OFFERORS ARE ADVISED THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 15.306(a)(3) and FAR 52.215-1, THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO EVALUATE PROPOSALS AND MAKE AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS.

Responsibility determination will be made in accordance with FAR 9.1, Responsible Prospective Contractors.
B.Technical Evaluations - All technical factors (other than cost or p0rice) and non-technical factors (Past Performance) when combined are approximately equal in importance to cost or price. Each technical factor will be weighted equally. All of the technical factors (project personnel experience, technical/management approach, corporate project experience & schedule) when combined are equal in importance to the non-technical factor (past performance). Offerors are advised that proposals may be rated lower or considered unresponsive if any of the information requested in the technical proposal requirements listed in paragraph C.3 is not provided. Technical factors are listed below (Technical Proposal Requirements as well as the Basis of Evaluation for each can be found in Section III, paragraphs C3.A.1. thru C3.A.5.)
