The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price. The Technical element of the evaluation will first be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and specifications in the solicitation. Those offers that meet or exceed the stated performance characteristics and specifications will then be evaluated in terms of technical aspects above the minimum requirements and of those aspects not addressed in the solicitation performance characteristics and specifications that would be most beneficial to the Government. In particular, the Government is willing to trade-off on price for offerors that exceed the following performance characteristics/specifications and/or delivery time: 1. Expedited Delivery time of six (6) months after contract award. 2. Inclusion of a Shadow Sizing System for the LDV system. 3. Extended maintenance support and updates to include at least three (3) years of system update and preventative maintenance support for the LDV system and the software. Additionally, the support shall include one (1) day of training after each annual system update on LDV system and software. In addition to above salient characteristics, additional preferred performance specifications and the vendor's past performance history will be valued heavily even at higher cost if the offered system's capability is superior. The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the product meets or exceeds the performance characteristics and specifications of the requirement. If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to conform to the requirement of this solicitation, the offeror shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications. Past performance will be evaluated based on information provided by the offeror as to actual sales of the proposed product to industry or Government agencies.
