Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is Attachment 2, a tailored provision for FAR 52.212-2, "Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services." It outlines the basis for award and the factors that will be used to evaluate quotations for this solicitation.

• Basis for Award: The Government will issue a purchase order to the responsible quoter whose quotation is most advantageous, considering price and other factors.
• Evaluation Factors: Quotations will be evaluated based on:
  1. Price
  2. Technical or Quality
  3. Veterans' Involvement
  4. Speed of Delivery
• Evaluation Approach: A comparative evaluation process will be used, comparing quotations to determine the best benefit to the Government. The Government may select a quotation that exceeds minimum requirements. Alternate quotations are not accepted.
• Technical or Quality: Evaluation will assess how well the quotation meets or exceeds Government requirements. Authorized distributors must provide an OEM authorization letter.
• Veterans' Involvement: Evaluation credit will be assigned for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) prime contractors. For subcontractors, the SDVOSB/VOSB must be registered and verified in the VIP database at the time of quotation submission and award, and meet federal small business size standards. Non-SDVOSB/VOSB quoters using SDVOSBs or VOSBs as subcontractors will receive consideration. Quoters must identify intended SDVOSBs/VOSBs, describe proposed subcontracts, and state approximate dollar values.
• Price: Evaluated by the total of all line-item prices.
• Speed of Delivery: Evaluated based on the estimated delivery date and speed.

This attachment is critical for bidders as it details the specific criteria and methodology the Government will use to evaluate their quotations. Understanding these factors and how they are weighted is essential for preparing a competitive proposal. Bidders must pay close attention to the requirements for technical merit, veteran involvement (including registration and documentation), pricing, and delivery speed. Failure to meet minimum requirements or provide necessary documentation for veteran involvement could negatively impact evaluation.
