D/B contractor shall also account for VA Infection Control and Interim Life Safety Measures as required by work scope. A schematic architectural layout and proposed pharmacy equipment product data developed during pre-design charettes with VA Pharmacy staff will be provided to the Phase II offerors as a basis for further design development.

C. Loch Raven VA Medical Center, Baltimore, MD is an active hospital and therefore will require consideration to those areas with patient and staff. The Contractor shall be responsible for the administration and management of all aspects of the scope of work, specifications and drawings. This includes responsibility for all Contractor employees, subcontractors, agents and anyone acting for or on behalf the Contractor. The Government is authorized to restrict access to Government property those individuals that are identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well-being, or operational mission of the Medical Center and its population. The parties agree that the Contractor’s personnel working as a result of this contract shall not be considered VA employees for any purpose and shall be employees of the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for SECURITY. Contractors shall not be allowed access to any VA personnel or VA patients Personal Health Information (PHI) or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall not connect contractor-owned IT devices to a VA internal trusted (non-public) network. Computer certification and accreditation requirements do not apply.

B. Source Selection Procedures

1. Source Selection Overview: In accordance with FAR 15.3, the objective of source selection is to select the proposal that represents the best value. A contracting officer is designated as the source selection authority (SSA), unless the agency head appoints another individual. The SSA establishes an evaluation team that includes appropriate contracting, legal, and technical expertise to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of offers. The award decision is based on evaluation factors and significant sub-factors that are tailored to the acquisition. The factors represent the key areas of importance and emphasis to be considered in the source selection decision; and support meaningful comparison and discrimination between and among competing proposals.

2. Evaluation: The proposal evaluation is an assessment of the proposal and the offeror’s ability to perform the prospective contract successfully. The technical, price, and source selection boards will evaluate competitive proposals and then assess their qualities solely on the factors and subfactors specified in the solicitation. Evaluations will be conducted using adjectival ratings. The relative strengths, deficiencies, significant weaknesses, and risks supporting proposal evaluation shall be documented in the contract file.

Standard Definitions

Evaluation Scale for Factor 3 –Firm’s Past Performance

3. Past Performance: Past performance information is one indicator of an offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully. The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance shall be considered. This comparative assessment of past performance information is separate from the responsibility determination required under FAR Subpart 9.1.

4. Tradeoff Source Selection: If tradeoffs are performed, the source selection records shall include an assessment of each offeror’s ability to accomplish the technical requirements; and a summary, matrix, or quantitative ranking, along with appropriate supporting narrative, of each technical proposal using the evaluation factors.

5. SSA’s Final Decision: The SSA’s decision shall be based on a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation. While the SSA may use reports and analyses prepared by others, the source selection decision shall represent the SSA’s independent judgment. The source selection decision shall be documented, and the documentation shall include the rationale for any business judgments and tradeoffs made or relied on by the SSA, including benefits associated with additional costs. Although the rationale for the selection decision must be documented, that documentation need not quantify the tradeoffs that led to the decision.

6. Source Selection for this procurement:

a. Phase I of this procurement will result in a narrowing of offerors to a maximum of three (3) firms in accordance with FAR 36.303-1 based on the following technical evaluation factors listed in descending order of importance:

Phase II Proposals will be evaluated and award will be made on the basis of both price and technical considerations most advantageous to the VA as per FAR Part 15.101(a), Tradeoff, as the Government may consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror if it is in the best interest of the Government.

B. TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS, PHASE I & PHASE II: The basis of evaluation for the Phase I & Phase II technical evaluation factors is located within Part III, Section C with each evaluation factor. The Phase I factors are not to be resubmitted in Phase II; however, the cumulative rating from the Phase I factors carries through to Phase II and is as equal in importance to Phase II, Factor 4 for proposal evaluation. Phase II evaluation technical factors (Factors 4 – 7) are in descending order of importance. The Phase I and Phase II technical evaluation factors, when combined, are approximately equal to price. Offerors are advised the Tradeoff process is determined to be in the best interest of the Government and award may be made to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror (Reference FAR 15.101-1).

C. Phase II Non-Technical Factor 7, Price

1. Phase II, Factor 7, Price: Offerors are advised the Tradeoff process (Reference FAR 15.101-1) is determined to be in the best interest of the Government and award may be made to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror.
