The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Only offers proposing a delivery date of 40 weeks or fewer will be evaluated. 2. Only offers that meet the technical specifications required by the SoW will be evaluated. 3. Offers that provide the best value for the earliest delivery will be evaluated more favorably. 4. Past Performance: The Government will only award to offerors NASA determines to be responsible. To determine responsibility, NASA will rely on contracting limitations listed in SAM and FAPIIS reports. However, the Government reserves the right to use other source(s) of information when determining offeror responsibility. Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important when compared to price. And, the schedule portion of the technical evaluation factor is significantly more important than price and past performance.
