I tried searching for this in the forum but couldn't find any relevant information, my apologies if I missed something. I am new to the community.
We were recently deemed unnacpetable based on points verification within our Technical Narrative writeup on a IDIQ. The Contracting Officer (KO) send an email with the notice stating that the agency was unable to verify 1,650 of of the 5,350 points within our Technical Narrative. Which put us below the 4,200 points required to continue in the process.
What I was mainly concered about was the fact that the KO referenced FAR 2.101 and FAR 3.104 in the Subject body saying see this specific clauses. FAR 3.104 is about Procurement Integrity. Now we are new to govnerment contracting and I'm not sure if the are intimating that we violated some kind of procurement activity either potentially or accidentally. But I'm assuming that would have been stated specifically in the denial letter they sent. Or would I be incorrect in that assumption?
At one point we did speak with one of the agencies Engineering Director's and discussed some potential solutions we had in mind for problems they expressed in a conference. He asked us to send a white paper on that. In the white paper we mentioned we were bidders on IDIQ, but our thought process was that we would have a potential contract vehicle in the future upon which we could take advantage of the white paper's proposed solutions. Maybe that was incorrect to do on our part, I'm not sure. Can anyone shed any light as to why they would reference that in the subject body, is that a fairly standard clause to reference?
Thank you
