Evaluation Criteria
This is a competitive commercial acquisition. The Government intends to award a single delivery order resulting from this RFQ to the responsive, responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the RFQ, selected according to the following evaluation criteria.
Price: Price will be evaluated by calculating a Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for each offer. TEP is the total price the contractor provides for the base year and all option years as well as ½ the cost for Option Year 4 (representing the potential 6-month execution of FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services). The calculation for TEP is as follows:
TEP = Total Price for Base Year and All Option Years + (Price for Option Year 4 * 0.5)
Technical Acceptability: Technical acceptability will be determined by review of the contractor’s technical proposal. Proposal will be evaluated to determine that contractor capabilities are sufficient to provide the services as stated in the PWS. A proposal that shows a contractor is capable of meeting the requirements of the PWS will be determined to be Acceptable. A proposal that fails to show a contractor is capable of meeting, fails to understand, or fails provide enough information to evaluate the contractors understanding of the requirements of the PWS will be determined to be Unacceptable.
Past Performance: Past performance will be evaluated by reviewing the 2 to 4 past performance examples provided by the contractor. Past performance will be reviewed for recency (within the last 7 years) and demonstration of the successful execution of projects similar in nature to the one requested under this solicitation. Past performance that is found to be recent and shows successful execution of at least 2 projects similar in nature to the one requested under this solicitation will be determined to be Acceptable. Past performance that is found to not be recent, not show successful execution of at least 2 projects similar in nature to the one requested under this solicitation, or fails to show both of these requirements will be determined to be Unacceptable.
The government intends to complete evaluation of offers without conducting negotiations but reserves the right to open negotiations if the Contracting Officer determines it to be necessary.
The Government will select for award the responsible offeror who’s proposal has the lowest TEP with Acceptable ratings for both Technical Acceptability and Past Performance.
