BASIS FOR AWARD: This is a lowest priced technically acceptable competition. Award of a Purchase Order (PO) will be dependent on the Government determining the Contractor to be responsible, the quotation to be technically acceptable, and the price to be fair and reasonable. Technical acceptability is defined as providing the Government the services being requested as set forth in the attached PWS.

The USCG shall examine Offerors for a determination of responsibility. This may be performed by utilizing the CPARS/PPIRS systems, and other reasonable methods of determining responsibility. Contractors who cannot be determined to be responsible may not be eligible for award. It is DHS policy that determination of a fair and reasonable price should be based on adequate price competition.

QUOTATION CONTENTS: The Government will evaluate the submitted quote using a lowest-priced technically acceptable method as follows:

TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY: The Government shall select the lowest priced offeror and evaluate that for technical acceptability. If it is found to be technically acceptable no other offers shall be evaluated. If the lowest-priced offer is found to be technically unacceptable, the Government shall evaluate the second-lowest priced offer. Etc. In this way it is possible that not all quotes submitted shall be evaluated.

Technical acceptability shall be determined by examining the quoted services to ensure that the Contractor can provide the support as set forth in the PWS. Further, the USCG reserves wide discretion on determining technical acceptability.

Therefore, in order to determine whether your company is technically acceptable, your quote shall have to include additional information (such as any other documentation your company feels will be helpful in ensuring they are technical acceptable).

RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINATION: In order to be considered acceptable, your company must be listed in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov). Those who provide quotes but are not listed in the System for Award Management shall be considered technically unacceptable and not eligible for award. Please provide your Cage Code, Tax ID Number and DUNS number in your quote so the Government can confirm your entry in the System for Award Management (as well as other systems [if used, as this shall be optional by the discretion of the Government] such as CPARS to check responsibility). If your company cannot be determined to be responsible then you may not be eligible for award.

PRICE: The Government will evaluate the total overall price to determine price fairness and reasonableness.

The USCG does NOT plan on sending out unsuccessful Offeror letters at this time for this procurement. If your company would like to be informed of this information, please provide it in the body of the email in the text. Otherwise, the USCG does not plan on sending out unsuccessful Offeror letters.
