Please quote prices on the following basis: FCA 2010 - Supplier Dock (for international vendors) and
DDP (for local vendors) INCOTERM Basis. Quotations in response to this RFQ must be priced on a
fixed-price, all-inclusive basis, including delivery and all other costs. Pricing must be presented in US
dollars (for international vendors) and Nigerian naira (for local vendors). Offers must remain valid for
not less than ninety (90) calendar days after the offer deadline.
As part of the response to this RFQ, the Offerors shall provide an estimated lead time for the specified
quantity (in calendar weeks) for each item quoted. Lead time means the period between the receipt of
a firm order and the time when the goods are ready for delivery in accordance with the specified
INCOTERM or otherwise transferred to GHSC-PSM. The lead time estimate presented in an offer in
response to this RFQ must be upheld in the performance of any resulting contract and shall be listed as
the Goods Availability Date (GAD). In review of the foregoing, if GAD expressed at the time of
solicitation in a number of weeks from when PSM issues and award for fulfillment is not maintained
by the Supplier at the point of order placement, it will be taken into account in future evaluations as
part of past performance. Since meeting the GAD is of the essence of this award, if the Supplier fails
to deliver any or all the Goods within the period specified in an Order, GHSC-PSM may without
prejudice to all its other remedies under the IDIQ subcontract, deduct from the Order price, liquidated
damages in accordance with the liquidated damages clause.
The prices (unit prices and extended prices) specified in the offer, and any subsequent
agreement/purchase order, are firm, fixed, all-inclusive total unit prices covering performance of all
supplier obligations under the subcontract. No additional sums will be payable for any change or
escalation in the cost of materials, equipment, packaging or labor; the costs of cooperating with
sampling, testing, inspection and other quality assurance requirements, when applicable; warranty-
related costs and charges; and, all other costs and charges of whatever description or amount in
connection with, necessary for, or resulting from a supplier's required performance.
The Offeror agrees that the Price(s) in the quote in response to this RFQ represent the lowest price(s)
at which Offeror currently sells the Goods under comparable terms and conditions to any United States
Government or US Government funded customers. If during the life of any subsequent subcontract, the
supplier sells the Goods to any U.S. Government or U.S. Government funded customer for a lower
price, it will promptly inform Chemonics and execute an amendment to the subcontract so that such
lower price applies to any pending or subsequent Goods delivered thereunder.
e. Period of performance
Chemonics anticipates the period of performance of this subcontract to be for the duration of the lead
time from date of signature. The exact period of performance will be negotiated based on actual
proposed delivery timelines submitted with Offerors’ responses.
f. Taxes and Value Added Tax (VAT)
The GHSC-PSM prime contract under which this procurement is funded does not permit the financing
of any taxes, VAT, tariffs, duties, or other levies imposed by any laws in effect in the Cooperating
Country. No such Cooperating Country taxes, VAT, charges, tariffs, duties or levies will be paid under
an order resulting from this RFQ. The Offeror shall not assess any cooperating country taxes, duties,
levies, etc. from which this USAID project is exempt.
