A contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Quotes will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-cost/price factors. In order to be eligible for award, offerors must receive a rating of “acceptable” in every non-price factor/subfactor. In the interest of economy and efficiency, the Government will start by evaluating the technical quote of the lowest-priced offeror and will award to that offeror if the technical quote is rated “technically acceptable”. If the lowest offeror receives a rating of “unacceptable” in any of the non-cost factors, the Government will then move on to evaluating the technical quote of the next lowest offeror and so on until a quote is rated “technically acceptable”. Therefore, the technical quote of the non-low price offerors may or may not be evaluated.

Per, FAR 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990), Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The following factors and sub-factors will be used to determine technical acceptability. Offeror shall provide the information necessary, including for any subcontractors, to evaluate the following factors and subfactors:

Factor #1 – Technical Capability of Offeror.

Subfactor # 1- In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offer must at a minimum, demonstrate adequate technical capability of the item offered to meet or exceed the item specifications. Offer must demonstrate ability to deliver/install the equipment and source supplies and replacement parts.

Subfactor #2 – Ability to Meet Delivery/Installation - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offeror shall demonstrate the capability to deliver and install the product in the time frame identified in the solicitation, which is within 90 days upon award of this contract.

Factor #2 -Past Performance Subfactor #1- Recency and relevancy of present/past performance in relation to this effort - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offeror must, at a minimum provide past experience on similar type contract(s). The past experience should indicate successes of the contractor in completing/meeting delivery dates and customer satisfaction.

Factor #3 – Price Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror that is evaluated as “acceptable” for all non-price factors.

The Government considers “recent” present/past performance to be within the past 3 years

The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror. Information obtained from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) database located at http//www.ppirs.gov is one of the sources that will be utilized. PPIRS functions as the central warehouse for performance assessment reports received from several Federal performance information collection systems and is sponsored by the DOD E-Business Office and administered by the Naval Sea Logistics Center Detachment Portsmouth.

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)), in the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability,“unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

PRICE: Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror that is evaluated as “acceptable” for all non-price factors.
