credit distribution issues, with response to Government support requests within 1 business day.

A quote must comply in all aspects with the requirements and conditions set forth in this RFQ; a quote must meet or exceed all mandatory RFQ requirements. If an Offeror takes exception to any of the terms and conditions of the RFQ or fails to meet any of the requirements of the RFQ, then the Government may consider the quote unacceptable

A Firm-Fixed Price contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose offer fully conforms to this solicitation and is determined to be the most advantageous, considering price and other factors. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

The anticipated award date is 10 days after solicitation closing date. Only one purchase order is anticipated resulting from this RFQ, however the Government reserves the right to withdraw, modify, or eliminate various aspects of the requirement determined to be too costly or impractical prior to award.
