Required Delivery Dates in Request for Quotes: Contractors shall pay special attention to the delivery dates required by the Request for Quotes. If the dates required cannot be met, the contractor may propose an alternate delivery schedule to be considered by the Government in its award decision in the event that no contractor can meet the date at a reasonable price. The contractor is required to meet the delivery date stated in the call unless there is a Government caused delay. Contractors are cautioned in regards to agreeing to the required date if they will be unable to deliver on schedule. Past performance will be used with emphasis on delivery and quality for awards against this BPA.

BPAs will be reviewed at a minimum on an annual basis to determine the need for the addition or deletion of vendors in order to ensure adequate competition and quality product delivery. The Government may add vendors based on market research, formal request for sources or other means as deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officers will award BPAs to sources whose past performance has shown them to be dependable and who offer good quality supplies at consistently competitive prices.

The Government will remove BPA holders based on past performance in the areas of adherence to required delivery schedules and ability to provide quality supplies at consistently competitive prices. Vendors may be removed based on multiple instances of delivering poor quality products, consistently late deliveries and having prices significantly higher than other offerors on a consistent basis. In addition offerors proposing on less than 25% of the competitions for which they are eligible may be removed from the BPA to reduce the administrative costs to the Government of maintaining and reviewing the BPAs on an annual basis.

It is the intent of the Government to meet the competitive requirements for requirements up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold by either rotating the business among qualified suppliers or competing requirements among the BPA holders for those requirements over the micro-purchase threshold. For each requirement exceeding the micro-purchase threshold the Government will solicit quotes from the applicable BPA holders and evaluate for award based on past performance and price. The Government reserves the right to conduct a trade-off analysis and award to the higher priced responsible Offeror with a better record of past performance if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. The Government may award to the responsible Offeror based on a low-price technically acceptable evaluation if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. Each individual request for quote for a call will outline the method for evaluation of quotes.
