EVALUATION OF OFFERS:
Basis of Award
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.
The Government will perform a comparative evaluation of offers in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 12.203 Evaluation. The Government will evaluate all quotes, compare them to one another, and will award a contract to the responsible Offeror (see RFO 9.104-1 General Standards) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and is most advantageous to the Government. Considering several factors, the offer shall represent the best overall value to the Government at a price that can be determined reasonable. The Government is not required to identify the relative weight of the evaluation factors, hold discussions, or use other FAR Part 15 procedures. Reference RFO 12.203(c)(2). The Government Project Leads, Contracting Officer s Representative (COR), and Contracting Officer (CO) will select for award the quote determined to represent the best benefit to fulfill the Government s requirement.
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 interactions after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered or the most highly rated technical package. The Government reserves the right to select a response that, in providing the benefit to the Government, exceeds the minimum requirements, but is not required to do so. While responses may exceed the requirements, the Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotes, as each response must respond to the Statement of Work (SOW)/Performance Work Statement (PWS) requirements.
Once the Government determines there is(are) a contractor(s) that can provide the items that meet the requirements of this RFQ/RFP, the Government reserves the right to interact with only the identified offeror(s) providing the best-suited quote to address any remaining issues, if any.
Please note, missing or incomplete information shall count against the Offeror in determination of award.
Evaluation Approach
The Government s comparative evaluations will be based on the following criteria:
Technical
Technical evaluations will be based on the information contained in the SOW and will include, but not necessarily limited to, the Offeror s demonstration of its ability to meet the requirements and the degree to which the technical submission describes a detailed technical/management approach for accomplishing each task and addresses all management aspects associated with the tasks.
Key Personnel
The Government will evaluate whether all key personnel meet the minimum requirements of Section B.1.2.2. Qualifications in the SOW (ATTACHMENT 1). Any offer that does not meet or exceed all minimum requirements identified in Section B.1.2.2. of the SOW will be determined technically unacceptable and will not be eligible for award
Past Performance
The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter s likelihood of success in fulfilling the requirements as indicated by the Offeror s record of past performance. The Government will evaluate the offeror s past performance on active and completed federal contracts in accordance with RFO 12.203(a)(2). The Government may contact the offeror s submitted references on Government contracts. The past performance evaluation may be based on the contracting officer s knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; Customer Surveys, past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis.
In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
Price:
Firm-Fixed Price: The Offeror's price quote/proposal for each task identified in the attached pricing schedule will be evaluated with respect to the quoted/proposed price for each line item to determine ability to fully meet the solicitation s requirements. The Government will evaluate offers by adding the total of all line-item prices. The total evaluated price will be that sum. Comparative price analysis will be used to determine that the prices are fair and reasonable and realistic in accordance with RFO 12.204(a). The Government will determine if the quoted/proposed price is fair and reasonable.
