GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

CONTRACTOR intends to award a subcontract resulting from this RFP to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforming to the RFP will be most advantageous to the CONTRACTOR.

In addition to the evaluation of each Offeror’s proposal, CONTRACTOR will consider each Offeror’s adherence to the terms and conditions. All Exceptions and Deviations will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

8. EVALUATION METHOD – TECHNICALLY ACEPTABLE, LOW PRICE

This procurement will use an Acceptable/Unacceptable process to assess the technical merits of the proposal. Technical aspects of the proposal will be evaluated to determine if the Offeror’s proposal meets the criteria and RFP requirements. Award will be made to the low responsive, responsible Offeror meeting specifications and delivery under the required delivery date specified, unless no proposals are received which specify delivery by the required delivery date. In this event, CONTRACTOR reserves the right to make award to that responsive, responsible Offeror providing the earliest delivery whose proposal is most advantageous to the CONTRACTOR and the Government, price and other factors considered.

Technical Proposal – OFFEROR shall clearly demonstrate that the SPUTTER SYSTEM quoted meets the Mandatory Requirements set forth above by providing brochure, manufacturer’s specifications and other documentation as necessary.

CONTRACTOR will review pricing for completeness, reasonableness and realism. The purpose of the review will be to ensure, to the maximum extent feasible, that Offeror's proposed prices are complete and realistic in relation to the solicitation, and the technical proposals are reasonable in relation to known market pricing. Realism is the compatibility of the Offeror's proposed price with proposal scope and required effort. Completeness is the responsiveness of the offer in providing the areas of price required by the RFP and scope of work. All the cost information required by the RFP must be submitted. An unrealistic price proposal may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the Offeror does not understand the requirement or the Offeror has made an improvident proposal.
