In lieu of this provision, proposals will be evaluated on Technical Acceptability, Past Performance and Price as shown below. It is anticipated that a contract resultant of this solicitation will be awarded on a sole source basis to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, as the only known United States Naval Supply Weapons System (NAVSUP WSS) approved source for this requirement. Responsible contractors are limited to Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Support System (NAVSUP WSS) approved supply sources and must be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved source of supply for the overhaul of the gearboxes. Should the Government receive responsive offers from other responsible sources, award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror representing the best value to the Government.

Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section.

Past Performance: The Past Performance evaluation will assess the offeror’s ability to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the offeror’s demonstrated Past Performance.
