The Contracting Officer determines that past performance need NOT be evaluated because the dollar amount and magnitude of this requirement are not substantial enough to increase associated risks in performance. The technical acceptability element of the evaluation will be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and specifications in the solicitation. The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the product meets the performance characteristics and specifications of the requirement. If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to conform to the requirement of this solicitation, the offeror shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications. Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors. Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price found on the Items List. Price evaluation will firstly rely on competition, if there is no relevant competition the Government will rely on historical pricing from previous contracts to determine price reasonableness.
