SECTION M--EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 AWARD DETERMINATION

The Government will issue an order as a result of this Request for Quotations to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value to the government, price and other factors considered.

The Government may reject any or all quotes, issue orders to other than the lowest quote, and waive minor informalities or irregularities in quotes received. If necessary, the Government may conduct discussions with any or all quoters. Award may be made without discussions so quotes should be submitted as best and final offer.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

a) Technical Capability (Viewed as a measure of contractor’s relevant experience and past performance)

b) Price

Past performance is a measure of the degree to which a quoter, as an organization, has: (1) satisfied its customers, and (2) Met required delivery date(s). The Government may inquire about the following elements, which are all of equal importance in relation to each other, (1) quality of the offeror’s work; (2) customer satisfaction; (3) timeliness of the Firm during performance and the final completion of the project; and (4) overall business relations.
