How to Obtain Quote
Government customers should use the NASA SEWP Quote Request Tool to issue Requests for Quote, Requests for Information, and Market Research Requests and to support fair opportunity. Before issuing a formal request, DTS may provide general capability information, scope clarification, and assistance identifying appropriate Category C technical areas.
-
Define the mission or program objective, users, locations, required outcomes, technical scope, performance standards, security/privacy controls, Section 508 needs, period of performance, contract type, and evaluation criteria.
-
Confirm that the requirement is mission- or program-level and services-based. Identify any ancillary hardware or software and explain why it is integral and necessary to the services solution. Confirm that the anticipated order value complies with the applicable Category C order threshold.
-
Once NASA activates SEWP VI ordering and the applicable ordering tools, submit the request through the NASA SEWP Quote Request Tool. Select the appropriate Category C / Group C1 and include the statement of work, instructions, evaluation criteria, due date, and required attachments.
-
Request DTS pre-solicitation assistance. Before issuing a formal request, contact Tom Hanley at 301-606-4817 or thanley@dexteritech.com for general capability information, scope clarification, and assistance identifying the appropriate Category C technical areas.
-
For an active SEWP request, customers may provide the SEWP request number, agency, ordering office, due date, scope, place of performance, requested contract type, security requirements, and submission instructions. DTS will provide its formal response through the NASA-prescribed process.
-
Formal responses to requests issued through the NASA SEWP Quote Request Tool will be submitted through the Contract Holder Only Page. DTS will not provide a formal quote outside the required SEWP process unless expressly permitted by NASA procedures or by an authorized secure submission method identified by the ordering agency.
-
Evaluate quotes in accordance with agency procedures and FAR 16.505, make the best-value decision, and issue the order through the required SEWP process.
-
DTS will not begin performance, fulfillment, purchasing, or delivery until the NASA SEWP Program Management Office has processed the order, assigned a SEWP Control Number, and transmitted the processed order to DTS.
Fair Opportunity Clause
The following requirements are based on Section A.1.13 of the NASA SEWP VI Terms and Conditions. The executed DTS contract, applicable FAR provisions, and current NASA SEWP procedures control in the event of any inconsistency with this guide.
Contractors will be provided a fair opportunity at the individual order level as appropriate per FAR Part 16.505(b), including the SEWP RFQ tools. No documentation for the order selection is required to be submitted with the order. All such documentation is to be maintained by the issuing procurement office. The Contractor shall not market, quote or otherwise offer for sale, any IT Solutions not listed under this contract, until the said solutions are included in the SEWP database of record, and available to all Government end-users. If the Government issues a Request For Information (RFI) as part of market research, the Contractor may provide items not yet listed on their SEWP contract as part of a market research quote if:
-
all such items are clearly marked as not yet available on their SEWP contract; and
-
the contractor submits a technology refreshment request to add those products to their contract.
If the Government issues a Request For Quote (RFQ) or a Market Research Request (MRR), the Contractor may only respond with items available on their Contract and the price of each item shall be the no greater than the price in Attachment F SEWP database of record at the time the quote is issued. If the Contractor has insufficient items on their contract to fully respond to the Formal RFQ, the Contractor must respond with a No Bid.
Unless the RFQ specifically allows for partial quotes, the Contractor must respond fully to all requirements specified in the RFQ.
When submitting a quote to a government end-user, the contractor must clearly state the length of time the quote is valid. The contractor shall honor any order submitted within the stated time period of a quote.
When responding to an RFI or RFQ issued from the NASA SEWP RFQ on-line quoting system, the Contractor must respond as outlined in Attachment C: Contract Holder User Manual (CHUM).
Contract Holders are prohibited from using Government information posted on the NASA SEWP Contract Holder Only Page, such as RFQs, RFIs, etc., for purposes other than proposing on SEWP requirements. This includes Contract Holders providing third parties with SEWP information and requirements for the purpose of assisting companies, that are not SEWP Contract Holders, with providing unsolicited proposals to meet agency requirements already posted to the NASA SEWP RFQ on-line quoting system.
Ordering and Order Administration
-
The issuing Contracting Officer identifies the requirement, confirms scope, and provides fair opportunity in accordance with FAR 16.505 and agency procedures.
-
The customer posts the request using the NASA SEWP QRT or another method authorized by the SEWP Program Office for sensitive or classified requirements.
-
DTS submits its response through the NASA-prescribed process. Each quote identifies the validity period and applicable order-specific terms, assumptions, dependencies, licensing provisions, and service conditions.
-
The customer evaluates quotes and issues the order. The order is routed through the SEWP Program Office and assigned an SCN.
-
DTS acknowledges receipt of the NASA-processed order, confirms the authorized points of contact and schedule, and begins performance only after receiving the processed order bearing a SEWP Control Number.
-
DTS maintains order status, deliverables, acceptance, warranty, support, invoicing, and modification records in accordance with the contract and order.
-
If a customer sends an order directly to DTS before NASA SEWP processing, DTS will route the order through the required SEWP process and will not begin fulfillment until the processed order and SEWP Control Number are received.
Partial quotes: DTS will submit a complete response unless the Government request specifically permits partial quotes. If DTS cannot fully respond to a formal RFQ and partial quotes are not allowed, DTS will submit a No Bid.
Quote validity: Every DTS quote will state its validity period. DTS will honor an order submitted within the stated validity period, subject to the contract and quote terms.
Installation, Warranty, Technical Support, Software Support, and Post-Delivery Policies
Installation and Transition
Installation, configuration, integration, transition, migration, deployment, and decommissioning will be performed only when ordered. DTS will coordinate schedules, locations, site access, security, dependencies, Government-furnished resources, testing, acceptance, and transition activities with the ordering agency.
Basic Warranty
Applicable basic commercial or manufacturer warranty terms will be identified in each DTS quote and order. For ancillary products included in a Category C solution, DTS will coordinate applicable manufacturer or provider warranty claims, including diagnosis, return authorization, repair, replacement, or other available remedies. Order-specific warranty terms control.
Extended Warranty
Extended warranty coverage may be purchased at any time during the standard commercial warranty period, up to and including the end of that period. Extended-warranty packages may be invoiced and paid at the beginning of the extended-warranty period. At the Government’s discretion, monthly maintenance may be ordered during the warranty period in lieu of an extended-warranty package, subject to the contract and order terms.
Technical Support
Support hours, severity levels, response targets, restoration targets, escalation, reporting, and on-site or remote support will be established by the order. DTS will triage incidents, coordinate with providers, track actions, and communicate status through closure.
