EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
Basis for Award
The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to the responsible Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the Government, in accordance with FAR Part 12, utilizing the FAR Part 12 overhaul procedures.
Award will be made using a comparative evaluation of quotations. The Government may award without discussions.
Evaluation Factors and Relative Importance
The following factors will be evaluated:
1. Technical Acceptability 2. Delivery / Availability 3. Price
Technical Acceptability and Delivery, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. As quotations become more similar in non-price factors, Price will become increasingly important.
Technical Acceptability
The Government will evaluate quotations to assess how well the offered trailers meet or exceed the requirements of the Statement of Need and Salient Characteristics. The evaluation will be comparative, focusing on the relative strengths, weaknesses, and overall quality of each quotation. The Government may identify advantages that provide additional value beyond minimum requirements.
Technical considerations include, but are not limited to: - Compliance with all required salient characteristics - Quality and durability of trailer construction materials - Suitability for long-term outdoor storage in Florida environmental conditions - Design features enhancing security, weather resistance, or ease of relocation - Warranty coverage and manufacturer support
Quotations that merely meet minimum requirements may be evaluated less favorably than quotations that exceed requirements or reduce performance risk.
Failure to meet any minimum requirement may render a quotation technically unacceptable and ineligible for award.
Delivery / Availability
The Government will comparatively evaluate each offeror s ability to meet or exceed delivery requirements. Evaluation considerations include:
- Ability to deliver all five (5) trailers within 30 calendar days after receipt of order (ARO) - Proposed delivery timeline relative to other offerors - Availability of trailers at the time of quotation - Certainty and reliability of the proposed delivery approach - Ability to deliver trailers leveled, stable, and ready for immediate use at all designated locations
Quotations offering earlier delivery, higher delivery certainty, or reduced logistical risk may be evaluated more favorably.
Price
Price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 12.204. The Government will consider the total evaluated price, inclusive of all costs associated with meeting the requirements.
While Price is less important than non-price factors, it remains a significant factor and may become determinative when quotations are otherwise similar.
