Supply and delivery of six Ambulance Motor Vehicles for the U.S. Embassy Hanoi, Vietnam:
- Four (4) Sports Utility Ambulance Vehicles to transport personnel
- Two (2) Ambulance Vans
All interested sellers shall review the solicitation and offer equipment in accordance with the specifications provided in this document.
This acquisition will utilize the best value - tradeoff source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 52.212-2. In using the best value approach, the Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Government the confidence that it will meet or exceed the requirements affordably in a way that will be advantageous to the Government. Such offer may not necessarily be the one offering the lowest price or receiving the highest non-price rating.
For this solicitation, all evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price. Award may be made to the most highly qualified offeror:
- which is deemed responsible;
- whose offer conforms to the solicitation’s requirements; and
- whose offer is determined to provide the best value to the Government.
The Contracting Officer and Source Selection Authority (SSA) will determine what trade-off between the non-price factors and price promises the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.
