Basis for Award
The Government intends to award a single FFP contract to the responsible offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the Government, considering Technical Acceptability, Delivery, Price, and Subcontracting Plan (if applicable). Award may be made without discussions, but the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if in its best interest.
2. Evaluation Factors
• Factor 1 – Technical Acceptability: Must provide NI brand-name hardware/software and all services as described in CLINs 0001–0006. Non-brand products will be unacceptable.
• Factor 2 – Delivery: Must confirm delivery within 180 Days ARO. Earlier delivery may be evaluated more favorably.
• Factor 3 – Price: Evaluated for reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3.
• Factor 4 – Subcontracting Plan (if applicable): Large businesses must submit an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan per FAR 19.702 and FAR 52.219-9. Failure to provide a plan renders the offeror ineligible for award.
Subcontracting Plan Requirement
Because the estimated value exceeds $750,000, the apparent successful offeror must submit an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan if the awardee is a large business (FAR 19.702/19.705-2).
• If award is to a small business, no plan is required.
• If no subcontracting opportunities exist, the offeror must provide the memo required by FAR 19.705-2(c).
Instructions to Offerors
Quotes shall include:
• Technical Volume: Confirmation that all required brand-name NI items will be supplied. Must include proof of authorized NI distributor status.
• Price Volume: Firm Fixed Price quotation with CLIN breakout as listed above.
• Reps & Certs: Completed FAR 52.212-3 or confirmation of active SAM registration.
• Subcontracting Plan: If large business, provide plan per FAR 19.704.
