The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the government; price, technical acceptability (submission of the Quality Control Plan, see PWS 1.5.3 and PWS Attachment 1), and a list of employees that will be assigned to the contract that meet the required experience, certifications, and qualifications identified in the PWS (1.8.1 and 1.8.2)are the evaluation criteria. Price will be evaluated based on the total price given for all CLINs. Technical acceptability will be evaluated through a document no longer than 10 pages, consisting of the contractors plan and procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services will be evaluated based on the requirements listed in the PWS QASP. Personnel Qualifications will be evaluated based upon meeting required qualifications identified in the PWS sections 1.8.1 and 1.8.2. This office will consider any late quotes or any late revisions of quotes as non-responsive. Technical and qualifications, when combined, are approximately equal to price. This is a best value decision. - Best value means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. In accordance with FAR 12.602 & FAR 13.106-2, technical, price & delivery will be considered in the streamlined evaluation. In the best value decision, the Government may consider any readily available value indicators (examples include special features of the supply or service required for effective program performance, trade-in considerations, probable life of the item, warranty considerations, maintenance availability, environmental and energy efficiency considerations, and delivery terms). This may result in award being made to a higher-rated, higher-priced quote. The Government's selection of a higher-rated, higher-priced quote will be supported by a determination that the technical/warranty superiority merits the additional cost involved.
