The purchase order will be awarded to the Offeror who is deemed responsible by the Contracting Officer, in accordance with the General Standards for contractor responsibility at FAR 9.104-1, and whose proposal conforms to all of the solicitation's requirements (including stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information) and is assessed, based on the evaluation factors below, to represent the lowest price technically acceptable. 2.0 Evaluation Factors & Evaluation Approach All proposals will be evaluated in a fair and consistent manner. All proposals will be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. The Offeror whose proposal is determined to provide the lowest priced proposal that meets the acceptability standards for the non-cost factor (Technical) will be awarded the Order. The Government reserves the right to award based on initial proposals. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award the contract without discussions with the Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306). Offerors are urged to ensure that their initial proposals are submitted with the most favorable terms in order to reflect their best possible potential. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions and request proposal revisions if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. The Government will evaluate each proposal and the Contracting Officer will assess the results of the following Factors, listed below: Factor 1 - Technical Factor 2 - Price Factor 1 - Technical The proposals will be evaluated based on the offeror's proposed plan to meet the key Objectives of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The key objectives of the PWS are all subparagraphs in paragraph 2. To receive an acceptable rating, the offeror must demonstrate that they have the technical expertise, personnel required, and, ability to obtain necessary travel arrangement and/or materials (if required) in accordance with the period of performance delineated within the PWS for all of the work involved. Specifically, the evaluation of the offeror's proposed corporate experience will consider the qualifications and expertise of the offeror (to include subcontractors), as well as the experience and success of the offeror with similar efforts. Appropriate level of knowledge and experience shall be demonstrated by the offeror tough a capability statement or other items indicating experience with the equipment that is to be maintained. Factor 1 - Technical Approach Factor Ratings: Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation. Factor 2 - Price The price proposal will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). Price will not be scored. The Price Factor will not have an adjectival rating assigned. The total evaluated price is the total price proposed for this effort. Adequate competition is anticipated for this contract. However, if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, a cost analysis may be performed per FAR 15.404-1(c). If the Government determines that adequate price competition was not obtained and/or if the total evaluated price cannot be deemed fair and reasonable, the Government reserves the right to request cost or pricing data and to evaluate such data utilizing the proposal analysis techniques delineated in the FAR 15.404-1 as deemed appropriate. Therefore, in instances when only one offer is received and the quote is $2,000,000 or more, the Contracting Officer shall obtain Certified Cost or Pricing Data. Offers under $2,000,000 require cost or pricing data, but such cost or pricing data is not required to be certified by the offeror. Cost or Pricing Data or Other than certified cost or pricing data shall be provided upon request IAW FAR 15.403. This information will be evaluated for magnitude and reasonableness and may be adjusted from a technical and cost perspective using cost analysis to determine the most probable cost to the Government. Offerors shall utilize a Microsoft Excel file format with formulas intact when submitting their Price/Cost quote (FAR 15.403-5(b)(1)). Price Inconsistencies: A proposal is presumed to represent an Offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any significant inconsistencies, if unexplained, raise a fundamental issue of the Offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of work required and their financial ability to perform the contract, and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.
