(a) The Government will award a single contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is determined to represent the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. Technical capability and past performance, when combined, are more important than price. The VA intends to award without discussions. As such, offerors are advised to submit all information requested and to provide their best possible offer. (b) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical Capability The evaluation of technical capability will consider whether the Contractor has the required capability to provide the services outlined in the statement of work. The following two subfactors of technical capability are equally important: " Frame Quality: a subjective evaluation of the offered sample frames that will take into consideration the quality of the frames and the variety of frames available. Following the evaluation, sample kits will be returned to offerors upon request. " Quality Control: A subjective evaluation of the offeror's approach to ensuring the quality of service provided, taking into consideration the understanding of service requirements and the feasibility of approach (Reference Statement of Work and attached Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan) 2. Past Performance The evaluation of past performance information will be obtained from current (within the last three years) references provided by the Offeror and from other sources known to the Government or otherwise learned of during the course of the evaluation. Past performance will be evaluated for the prior three (3) years, since the issue date of the solicitation, in managing and conducting projects of similar scope and complexity to that of this solicitation. References other than those identified by the Offeror may be contacted by the Government. A neutral rating will be given if no Past Performance information is available for services of a similar nature. More highly relevant past performance information shall be considered more favorably than less relevant information. 3. Price Each offeror's price shall be submitted using the price list document enclosed with this solicitation. (c) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (d) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
