(a) The Government intends to make award to the three (3) lowest priced offers that meet or exceed the acceptability standards for non-price offers. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 – Technical Approach:

The Government will evaluate the technical proposal to determine if the supplies provided are technically acceptable according to the specifications listed in Attachment 6 Buoy Requirements Attachment 6 Buoy Requirements REV 9 February 2022. Failure to meet or exceed any specification or requirement found in Attachment 6 Buoy Requirements Attachment 6 Buoy Requirements REV 9 February 2022 will result in an unacceptable rating.

Factor 2 – Past Performance The Government will evaluate the responses from the customers in the example projects identified by the offeror from which Past Performance Questionnaires have been received. This evaluation will determine is the past performance is acceptable or unacceptable. The offeror’s past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, effective management of subcontractor, cost management, level of communication between the contracting parties, proactive management, and customer satisfaction. In order to be determined acceptable, the past performance must show a preponderance of relevant contracts with a Satisfactory rating or higher.

The Government may contact and interview as many points of contact as possible to supplement the information received through the Past Performance Questionnaires received. The evaluation may also rely on sources other than those provided by the offeror to obtain information with respect to past performance evaluations such as the

PAGE 4 OF 5 1305M321RNRMA00180001

Contractor Performance Assessment and Reporting System (CPARS), telephone interviews, and personal knowledge of contractor performance capability obtained from Government personnel. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the listed references, if the listed reference is not available.

Offerors with no past performance information, which includes no past performance questionnaires being received, will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably and will receive a neutral rating.

If a teaming arrangement is proposed, the Government may consider the experience/past performance of one of the parties’ as representative of the experience of the teaming arrangement itself.

Factor 3 – Price The Government will evaluate price by reviewing the total full life-cycle amount for estimated quantities using the “Quantity 1-10” unit prices provided in B.4, in accordance with CAR 1352.215-73 Evaluation Quantities - Indefinite Quantity Contract. The Government estimates the following quantities for evaluation purposes:

The Government may also review price reasonableness for individual unit prices to evaluate the offeror’s understanding of the requirement.

(b) The lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If the lowest priced offer is determined to be acceptable, award will be made to this offer. This process will continue until three (3) award decisions have been made. No further offer evaluation will take place.

(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.
