(b) Selection Process

(1) Evaluations will be conducted under the procedures of FAR Part 13.

(2) The Government intends to establish a contract without exchanges with contractors. Consequently, Contractors are highly encouraged to offer their best technical and pricing quote in their initial submissions. However, the Government reserves the right to discuss submissions with any or all contractors submitting a technical and price quote, if it is determined advantageous to the Government to do so. This statement is not to be construed to mean that the Government is obligated to conduct exchanges. A Contractor may be eliminated from consideration for award without further exchanges if its technical and/or pricing quote/information is not among those Contractors considered most advantageous to the Government. In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the quotes will undergo a comparative evaluation to determine which vendor provides the best value to the government in terms of high technical capability and past performance, while also providing a competitive price.

(c) Quote Package Contents

If all three quote responses are NOT received, it may result in rejection or elimination of your quote, and will not be considered for award.

Price Lists at Section B shall be submitted fully completed and error free. It shall contain prices for the established Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) set forth in that section to include prices for the Period of Performance (and Option Periods).

(2) The quotes will be evaluated using the information submitted in the quote package addressing the technical criteria as identified in Addendum to FAR 52.212-2.

(3) Past performance will be reviewed to determine if the previous work was recent (within the past 5 years) and relevant (similar size and type of work). Past performance information will also be reviewed to determine the overall trend in the ratings of quality for previous contracts.

(4) When submitting pricing information, the contractor will provide a flat rate in accordance with the price schedule. In evaluating the contractor’s price, the Government’s determination will include whether the price reflects a clear understanding of the requirements, is consistent with the information provided in the contractor’s quote, and is reasonable in comparison with other quotes that have been submitted in response to the solicitation.
