(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

EVALUATION CRITERIA

PRICE ALONE

Basis of Award:

A Price alone procurement is being conducted. As such, award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for the non-cost factor. Past Performance history will be considered for responsibility determination purposes only (FAR 9.104-1(c). The evaluation factors are as follows:

Factor 1-Technical Factor 2-Price

Under the ‘technical factor,’ each offeror’s responses will be evaluated on a ‘pass/fail’ basis or ‘acceptable/unacceptable’ basis. This determination will be based on the offeror demonstrating in its proposal a technical solution that minimally meets the technical requirements specified in the Solicitation’s Statement of Work.

Price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness.

Factor 1 – TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES: Offerors must submit relevant information demonstrating technical capability to satisfactorily perform the following requirement as expressed in the Statement of Work in the Solicitation Factor 2 – PRICE: Prices will be evaluated on the basis of price fairness and reasonableness.

*Note the government only intends on sending the lowest priced quote for technical evaluation. In the event the lowest priced quote is found not acceptable the second lowest quote will be sent for technical evaluation.
