Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process outlined in FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3), where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

(1) Equipment Requirements. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating The vendor’s proposal demonstrates they meet the Wi-Fi and Virtual Bluetooth Low Energy (vBLE) cloud managed Wireless (Wi-Fi) and wayfinding solution (vBLE) technical requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement.

(2) Technical capability. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating The Vendor provides 24x7x365 technical support and on-site support within 24 hours i.e a requirement for emergency service. On-site support within maximum 24 hours – less time is better.

(3) Past Performance. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating The Government shall make an objective assessment of the Offeror’s current/past performance submitted as part of their proposal. It will conduct a performance acceptable assessment based on aspects of offeror’s past performance that are recent and relevant which focuses on experience within the last three (3) years in the hospital settings that are comparable in size as VASLCHS or larger which contain ICUs, Operating Rooms, and other critical care areas. They have to be relevant, similar in complexity, and magnitude requirements of solicitation. Performance that are not recent, relevant, similar in complexity or magnitude will be evaluated with unacceptable performance in this area.

(4) Mandatory Site Visit. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating.

(5) Price. The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line item prices, including all options. The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum.

Provide a copy of itemized pricing for verification purposes in excel sheet.

E.9 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) Basis for Award. The Government will issue a contract to the responsible quoter whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price, and other factors considered.

(b)The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

(1) Equipment Requirements. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating The vendor’s proposal demonstrates they meet the Wi-Fi and Virtual Bluetooth Low Energy (vBLE) cloud managed Wireless (Wi-Fi) and wayfinding solution (vBLE) technical requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement.

(2) Technical capability. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating The Vendor provides 24x7x365 technical support and on-site support within 24 hours i.e a requirement for emergency service. On-site support within maximum 24 hours – less time is better.

(3) Past Performance. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating The Government shall make an objective assessment of the Offeror’s current/past performance submitted as part of their proposal. It will conduct a performance acceptable assessment based on aspects of offeror’s past performance that are recent and relevant which focuses on experience within the last three (3) years in the hospital settings that are comparable in size as VASLCHS or larger which contain ICUs, Operating Rooms, and other critical care areas. They have to be relevant, similar in complexity, and magnitude requirements of solicitation. Performance that are not recent, relevant, similar in complexity or magnitude will be evaluated with unacceptable performance in this area.

(4) Mandatory Site Visit. Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating.

(5) Price The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line item prices, including all options. The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum.

Provide a copy of itemized pricing for verification purposes in excel sheet.

For the purposes of the award of this Contract, the Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 and 52.217-9 as follows:

The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but for no more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all proposals relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of proposals based on price, unless, after reviewing the proposals, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.

(c) Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process outlined in FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3), where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations. The information that shall be included in the quotation should be set forth in the quotation submission instructions (i.e., FAR Provision 52.212-1 and any addendum.
