FACTOR 1.docx

This is an evaluation factor document outlining technical certification requirements for a fire alarm service contract. Vendors must provide technical certifications that meet the requirements specified in the Statement of Work (SOW) for the systems covered under this contract. The document establishes that certifications will be verified for compliance with stated requirements.

The document further specifies that if vendors utilize a subcontractor's certifications to meet technical requirements, that same subcontractor must be retained for the duration of the contract. Any substitution of the subcontractor holding the required certifications requires written approval from both the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), with the substitution subject to a suitability determination. This provision ensures continuity of qualified personnel and maintains accountability for technical certification throughout contract performance.
