A competitive, firm fixed priced contract award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the attached Statement of Work and is the lowest priced offer.

TECHNICAL

The Government will evaluate the technical factors as acceptable or unacceptable.

PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS:

Past Performance will be evaluated qualitatively and categorized as Exceptional, Acceptable, Marginal, Unacceptable, and Neutral. The following table defines these adjectives.

If no relevant past performance record is identifiable upon which to base a meaningful performance rating, the contractor will be rated “Neutral”.

If the contracting officer determines that a small business’ past performance is not acceptable, the matter shall be referred to the Small Business Administration for a Certificate of Competency determination, in accordance with the procedures contained in Subpart 19.6 and 15 U.S.C. 637 (b) (7).

Past Performance Rating Standards Rating Standard Exceptional Essentially no doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record.

Acceptable Little doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record.

Risk Level: Low

Marginal Significant doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record.

Risk Level: High

Unacceptable It is extremely doubtful that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record.

Risk Level: Very High

Neutral No relevant past performance record is identifiable upon which to base a meaningful performance rating. This is neither a negative or positive assessment.

Risk Level: Unknown

EVALUATION OF PRICE

A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price contained in the contract price schedule. If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. The Government will also evaluate whether a proposed price is unrealistically low since this might indicate a lack of technical understanding on the offeror’s part or a performance risk associated with the proposal that the Government may not be willing to accept. Whether a proposed price is unrealistically low may be considered in the context of comparison to other price proposals received as well as to the Independent Government Estimate or to any other information deemed useful.

The Offeror’s price proposal will not be point scored or adjectivally rated, but will be evaluated in accordance with one or more of the techniques identified in FAR 15.404. The price proposal will also be used as an aid to determine the offeror’s understanding of the requirements of the solicitation, price reasonableness, and to assess the validity of the offeror’s approach to managing and performing the work.
