• The Government will award one firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The government will issue award to the offeror whose proposal is the Lowest Price of those determined to meet at least the minimum requirements to be determined Technically Acceptable & Demonstrates Past

Performance.

It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient information for the Government to make a determination of your technical acceptability and price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine your technical acceptability or price may be cause for rejection of your quote.

Past Performance- The offeror shall provide documentation of satisfactory performance on past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed within the last 5 years, as well as, provide references, including names and contact information of references who can verify their past performance.

The Government’s approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e.

government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the offeror. Satisfactory past performance is defined as completion of the required work in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable contract. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will be evaluated as neutral on past performance, providing the offeror supplies a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. For the purposes of this evaluation, neutral past performance is equal to satisfactory past performance.
