CONTRACT AWARD The vendor's quote must effectively demonstrate a practical and cost effective approach to performing requirements, and do so in a manner that represents a comprehensive understanding of the magnitude and complexity of the Government's requirements. A single award shall be made to the responsible Vendor whose quote, conforming to this RFQ, is most advantageous to the Government using a two-part evaluation. First the quote will be evaluated for on a pass/fall basis on whether or not the vendor has sufficiently demonstrated experience in scriptwriting efforts that included in-depth research on the availability of commercial and/or government sources for specialized resources that directly relate to U.S. military-type operations. Vendors that do not clearly meet this requirement will be removed from further considerations from award. Next, the quotes that pass the initial pass/fail evaluation will be evaluated using best value tradeoff procedures in terms of the following evaluation factors in order of importance: Technical Capability and Price. The Technical Capability rating will be the degree of confidence the Government has in a vendor's ability to successfully meet contract requirements based on the vendors' quote submissions. Price will not be rated by a scale; rather it will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness.
