Accordingly, the analytical techniques and procedures described in FAR 15.404-1 may be used singly or in combination with others, as determined by the Contracting Officer, to ensure the costs are fair and reasonable. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, may raise a fundamental issue of the Offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of the work required and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal as inadequate. EVALUATION & BASIS FOR AWARD Basis for Award: The Government intends to award Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract to the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal in accordance with FAR 15.101-2. To receive consideration for award, a rating of - Acceptable must be achieved for both Factors 1 and 2, Technical and Past Performance. Rejection of Offers: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1 (g) The Government may reject any or all offers if such an action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: Offers that provide only a statement indicating its capability to comply with the RFP terms without support and elaboration as specified in volume instructions stated in this combined synopsis/solicitation; or Offers that reflect an inherent lack of technical competence or a failure to comprehend the complexity and risks required to perform the requirements. This may include submission of a proposal which is abnormally high or low in Price (unbalanced pricing) or unattainable in terms of technical or schedule commitments: or Offers that do not meet all the stated material requirements of this combined synopsis/solicitation; or Offers that propose exceptions to the attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or other combined synopsis/solicitation terms and conditions. Evaluation and Source Selection Process Section: Selection of the successful Offeror shall be made following an assessment of each proposal, based on the response to the requirements of this solicitation. Proposals will be evaluated as specified in Proposal Evaluation Section below. Evaluation: The evaluation of proposals submitted in response to this combined synopsis/solicitation shall be conducted in accordance with an LPTA competition. Award without Discussions: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1 (g), The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal shall contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Determination of Responsibility: In accordance with FAR 9.103, contracts will be placed only with Contractors that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible. Prospective offerors, to qualify as sources for this acquisition must be able to demonstrate that they meet standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. No award can be given to an Offeror who has been determined non-responsible by the Contracting Officer. PROPOSAL EVALUATION Evaluation Factors: The Technical volume of the proposal will be evaluated against the requirements described in the SOWcontained in this solicitation. The Technical Volume will be determined to be - Acceptable or - Unacceptable, using the following ratings: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable - Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable - Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Technical Proposal: FACTOR I: Technical Factor: The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical proposal based on the technical factors stated above under Factor 1 Instructions, also see the SOW for further details. FACTOR 2: Past Performance Factor: Past Performance rating will be an Offeror's probability of meeting the requirements. Past Performance uses two aspects: relevancy and regency. The assessment is based on the Offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. Recency is described as contractual efforts undertaken within three years prior to this solicitation. Relevance pertains to whether the Offeror's present/past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort. The second aspect of past performance will be determining how well the contractor performance on the contracts. This evaluation does not establish, create, or change the existing record of performance rather the past performance evaluation gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed on those past contracts. Each Offeror's proposal will receive an acceptable, or unacceptable rating. The Government may use data provided in the Offeror's proposal and data will be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, Past Performance Information Retrieval System and interviews with other Government officials. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Acceptable: Based on the Offeror's performance record the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable: Based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant Past Performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (IV). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown shall be considered "acceptable." Partial quotes will not be evaluated by the Government. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES: ALL PROPOSALS SHALL BE SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL WITH THE SUBJECT LINE: W91ZLK-25-Q-0019 PROPOSAL FROM (INSERT COMPANY NAME) The offeror shall include a Company name, Point of contact, Company CAGE code, DUNS number and TIN.
