(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency.

In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability.

Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

The Government may award a contract resulting from this solicitation to a responsible offeror(s)

whose offer conforms to the solicitation, price and other factors considered. Offerors are

required to submit a price and technical quote. The following factors shall be used to evaluate

offer:

Price

Technical

1. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD This acquisition will be conducted using FAR Part 13.5,

FAR Part 12, and Appendix A of the Department of Defense (DOD) Source Selection

Procedures, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Source Selection Process as a guide.

This is a best value source selection where best value is expected to result from selection of the

technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price.

a. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

(1) Price. The price quotes will be evaluated but not rated. Offeror’s proposed prices will

be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Request for Quote (RFQ) by

the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to confirm to the

extended amounts for each CLIN. The individual CLINs will be totaled to determine the

offeror’s total proposed price. The offeror’s price quote will be evaluated to determine

completeness and reasonableness, as defined below.

(A) Completeness. The quote will be reviewed to determine the extent to which

cost elements have been addressed. The offeror’s price and other supporting

information will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the

technical quote and between initial quotes and any revisions thereto. The review

will determine the adequacy of the offeror’s quote in addressing and fulfilling the

solicitation requirements.

(B) Reasonableness. The quote will be reviewed to determine price

reasonableness.

(2) Technical. Technical quotes will be evaluated at the factor level on an

acceptable/unacceptable basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable as

defined below.

Acceptable – Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable – Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the

solicitation.

(A) Measures of merit for this factor are met when the offeror presents a solution

meeting all of the requirements specified in the Vehicle Specifications document

(See Attachment 1). Multiple Awards may result from this soliciation.

(B) Contractor Responsibility – To be eligible for award, the offeror must be

determined responsible as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

9.104-1. The Government reserves the right to obtain information relative to

present and past performance on its own.

(3) General Considerations – The quote must comply in all material respects with the

requirements of law, regulation and conditions set forth in the solicitation.

(4) The government intends to award a contract without discussions; however, the

government reserves the right to hold discussions. It should be noted that there is no

obligation on the part of the government to make an award to any offeror in response to

this RFQ.

(5) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to

the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in

a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified

expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not

there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received

before award.
