estimate (in calendar days) of the delivery timeframe (after receipt of order).
The delivery estimate presented in an offer in response to this RFP must be

1.13
Sample Printed Materials

Offerors
are requested to provide three (3) sample books in order for the Soma Umenye
Activity to evaluate their aesthetic appearance, professional layout, and
production, as further described in Section 1.14 and Section 7. If an Offeror
does not submit samples by the offer deadline, Chemonics reserves the right to
deem the offer “non-responsive” and thereby disqualified from consideration.

1.14
Basis for Award

The
award will be made to a responsible offeror whose offer follows the RFP
instructions, meets the eligibility requirements, and is determined via a
trade-off analysis to be the best value based on application of the following
evaluation criteria. The relative importance of each individual criterion is
indicated by the number of points below:

Technical
–
20 points: Responsiveness to the technical specifications and requirements
in Annex 1. In alignment with USAID Forward principles to strengthen local
capacity and encourage local solutions by investing in local
organizations, offerors must, to the extent feasible, work with local,
Rwandan partners. Offerors are therefore strongly encouraged to present
proposals for services which will be carried out entirely in Rwanda.
Design
Capabilities –
20 points: Based on three illustrative/sample publications submitted by
the offeror. Sample publications submitted by the offeror will be
evaluated based on their aesthetic appearance, professional layout, and
production.
Past
Performance –
15 points: Based on the offeror’s prior experience in implementing similar
activities. Offerors will be evaluated based on (1) references they
provide and (2) number of years they have been serving customers for this
type of printing.
Delivery
–
15 points: The speed of delivery.
Price
–
30 points: The overall cost presented in the offer.

Please
note that if there are significant deficiencies regarding responsiveness to the
requirements of this RFP, an offer may be deemed “non-responsive” and thereby
disqualified from consideration. Chemonics reserves the right to waive
immaterial deficiencies at its discretion.

Best-offer
quotations are requested. It is anticipated that award will be made solely on
the basis of these original proposals. However, Chemonics reserves the right to
conduct any of the following:

Chemonics
may conduct negotiations with and/or request clarifications from any
offeror prior to award.
While
preference will be given to offerors who can address the full technical
requirements of this RFP, Chemonics may issue a partial award or split the
award among various suppliers, if in the best interest of the Soma Umenye
Activity.
Chemonics
may cancel this RFP at any time.

Please
note that in submitting a response to this RFP, the offeror understands that
USAID is not a party to this solicitation and the offeror agrees that any
protest hereunder must be presented—in writing with full explanations—to the
Soma Umenye Activity for consideration, as USAID will not consider protests
regarding procurements carried out by implementing partners. Chemonics, at its
sole discretion, will make a final decision on the protest for this
procurement.

(B)
Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been

prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was
erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed

will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation.
However, the certification will be considered in connection with a
determination of the Offeror’s responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to
furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by
Chemonics may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information
of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed
by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award.
If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to other remedies available Chemonics,
Chemonics may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for
default.
