The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) Key Personnel (ii) Experience of Key Personnel (iii) Past Performance (iv) Price. - 1) Key Personnel - Resume(s) of the key personnel to be involved in the project shall be submitted by the offeror. Resume(s) must be limited to two pages in length. Resume(s) shall include work experience with the name and telephone number of each supervisor; qualifications and/or education background; and accomplishments, achievements and awards in the areas referenced under the Statement of Work. - 2) Experience of Key Personnel - a) Describe your experience performing projects similar to this requirement - 3) Past Performance: The offeror shall submit a listing of at least three (3) recent and relevant contracts held within the past three (3) years in which similar services have been performed. Any contracts during this period that resulted in disputes over non-performance between the offeror and a client shall be identified.

Note: Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their proposals may be used to evaluate offeror past performance. The Government may not necessarily interview any or all of the sources provided. Also, the Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the proposals. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offerors. - 4) Price Basis for Award The evaluation will be based on best value principles. Accordingly, award will be made to the responsible and technically acceptable Offeror whose proposal provides the greatest overall value to the Government, price and other factors considered. This will be determined by comparing the value of the differences in the technical capabilities for competing offers based on their strengths, weaknesses, and risks with differences of their price to the Government. In making this comparison, the Government is more concerned with obtaining superior technical capabilities than with making an award at the lowest overall cost to the Government. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to the Government to achieve slightly superior technical skills. The government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material necessary for the government to determine whether the service meets the technical requirements. Quotes shall include all information corresponding to each minimum required item, which demonstrates the capabilities of the offeror.
