Determination for Award

May 22, 2015 Solicitation No. 15-249-SOL-00009 Emergency Generator Service and Repair

The solicitation was posted in FedBizOpps on 04/24/15 the close date to submit packages was 05/15/15.

The solicitation was made 100% set aside for Small Business under NAICS code No. 811310.

Three (3) qualifying contractors submitted a proposal in reference to this solicitation

Contractor 1 proposed the total cost at $30,617.00 (large business) Contractor 2 (small business) Contractor 3 (large business)

In accordance with FAR Part 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Items (Jan 1999) of the solicitation, the following factors were used to evaluate the offers: Experience, Past Performance - Technical Capability, and Price.

Experience and Past Performance - Technical Capability, were considered equal to price when combined. The full reference may be found in the solicitation under FAR Clauses.

Although the solicitation was set aside for small business, only one Small Business participated. The total cost for the lowest proposal was still slightly over the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and was $10k over the lowest proposed contractor’s price.

Because the government did not receive at least two responsible offers under the set aside the decision has been made to unrestrict the size standard based on the Governments need for the service and the that the proposal with the lowest overall total cost meets the best value to the Government.
