The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Past Performance

Evaluated Price

The best value to the Government will be evaluated by past performance and price being of equal importance. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all quotes and also reserves the right to not make an award. If awarded, only one firm fixed price contract will be awarded.

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options, plus half the price of the last option (in order to evaluate the 52.217-8 extension) to the total price for the basic award. This solicitation notified offerors that the award will include the Government's unilateral option to extend performance for an additional period up to six months under FAR 52.217-8, during which the pricing and terms of the period in which the option was exercised would apply. The Government cannot predict if or when the option may be exercised. Because any exercise of the Government's option extends the pricing and terms of the period in which the option was exercised, the Government expressly and affirmatively evaluates pricing for the option to extend under 52.217-8 co-extensive with the

Government's price evaluation for each of the base and option periods of this award. Because pricing for each period subject to possible extension under the 52.217-8 has been evaluated, pricing for any possible future use of that option to extend has, likewise, been evaluated and would apply in strict accordance with this evaluation in the event of the Government’s exercise of the option to extend services.

There are no contract financing or warranty requirements necessary for this requirement. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation. Contractors must submit quotes to the email address listed below. Only electronic submissions via email will be accepted.
