Non-Price Factors:

• Factor 1: Technical Capability

• Factor 2: Past Performance

Price Factor:

• Factor 3: Price Non-Price Factors:

· Factor 1: Technical Capability The Government will evaluate the Technical Acceptability of the proposal by verifying the offeror provided the following:

· The offeror provided a technical capabilities product description of the proposed Brand Name or Equal machine that meets or exceeds proposed IBML Fusion 8300. The capabilities description showed proof the Scanner met the minimum technical specifications of Section 2.1 of the Statement Of Work (SOW).

· The offeror provided proof of ability to provide a warranty as described in Section 2.1 of the SOW.

· Factor 2: Past Performance The Government will evaluate an offeror's Past Performance to determine the extent to which their performance demonstrates the likelihood of successful performance in providing requirements similar in size, scope, and complexity of this solicitation.

If the offeror is without a record of relevant and recent past performance, it shall affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant and recent past performance. In such a situation, an offeror lacking relevant and recent past experience that fails to provide an affirmative declaration may be found to have failed to provide a solicitation requirement, the Government may reject their proposal.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

Price Factor:

Factor 3: Price If more than one proposal is received, competition will determine price reasonableness, and a price evaluation will not be completed.

If one proposal is received, price evaluation will proceed. The purpose of the price evaluation is to provide an assessment of the reasonableness of the submitted price in relation to the solicitation requirements.

Price will be evaluated based upon the following:

· Equipment – Will be compared to commercially available pricing.

· Maintenance

· Software The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

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.
