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

The following factors and sub-factors will be used to determine technical acceptability:

Factor #1 -Technical Capability of Item Offered

Subfactor #1 – Ability of Item to Meet Required Specifications - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offer must at a minimum, demonstrate adequate technical capability of the item offered to meet or exceed the item specifications.

Subfactor #2—Ability to Meet Delivery Schedule - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offeror shall provide a schedule for delivery that meets the desired delivery date.

Factor #2 -Past Performance

Subfactor #1- Recency and relevancy of present/past performance in relation to this effort - In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this subfactor, offeror must, at a minimum provide past experience on similar type contract(s). The past experience should indicate successes of the contractor in completing/meeting delivery dates and customer satisfaction.

The Government considers “recent” present/past performance to be within the past 3 years The Government considers “relevant” present/past performance to be present/past performance effort involved in similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror. Information obtained from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) database located at http//www.ppirs.gov is one of the sources that will be utilized. PPIRS functions as the central warehouse for performance assessment reports received from several Federal performance information collection systems and is sponsored by the DOD E-Business Office and administered by the Naval Sea Logistics Center Detachment Portsmouth.

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)), in the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability,“unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Factor # 3 -PRICE: Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror that is evaluated as “acceptable” for all non-price factors.
