The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1: Technical Capability Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price (1) Factor 1: Technical Capability: Technical capability will be evaluated based on an evaluation of Technical Capability Factor; the factor will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation outlined in Attachment 2 - Materials and Equipment. Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. A vendor's quotation will be considered technically acceptable if it quotes based on the specifications outlined in Attachment 3 - SOW.

(2) Factor 2: Past Performance (A) Past Performance Citation Assessment - The Government will perform an independent assessment of the citations provided, to include any other citation the Government finds from other sources. Each past performance citation will be rated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis (see definitions below). These ratings will be based on information obtained from telephone calls to points of contact listed on the citations, as well as sources of information obtained by the Contracting Officer.

To be considered relevant, offeror must demonstrate ability to perform similar installations for government or commercial entities equivalent in magnitude.

This rating is based upon past performance information as follows: RATING DEFINITION Acceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "Unknown" shall be considered "Acceptable. (3) Factor 3: Price: Price will be evaluated in order to determine if it is reasonable in accordance with FAR Parts 13.106-3 and 15.4. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. (b) AWARD PROCESS: The Government will first evaluate all quotations on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. Acceptable quotes will then be ranked according to price. The lowest priced offeror who is technically acceptable with acceptable past performance will receive the award. The award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offerors.
