submitted via email to the Contracting Officer, contact@example.gov Evaluation:
Factor 1 – Technical Experience Vendor must provide evidence of required experience
as indicated in the SOW. Evaluation: Factor 2 – Relevant Experience It is highly
desirable that offerors include relavent experience related to the SOW. The
information provided in the Relevant Experience submission must be sufficiently
detailed so that the Government can determine whether the project(s) demonstrate
relevant experience of similar scope, size, and complexity of this acquisition.
Evaluation: Factor 3 – Price The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s price quote for
completeness, accuracy, compliance, and to determine price reasonableness. Basis of
Award: This procurement is being conducted pursuant to FAR 19.5.01 as a small
business set-aside. The Government intends to award a single firm-fixed price task
order to the Offeror whose quote represents the best value to the Government.
Comparative evaluations (comparing quotes to each other) will be used to select the
Offeror that is best suited and provides the best value based on the following three (3)
factors in descending order of importance: Factor 1 - Technical Experience, Factor 2 -
Relevant Experience, and Factor 3 - Price. The Government will use the tradeoff
process to make a determination of best value. This means that the Government will
consider issuing an award to other than the lowest priced Offeror, other than the
highest technically and relevant experience evaluated Offeror based on an assessment
and tradeoff between non-price factors (Factor 1 and 2) and price (Factor 3). The nonprice
factors are more important than price. However, the closer the quote’s non-price
evaluations are to one another, the more significant the price factor becomes in
determining the best value to the Government. This is only a request for quotation. No
guarantee of award is made or implied. The Government reserves the right to cancel
this solicitation, either before or after the closing date.
