DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE

Re:

Request For Best and Final Offer to Solicitation SSA-RFP-80-0253
(SSADARS Terminal Replacement) Resulting From re-opened discussions.

We have met with you and thoroughly discussed any deficiencies, ambiguities,
uncertainties or clarification required to permit your full understanding
of our requirements. Any differences in text, technical or pricing
positions have been aired and if not fully resolved (with confirmation
thereof), both parties have had adequate opportunity to convince the
other of the merits of their position.

Therefore, all revisions to the RFP (the Government's requirement) considered
appropriate and necessary to reflect our discussion (if not our agreement)
nave been issued. In any area where we have differed, your best and final
offer must explicitly identify your final position (i.e., "unchanged,"
"now changed," "complete compliance," with clear and complete supporting
information), since the acceptability of your proposal may be determined on
the basis of your best and final offer. It is particularly critical to you
if you are attempting to convince the Government of the merits of a position
which you have not previously documented, or a "changed" position. The
risk and burden of a documented and convincing compliance with our
requirements rest with you.

Any pricing changes proposed by you in this best and final response must
therefore be clear, complete and fully supported.

If there are no pricing changes and your proposal previously submitted is
being offered; as a minimum, provide the information identified at our
March 2, 1981 meeting.

The Government reserves the right to reject any proposal if data specified
above is not submitted with a revision, or if submitted, is inadequate to
establish the acceptability of the revised offer.

with this letter, negotiations have been concluded and you are hereby invited to submit to this Agency your firm's "best and final" offer in response to the above referenced Request For Proposal by no later than 3:00 P.., (local prevailing time), March 13, 1981. In order that your best and final offer may be properly identified, it is essential that the solicitation number and the due date be indicated on the outer wrappings. Band-carried offers may be brought to this office (Social Security Administration, Room 1219, Annex Building, Attn: Mr. Joseph Shehade, Baltimore, Maryland 21235). Mailed best and final offers must be sent to the address specified in the solicitation.

A request for "best and final offer" is not a request to merely confirm
or reconfirm prior offers, all offerors are free to revise their proposals,
including price, in response to this request.

No further discussions will be held and no information will be furnished until award has been made.

You are reminded that the provisions of the Late Proposal Clause of the RFP, Section II, Solicitation Instructions and Conditions, paragraph 1.7.(c), will apply to the best and final offers.

It is requested that you acknowledge that the date for acceptance by SSA. of your best and final offer will be for the period 60 days after SSA's receipt of your best and final offer.

Sincerely,

SMA-32 JShehade:bs 3/3/81
