The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Subject to the provisions contained herein, the Government intends to award a single contract resulting from the Solicitation, to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose Proposal conforms to the Solicitation's requirements (to included all stated terms, conditions, and all other information required by the Solicitation), and provides the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal to satisfy the requirements of this Solicitation and the PWS. a. Evaluation criteria consist of two (2) evaluation factors. The Proposals will be evaluated under the following evaluation factors: Factor 1: Technical Capability Factor 2: Price b. Evaluation Factors. The Government's technical evaluation team will evaluate proposals to determine either technically acceptable or technically unacceptable (price excluded). In order to be considered technically acceptable, the proposal for Factor 1 must be determined acceptable and must demonstrate an understanding of the requirements for all task areas described in the PWS. The proposal must demonstrate a practical/functional technical approach that meets the needs of the Solicitation. Failure to meet the criteria will render the proposal to be technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award. 1) Factor 1: Technical Capability - To be deemed technically acceptable, the Offeror's Mission Capability must demonstrate: a) An understanding of all tasks specified in this solicitation and describes how the requirement will be satisfied through clear methodologies, techniques, and detailed technical approach to meet the required objectives in the performance of technical requirements identified in PWS. In evaluating, the assessment will concentrate on the offeror's plans for accomplishing the PWS requirements, to include proposed processes, schedule, and approaches. Each proposal shall be evaluated on its ability to demonstrate a clear understanding of the contractual requirements and a corresponding plan to fulfill those performance requirements in the most effective and efficient manner possible for each functional task area. b) Organizational Structure. The organizational line and block chart shall demonstrate a feasible structure to successfully manage the PWS requirements. An effective organizational structure that demonstrates whether the Offeror has all the necessary personnel qualifications, processes and plans in effect to ensure contract performance in accordance with the requirements of the PWS.

The proposal must clearly demonstrate that all requirements of the PWS are met through identifying what parts of the organization are responsible for managing and accomplishing what work and clearly and rationally identify how the Offeror will successfully manage multiple tasks. 2) Factor 2: Price. The Offeror's price submission of all CLINs and Options will be evaluated considering the response to the solicitation. The techniques and procedures described under FAR Part 15.404 will be the primary means of assessing price reasonableness. 2. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the Offeror's final option period price to the Offeror's total price. Thus, the Offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the Base Period, 1st Option Period, 2nd Option Period, 3rd Option Period, 4th Option Period, and 1/2 of the 4th Option Period. Offerors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 3. A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, 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 a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (End of provision) As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding six (6) months of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Offerors are required only to price the base and option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of that performance period.
