a. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:
(i) technical capability of the service quoted to meet the Government requirement;
(ii) price;
The lowest priced quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability and best value to the Government. If found technically acceptable and found to be the best value award will be made without further consideration. If found technically unacceptable the government will evaluate the next lowest quote for technical acceptability until award can be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable quoter. Past Performance will not be evaluated. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quote should contain the quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Quotes that fail to furnish required representations or information or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.
b. Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
c. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quoter's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
xiv. 5352.201-9101 ACC Ombudsman Oct 2019
a. An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from quoters, potential quoters, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.
b. Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).
c. If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Deputy Director of Contracting, AFICC /KC (OL-ACC), 114 Thompson Street,
Bldg 586, Room 129, Langley AFB, VA 23665, telephone (757) 764-5372 (DSN 574-5372) email: acc. a7k1@us.af.mil. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that
