52.212-2 Addendum Evaluation Factors for Award Administrative support for Future Concepts Facilitating and Training

TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:

BASIS FOR AWARD

This acquisition will utilize tradeoff selection procedures to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. In using the best value approach, the Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Air Force the greatest confidence that it will best meet or exceed our requirements affordably in a way that will be advantageous to the Government. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Government reasonably determines that the technical superiority and/or overall business approach and/or superior experience of the higher priced offeror outweighs the cost difference. However, the Government will under no circumstances make an award in an amount that exceeds the funds available for this effort.

To arrive at a best value decision, the Government will integrate the evaluations of the factors and subfactors described in this provision. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the tradeoff process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the selection process. The Government will only evaluate one proposal from each offeror. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to all required terms and conditions, includes all required representations and certifications, meets all requirements set forth in the RFP, and also provides the best value to the Government based on the results of the evaluation as described below. Contract terms and conditions consistent with customary commercial practices are specified in the solicitation/contract, with otherwise tailored terms and conditions specified in the Addendum to the solicitation/contract.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION

Each offeror’s written technical proposal shall be evaluated, based on the subfactors below, to determine if the offeror provides a sound, compliant approach that meets the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of those requirements.
