INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS:

All questions shall be sent via email; no verbal or faxed questions will be addressed by the Contracting Officer. Responses to relevant questions will be answered by amendment to the solicitation.

All required documentation regarding certification and registrations required to perform these services shall be submitted with the quote.

All price quotes shall include a narrative Past Performance statement, which will document three (3) recent (within 3 years) and relevant (of similar size and scope) contract references for same/similar jobs including Point of Contact (name and telephone number). This capability statement of performance is limited to three pages with 11pt font.

Contractor shall accept both Government purchase cards and Government purchase orders.

BASIS FOR AWARD;

Offers will be evaluated on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis. Award shall be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote that meets the solicitation requirements based on the pass/fail evaluation by technical experts against the following Technical Evaluation Criteria; ensure sufficient narrative is provided with the quote to determine acceptability:

1) Whether the offer meets or exceeds all requirements of the Statement of Work and solicitation; and

2) Whether the vendor’s past performance submission indicates an acceptable level of performance has been demonstrated on recent and relevant work.

The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

Initially, quotes shall be ranked according to price, including option prices if applicable. An offeror’s quoted price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the pricing schedule by the proposed unit price for each contract line item to confirm the extended amount for each item. The extended amounts will be added together to determine the total evaluated price.

Next, the lowest priced offer shall be evaluated for technical acceptability. Technical acceptability shall be evaluated on a pass/fail basis considering technical evaluation criteria stated above.

If the lowest priced offer is determined technically acceptable, that offer represents the best value to the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

If the lowest priced offer is not determined technically acceptable, the next lowest priced offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability and the process will continue in order by price until an offer is judged technically acceptable.
