(IX) Evaluation Criteria

In accordance with FAR Part 13.106-2(b)(3), the evaluation will be conducted through comparative evaluation of offers. This solicitation is not stating nor required to state the relative importance assigned to each evaluation factor and, if applicable, sub-factor in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(a)(2). The Government shall evaluate only the three (3) lowest priced offers received, unless offers are received where: (1) the offer fails to meet administrative requirements of the solicitation, to include, but not limited to, an Offeror not being SAM.gov registered or failing to transmit all signed amendments; (2) pricing is found to be not fair and/or unreasonable;

(3) the offer is found to be technically unacceptable; (4) past performance is determined to be unacceptable; or (5) any combination of the previously stated conditions. If an offer is found to meet any of the previously stated conditions that offer will be removed from award consideration and the Contracting Officer will consider the next lowest priced offer in place of the removed offer. Should offers be received that are the same price, all offers of that price will be considered for evaluation.

The Government does not contemplate entering interchanges. Offerors are advised to provide their best offer as their initial offer, to include a best initial offer that reflects the Offeror’s best pricing and technical solution that satisfy the requirements of the solicitation.

Evaluation Factors The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Price: The sum of each CLIN extended price will be evaluated as the total price used for evaluation. Pricing shall contemplate all services necessary to satisfy the Government’s requirements as captured this combined synopsis/solicitation.

2. Technical: Offerors shall provide a clearly identified project narrative for the purpose of comparative evaluation. Limit the project narrative to one page, which at a minimum, shall addresses the following:

Explain in sufficient detail how the offeror intends to successfully complete the requirements identified in this combined synopsis/solicitation prior to the required delivery date or within the period of performance.

Explain in sufficient detail whether the offeror intends to self‐perform or sub‐contract the work. If sub‐contracting, provide the specific sub‐contractor’s information and a breakdown of which tasks will be performed by each firm.

3. Past Performance: Provide at least three recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and references. Include contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information. The projects must have been performed within the past five years to be considered recent.

Comparative Evaluation of Offers

Prior to making award of this contract, the offeror's proposal will be reviewed for the following:

1. Technical Responsiveness: By submission of its offer, the offeror assents to the terms and conditions in this solicitation document and in any attachments hereto. The Government will assess whether the offer proposed satisfies in an acceptable manner all solicitation requirements.

2. Price Reasonableness: The Contracting Officer shall estimate the fair market price of the work to be performed. In estimating the fair market price, the Contracting Officer shall use cost or price analysis and consider other quotes received, commercial prices for similar products and services, available in‐house cost estimates, data (including cost or pricing data) submitted by the SBA, and data obtained from any other Government agency. If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. Offerors are cautioned to distribute costs appropriately. Pricing will be evaluated based on what is determined to be the best value to the Government. The Contracting Officer will determine whether the final price is fair and reasonable.

3. Past Performance: Regardless of whether past performance is included as an evaluation factor or sub‐ factor, the Government shall perform a review of a prospective awardee’s past performance information.

This review may be limited to a review of the prospective awardee’s past performance information available on SAM.gov or may entail a more thorough review of the other past performance information available to the Contracting Officer.

(X) The quoter shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212‐3, Offeror Representations and Certifications‐Commercial Products and Commercial Services, with its quote.

(XI) The clause at FAR 52.212‐4, Contract Terms and Conditions‐Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies to this acquisition.

(XII) The clause at FAR52.212‐5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders‐Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies to this acquisition.

(XIII) The Government intends to award a Purchase Order resulting from this solicitation.

(XV) Quotes are required to be received in the contracting office no later than 11:59 P.M. HT on August 2, 2024.
