Factor 1 – Technical Capabilities Factor 2 - Management Capabilities Factor 3 – Relevant Skills/Experience Factor 4 – Past Performance Factor 5 – Price

Factors 1 through 4 are referred to as the Technical Factors. Factor 5 is a Price Factor that will be evaluated separately. In addressing the evaluation factors above, the Offeror shall demonstrate the following:

13.1 Factor 1 – TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES

Evaluation of this factor will be based on information contained in the technical proposal that demonstrates the degree of the Offeror's understanding of the requirements. The evaluations will be based on determining whether the:

Offeror demonstrates a complete understanding of each task identified in the solicitation.

Offeror addresses technical aspects of the proposal according to instructions on

Section 5

Offeror’s proposed management and/or delivery procedures will likely result in a successful contract.

Offeror’s methods for staffing, managing personnel, subcontracting (if applicable), managing priorities, task monitoring, and decision making processes.

13.3 FACTOR 3 – RELEVANT SKILLS/EXPERIENCE

The Government’s intent is to determine whether the Offeror has performed services on contracts consistent in scope and complexity with the requirements set forth in the Section 5.

This factor will be evaluated on the basis of the Offeror’s relevant similar experience during the past three (3) years.

Similar experience references shall not exceed 10 total pages and shall include the following:

Name of contracting activity

Contract Type

Contract Work

Name of Contracting officer, telephone number, and email address

The Offeror will be evaluated on performance under existing and prior contracts for similar products or services. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration.

The contractor shall submit detailed narratives describing relevant Government and/or corporate past performance within the past three (3) years. The narrative must include a description of how the Contractor planned, executed, and assured the quality of its services from start to finish.

SturdiliteTechnical Benches contacted by the Government, for the purpose of using the information received in the evaluation of the Offeror's past performance.

13.5 Factor 5 – PRICE FACTOR

1. The proposed Price will be evaluated. The evaluation will determine whether the proposed Price/Rates are complete, fair and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements and whether they demonstrate an understanding of the requirements of the solicitation. Proposed Price/Rates must be entirely compatible with the technical proposal.

2. The Government may use the results of cost/price realism analysis to adjust the

Offeror'sproposal to a most probable cost to the Government. This may include information from a government auditing agency, Government technical personnel, and other sources.

3. The price evaluation will include price realism, price completeness and accuracy, price reasonableness and price risk. Price Evaluation Factors will be evaluated as follows:

13.5.1 Price Realism

The Offeror is placed on notice that any proposal that is unrealistic in terms of technical commitment or unrealistically low in cost(s) and/or price will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of contract requirements, and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.

13.5.2 Price Completeness and Accuracy

The Government will review the cost proposal for completeness and accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the Offeror has properly understood the price proposal instructions and properly completed the rate schedules. The Offeror’s proposal will be checked for mathematical correctness in all computations.

13.5.3 Price Reasonableness

An evaluation of the Offeror’s price proposals will be made to determine if the proposed rates are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the technical solution. Reasonableness determinations will be made by comparing the Offeror’s rates to: published market rates; independent Government cost estimate(s); rates for similar services obtained through previous contracts or market research under like terms and conditions, as well as other competitive offers.

SturdiliteTechnical Benches

13.5.4 Price Risk

Price risk refers to any aspect of the Offeror’s proposal that could have significant negative cost consequences for the Government. Proposals will be assessed to identify potential price risk. Where price risk is assessed, it may be described in quantitative terms or used as a best-value discriminator.

14. Relevant Importance of all factors

Once technical evaluation factors are met, price will be the most important factor.

15. Basis for Award: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable

The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. The

Government will make award to the contractor whose offer is technically acceptable with the lowest evaluated price. The Government reserves the right to make a selection based upon the initial proposal submissions so the offeror should submit its best terms in its initial proposal. Discussions will not be held. The Government will allow exchanges after receipt of proposals in accordance with FAR 15.306. The Government may also determine to make no award if it is in the best interest of the Government
