The overall proposal shall consist of three (3) physically separate parts, individually titled Parts 1, 2, and 3. Individual volumes shall contain the following: Part I – Solicitation & Signed SF1149 and Price. All signed amendments (SF30s) if there’s any.

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 and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers. (i) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY (ii) PAST PERFORMANCE (iii) PRICE Offerors' proposals will be evaluated first under Factor (i) above, which represents MINIMUM acceptable criteria. Under this factor, products offered will be determined to be either technically acceptable or unacceptable. Failure to meet the minimum criteria for this factor will render the offer to be technically unacceptable and to not be considered for award. Only those Offers which meet the minimum requirements established by Factor (i) will be further evaluated under Factors (ii), and (iii). In the second step of evaluating those offers determined under Factor (i) to be technically acceptable, Factor (ii), PAST PERFORMANCE, is significantly more important than Factor (iii), and PRICE. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offeror's best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. Factor (i) - TECHNICAL CAPABILITY Offerors' technical information will be used to determine whether the items and/or services proposed meet the specifications included in this solicitation. Therefore, offeror shall provide information that clearly demonstrated experience in performance on similar requirements. Offers which are determined to be technically unacceptable may not be considered further for award. A list of technically acceptable/unacceptable ratings is listed below: Technically 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. Factor (ii) - PAST PERFORMANCE Information submitted as required by SECTION L Past Performance, will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for up to three prior similar contracts performed within the past three years. PAST PERFORMANCE information should be provided on the form provided as an attachment to this solicitation. Information utilized will be obtained from these references as well as any other sources that may have relevant information. Offers which lack relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for this factor. Any Offeror's proposal which has no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposals of other offerors. Evaluation of Offeror's PAST PERFORMANCE is as follows: NEUTRAL: No relevant past performance available for evaluation. Offeror has asserted that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance experience. Proposal receives no merit or demerit for this factor. OUTSTANDING: No risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of any degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon offeror's past performance. SATISFACTORY: Very little risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the offeror's past performance. UNSATISFACTORY: Significant potential risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the offeror's past performance. Factor (iii) – Price Award will be made to the responsible offeror that is rated outstanding or satisfactory in Past Performance and offers the lowest price. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offeror’s best terms from price.
