About this file
This document is a Basis for Award section outlining the evaluation and award criteria for a federal purchase order solicitation conducted under FAR Part 12 (Commercial Products and Services) using simplified acquisition procedures.
The Government will employ a comparative evaluation methodology without formal scoring, numerical ratings, or adjectival assessments, instead relying on professional business judgment to determine best value. Quotes will be evaluated across three primary factors: (1) Technical Capability, assessed through a maximum 5-page technical narrative addressing project requirements understanding, organizational approach, safety and sustainability considerations, permitting experience, and completion schedule; (2) Relevant Experience, requiring submission of at least two similar projects completed or ongoing within the past five years, with documentation including project name, dates, service descriptions, location, owner contact information, and total dollar value; and (3) Price, evaluated for reasonableness and overall value in conjunction with non-price factors. The Government reserves discretion to conduct initial price analysis and may award to the lowest-priced quote if it provides best value, or alternatively select a higher-priced quote if superior value is demonstrated through the evaluation factors. Final award selection will be made through integrated assessment of all factors, with the quote representing best overall value to the Government selected for award.

Basis for Award (Comparative Evaluation)
1. General
The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose submission is most advantageous to the Government, considering price and the evaluation factors identified below. This acquisition is conducted under FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, in conjunction with simplified acquisition procedures.
2. Evaluation Process
In accordance with FAR 12.203, the Government will use a comparative evaluation to assess quotes. A comparative evaluation involves directly comparing one quote to another to determine which provides the best overall value.
• No Formal Scoring: The Government will not use a formal evaluation plan, numerical scoring, or adjectival ratings.
• Professional Judgment: The Government will rely on its professional business judgment to determine whether technical advantages or more favorable terms (e.g., schedule, warranty, performance features) justify paying a higher price.
• Price Consideration: The Government may first conduct a price analysis. If the lowest-priced quote is determined to provide the best value, the Government may make award without further comparison.
• Best-Value Determination: The Government reserves the right to select a quote that is not the lowest priced if it provides superior value based on the evaluation factors.
3. Evaluation Factors
Quotes will be evaluated based on the following factors:
A. Technical Capability
The Government will assess the extent to which the quoter demonstrates the ability to meet the requirements of the Statement of Work. A technical narrative (maximum 5 pages) shall address:
1. Understanding of the project requirements, scope, location, and schedule.
2. Approach to organizing, staffing, and managing the contract, including methods and resources.
3. Understanding safety, sustainability, energy efficiency, and risk-management requirements.
4. Experience and approach to managing permitting processes.
5. A schedule demonstrating how the work will be completed within the Period of Performance.
B. Relevant Experience
Quoters shall provide at least two (2) similar projects completed or ongoing within the past five (5) years.
Each project description must include:
• Project name
• Start and end dates
• Description of services and project size/location
• Owner name and contact information
• Total dollar value
The Government will evaluate the relevance and quality of the quoter’s experience in performing similar work.
C. Price
The Government will evaluate the total evaluated price for reasonableness and overall value. Price will be considered in conjunction with the non-price factors to determine the quote most advantageous to the Government.
4. Award Decision
The Government will make an integrated assessment of all factors using comparative evaluation. The quote that represents the best value to the Government will be selected for award.
