Each Offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly and concisely describes the Offeror’s response to the requirements contained in this solicitation. The Offeror shall not use general or vague statements such as “standard procedures will be used”.

Cross referencing of the proposal to the requirements of the Performance Work Statement is encouraged. Offerors shall submit the following information for the proposal:

Volume 1: Technical Capability: The Offeror shall provide the following in its Volume 1 to be considered responsive: a technical capability that demonstrates the Offeror understanding of and capability to perform the requirements set forth in the PWS. Please note that simply repeating the PWS requirements may render the Offeror’s proposal technically unacceptable. It is the obligation of the Offeror to fully explain how it intends to thoroughly meet all PWS requirements.

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

D.3. BASIS FOR AWARD

D.3.1 The Government intends to award a single award Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract with a five-year ordering period using the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) acceptability standards for non-price factors.

D.3.2 Evaluation. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. The Government will evaluate all proposals in ascending order from lowest price to highest. Once the Government has identified the Lowest Priced technically acceptable proposal no further proposals will be evaluated. The following evaluation factors will be utilized in determining the proposal for award on a LPTA basis in descending order of importance:

a. Factor 1: Technical Capability. Technical capability will be evaluated to determine the degree to which the Offeror effectively demonstrates the capability of meeting the requirements of the PWS, based upon the evaluation of the Offeror’s technical approach. The offeror’s technical approach must demonstrate thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements and the capability of successfully meeting all requirements. Offerors that merely state compliance with the PWS requirements or re-state the PWS requirements in a fashion that does not clearly demonstrate the Offeror’s approach to successfully completing the requirements may be rated as “Unacceptable”.

The following table shows the possible ratings for technical capability.

Factor 1 – Technical Capability Ratings

b. Factor 2: Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will review the Offeror’s recent and relevant past performance information to assess the Offeror’s 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.

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

Past Performance Rating

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…
