Section M – Evaluation Factors for Award

A contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Quotes will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-cost/price factors. In order to be eligible for award, offerors must receive a rating of “acceptable” in every non-price factor/subfactor. In the interest of economy and efficiency, the Government may start by evaluating the technical proposal of the lowest-priced offeror and will award to that offeror if the technical proposal is rated “technically acceptable”. If the lowest offeror receives a rating of “unacceptable” in any of the non-cost factors, the Government will then move on to evaluating the technical proposal of the next lowest offeror and so on until a proposal is rated “technically acceptable”. Therefore, the technical proposals of the non-low price offerors may or may not be evaluated.

The Factors and Subfactors below will be used to determine technical acceptability. Offerors must receive a rating of “acceptable” on all Factors considered for award.

Factor#1: Technical Approach

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this factor, offeror’s must achieve a rating of “acceptable” for all of the following subfactors:

Subfactor #1: Project Work Plan

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offeror must, at a minimum, provide a logical general project work plan indicating how you intend to accomplish the work. The project work plan must indicate how the work will be performed in accordance with the solicitation and drawings/specifications.

Subfactor #2: Progress Schedule

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offeror must, at a minimum, provide a proposed progress schedule outlining time frames and sequence of work for project completion. The delivery date should meet the project completion time requirements set forth in this solicitation but must also be realistic and achievable.

Subfactor #3: Quality Control Plan

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offeror must, at a minimum, provide an acceptable Quality Control Plan that demonstrates how your company will assure quality meets the requirements of the drawings/specifications and solicitation terms and conditions.

Factor #2 Experience

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable for this factor, offeror must, at a minimum, provide at least three references for relative related projects completed within the past three years. References should include a Point of Contact Name, Phone Number and project description.

Past performance will not be an evaluation factor for this task announcement; however, the offeror must have an adequate performance record in order to be determined “responsible” for award, in accordance with FAR 9.104-3.
