Each Offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly and concisely describes the Offeror’s response to the requirements contained in the RFP. The Offeror shall not use general or vague statements such as “standard procedures will be used.” Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the Offeror's lack of understanding of the requirement. Cross referencing of the proposal to the requirements of the PWS is encouraged.

Offerors shall submit the following three (3) factors information for the proposal:

FACTOR 1 – Technical Approach

The Offeror shall submit a response to the PWS requirements that demonstrates a sound, thorough and viable technical approach that addresses all aspects of the PWS requirements, clearly and convincingly, demonstrating thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements and the capability to successfully perform all requirements.

(4) Any exceptions/assumptions taken with regard to the PWS, or any other aspect of the RFP, and any other information that the Offeror finds necessary and pertinent to their offer. However, proposals will not be incorporated into the contract award, therefore Offeror's are encouraged to submit questions.

FACTOR 2 – Past Performance

(1) The Offeror shall provide a minimum of two (2) recent and relevant past performance references (Federal, State, local government, and/or private).

Relevant past performance is work of a similar scope, magnitude and complexity to the services described in the PWS. In addition, references shall be provided for any proposed subcontractors. The following information is required for each reference submitted:

ii. Point of contact name, phone and email address

iii. Contract Number

iv. Contract Type (i.e., FFP, Cost, etc.)

If a PPQ is received late, i.e., after the closing date and time, the Government reserves the right not to consider the PPQ for evaluation. If the work referenced already has a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Report

(CPAR), the Offeror may submit a copy of the CPAR with their proposal in lieu of the

PPQ.

FACTOR 3 – Price

(1) The Offeror shall submit a completed copy of the “Price Breakout Schedule”

(Attachment 1), Contract Line Items (CLINs) 00001 through 40005 to support its technical proposal. The Offeror shall not change or edit the format or information as provided in the Attachment.

E.3. BASIS FOR AWARD

E.3.1. The Government intends to award a single Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Government will utilize the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors.

E.3.2. The following factors shall be used to evaluate proposals:

FACTOR 1 – Technical Approach: This factor will be evaluated for the degree to which the

Offeror’s technical approach demonstrates clearly their capacity to meet all the requirements outlined in the PWS 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1. This will include the evaluation of the understanding of the PWS, an evaluation of the course descriptions and outlines, course facilities, training aids, and the resumes' of personnel designated Key IAW HSAR 3052.215-70

FACTOR 2 – Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the Offeror’s recent and relevant past performance to determine the probability of successfully performing all requirements. The Government may review information obtained from any available source, such as the Offeror’s references, Past Performance Information Retrieval System

(PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and any other sources that may have useful and/or relevant past performance information.

FACTOR 3 – Price: Price will be evaluated to determine price fair and reasonableness based on the total evaluated price. The total evaluated price will be calculated by the Government based on the pricing submitted by the Offeror in Attachment 1, Price Breakout Schedule for services, to include the prices for the Base Year through Year Four. The Government may use any of the analysis techniques in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2) to ensure a fair and reasonable price.

Subcontracting Plan: The subcontracting plan will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis.

E.3.3. Evaluation Ratings:

The evaluation of Technical Approach will result in an overall rating as described in the table below:

Technical Approach Rating

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The evaluation of Past Performance will result in an overall rating as described in the table below:

Past Performance Ratings

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance.
