Experience Evaluation

10-SOL-236-00010

June 3, 2010

(3) EXPERIENCE – Proposals will be evaluated on the number of years of experience that key personnel have in information systems development and maintenance, including geographic systems and web services, size of work, number of unique information systems projects, number of years experience in software development and support of information systems designed to manage environmental health data for federal, state, or city/borough/municipal government or other public sector entities. A minimum of one key personnel experience requirement is 5 years of web based applications used by Environmental Health Departments for inspection data storage and management. Federal work experience is preferred. Work specific to indigenous populations is preferred with a higher preference for work with federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native and/or IHS.

(4) PAST PERFORMANCE - Evaluation of past experience is a subjective assessment based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptability. When assessing the quality of the offeror’s past performance, the Government will seek to determine whether the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a business-like concern for customer satisfaction. This is a matter of judgment.

NOTE: The government may use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror. Any information obtained will be used for both a responsibility determination and for the purposes of evaluation. A past performance questionnaire will be used to collect this information. References, other than those identified by the offeror, maybe contacted by the Government with the information received and used in the evaluation of the offeror's past performance or whom information on past performance is not available past performance. Also, in case of any offeror without a record of relevant, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

(5) PRICE – The prices for each item will be added together to arrive at a total evaluated price. Each Offeror's price will be evaluated for reasonableness as compared to Independent Government Estimate (IGE), prices proposed by other offerors, and/or other cost/price estimates for similar requirements. Although price is the least important factor, it may be used as a determinative factor if offers (2 or more) are evaluated as equal in all other criteria.

Technical, accessability, past performance, and experience when combined, are more important than price. Trade off procedures in FAR 15.101-1 will be used.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options, with the exception of CLIN’s 0003 & 1002-4002, to the total price for the basic requirement. 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).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, 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 an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
