The subject line shall include the solicitation number 75H71326Q00057.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award a contract to the responsible Offeror whose quote represents the best value to the Government, considering price and non-price factors. The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced Offeror.

The Government reserves the right to:

• Make no award
• Evaluate quotes without discussions
• Communicate with Respondents for clarification purposes only
• Exclude quotes that fail to follow solicitation instructions

EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government will award a purchase order to the responsible offeror whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government may make no award if no quotation is technically acceptable, if no offeror is responsible, or if pricing is not determined fair and reasonable.

The following factors will be used to evaluate quotations:

Factor 1 - Technical Capability and Staffing/Team Approach. The Government will evaluate the extent to which the quotation demonstrates the ability to perform the Performance Work Statement and achieve the required outcomes for recurring laundry services, pickup and delivery, laundry processing, cleanliness and usability, packaging and protection of clean items, inventory accountability, infection control and safety, service records, quality control, customer service, and continuity of service. The Government will evaluate whether the proposed staffing, supervision, schedule, equipment, transportation, processing controls, and communication approach are adequate for performance supporting an operating healthcare campus. If subcontractors or teaming partners are proposed, the Government will evaluate whether the arrangement is organized and enforceable and whether the prime offeror demonstrates a credible plan to manage the work and comply with applicable limitations on subcontracting. A quotation may be found technically unacceptable if it merely restates the PWS without explaining how the work will be performed or if it fails to demonstrate credible capability to perform and manage the requirement.

Factor 2 - Past Performance. The Government will evaluate the recency and relevance of the offeror and any proposed major subcontractor experience providing comparable laundry services, healthcare linen services, uniform or textile processing, pickup and delivery, facilities support, subcontractor management, and reporting services. The Government may consider references provided by the offeror and information available from other Government or commercial sources. The Government may consider timeliness, quality, customer satisfaction, safety, management of subcontractors, invoice accuracy, and performance on similar requirements. An offeror without any history of Past Performance will receive a neutral rating for this factor.

Factor 3 - Price. The Government will evaluate the total evaluated price, including the base period and all option periods. Total evaluated price will be calculated using the annual dollar amounts for all five line items. The Government will determine whether prices are fair and reasonable. The Government may also evaluate price realism to assess whether the quoted annual prices reflect a clear understanding of the requirement and are not so low as to create unacceptable performance risk. The Government may determine a quotation unacceptable if option prices are significantly unbalanced, incomplete, unrealistic, or if the price is not fair and reasonable.

Relative Importance: Factor 1 is more important than Factor 2. Factors 1 and 2, when combined, are more important than Factor 3, Price. Price will become more important as non-price quotations become more equal. The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced offeror.

Options: The Government will evaluate quotations for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

AWARD INFORMATION

A single award is anticipated. Written notice of award or acceptance of a quotation furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the quotation shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. The Government reserves the right to award without exchanges, to communicate with offerors if needed, to reject any or all quotations, and to waive informalities and minor irregularities when in the Government interest.
