Evaluation Criteria: The Government will use a best value decision for award of this procurement. Only those Offerors whose proposals provide the best overall value will be awarded contracts with a minimum guarantee of $2,500.00. The evaluation factors for this solicitation and are as follows:

Solicitation Compliance Criteria: The government will perform an assessment of minimum "go/no go" or gate solicitation compliance criteria that an offeror's proposal must meet before advancing to Phase One in the proposal evaluation process. This is not an evaluation of any factors, but to confirm the inclusion of the minimum requirements of the proposal as stated in the solicitation. If an offeror does not pass the solicitation compliance criteria review, the proposal is not further evaluated in Phase One and is eliminated from consideration for award preventing additional unnecessary expenditure of the Government's and offeror's time and money on an unviable offer. Each Offeror's Past Performance Summary Sheet (Attachment 2) will be reviewed as part of Phase One Compliance. Each submitted project provided on the project summary sheet will be reviewed against the submission requirements identified in Paragraph 6.2.8. Offeror's submitted projects identified on the Past Performance Summary Sheet (Attachment 2) shall meet the minimum submission requirements of a current or completed awarded project value of no less than $15 Million each and three (3) Design-Build, 2 New Construction and 1 Renovation. Offeror's proposals that meet the minimum submission criteria identified in Paragraph 6.2.8 will be provided a "Go" and the proposal will advance to the Phase One evaluation process. Offeror's proposals that do not meet the minimum submission criteria identified in Paragraph 6.2.8 will receive a "No-Go", and that proposal will not advance to the Phase One Evaluation. Offerors whose proposals receive a "No-Go" will be notified in accordance with FAR 15.503 (a)(1). Attachment 2 shall be completed in its entirety. The Summary Sheet shall be the same projects submitted under FACTOR 1, Past Performance. No narrative information will be reviewed with the Phase One Compliance Review, only the completed fields of the attachment. Factor 1, Past Performance will be evaluated in its entirely after receiving a "Go" from the compliance gate.

To ensure the Government can target award to a pool of eight (8) MATOC holders, the Government will target twelve (12) of the most highly qualified offers to advance from Phase One to Phase Two. 

This solicitation includes a notice to offerors that, pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2), the contracting officer may also limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

PHASE One:

FACTOR 1:  PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR 2:  DESIGN EXPERIENCE

The Government will evaluate the performance capability of the proposals in accordance with the criteria provided in the solicitation and will target twelve (12) of the most highly qualified Offerors to participate in Phase Two.

PHASE Two:

FACTOR 3:  TECHNICAL CAPABILITY (Management Approach)

PRICE:

Price will not be rated but will be a factor in establishing a competitive range prior to discussions (if held) and in making the best value decision for award of any resultant contract(s).

In Phase Two of the process, the Government will evaluate both price and technical capability (management approach)

The award will be made to a target of eight (8) Offerors whose proposals represent the best overall value to the Government. Awards will be made to the Offerors whose technical submittal and price proposal contain the combination of criteria requested which offers the best overall value to the Government. Proposals shall include sufficient detailed information to allow complete evaluation. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proof of acceptability rests with the Offeror.

Consolidation: This MATOC constitutes consolidation in that it combines construction projects at multiple discrete sites into one contract, this approach provides the best combination of competitive procedures, streamlined acquisition, qualified prime
contractors, efficient use of manpower, and some cost efficiency—thereby providing the best way to support SAS’s MILCON/Large SRM program. Per FAR 7.107-2(d)(3), quantifiable benefits of administrative/personnel cost savings for this $400 Million
procurement must exceed the 10% threshold, or $40 Million, to clearly justify a financial benefit of consolidation. Although the savings demonstrated above do not meet the threshold in FAR 7.107-2(d)(3), when comparing a MATOC and other procurement
methods, other benefits are clearly demonstrated. The consolidation of requirements under this MATOC is critical to SAS’s success in meeting DoD requirements can be met when projects are not received in sufficient time to compete as full and open standalone
requirements. Although this procurement will be set aside for small businesses, all firms will be invited to compete and will receive fair consideration for a contract under this MATOC. Considering the discussion provided above, consolidation is necessary and justified as the benefits of consolidation substantially exceed the benefits of the alternative contracting approaches. Fulfilling this requirement through separate, stand-alone contracts would result in considerable risk of higher costs and scheduling constraints to the Government. Consolidation of the requirements promotes flexibility to complete the work in the time frame required due to funding constraints. Consolidation will not negatively impact small business participation in these programs but will promote competition and motivate both lower costs to the contractor and overall better pricing for the Government.
