SECTION M

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

A. INTRODUCTION:

1. This acquisition will utilize Lowest Priced procedures restricted to technically qualified “Approved Source” offeror(s) This acquisition shall use price as the only evaluated factor

2. The government intends to award the requirement(s) represented in this solicitation to one awardee. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all.

B. EVALUATION FACTORS AND PROCEEDURES:

1. The government shall evaluate proposals based on the evaluation factor below:

Factor 1- Price

The Offeror’s price will be evaluated based upon the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Offeror’s Price Proposal will be evaluated for the criteria of Price Reasonableness and Balance.

Price Reasonableness: The proposed prices will be evaluated for Price Reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it will represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For additional information see

FAR 31.201-3.

Balance: The Government may also determine a proposal unacceptable should the proposed prices be unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more items/Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques as those defined by FAR 15.404-1.

Total Evaluated Price (TEP): A TEP will be calculated for evaluation of offers to determine the lowest priced proposal. Because the exact quantities of minor and major repairs cannot be determined at time of award a TEP will be established for evaluation purposes. The TEP calculation will consist of the summation of all TT&E line items (quantity multiplied by proposed price). Next, the government will determine a notional quantity for both the minor and major repair line items and multiply those quantities by the respective proposed prices.

Note, the notional quantities will not be the same as the quantities listed in the solicitation. Once all prices have been calculated they will be summated to arrive at the TEP.

2. All offerors represented as a large business under NAICS 811219 are required to submit their subcontracting plan IAW FAR 52.219-9 as part of their proposal package. If the offeror is determined to be the successful offeror then the subcontracting plan shall be negotiated and included as an attachment to the contract.

3. Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions: In addition to meeting the identified factor above, Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and required delivery schedules.

Furthermore, all Offeror’s shall be listed as an approved source in the Government’s Screening Analysis Worksheet Form 761 or 762 prior to contract award.

A qualification package request is attached to this solicitation for those contractors who are not already qualified; however, per FAR 9.202(e), the government reserves the right not to delay contract award in order to provide a potential offeror with an opportunity to demonstrate its ability to meet the standards.

4. The process for the evaluation of proposals is as follows:

a. This award will be made to the offeror that submitted the proposal with the lowest

Total Evaluated Price, is a qualified source, and met all other terms and conditions referenced in the solicitation.

b. Past performance record and history will be assessed as one of the multiple standards required for a successful offeror to be determined responsible as described in FAR 9.104. Contractors shall meet the required delivery dates, as well as the terms and conditions in this solicitation, to be determined responsible.
