Attachment 2

Technical Evaluation Criteria

The Government shall evaluate all quotations submitted in response to this solicitation in accordance with FAR Part 13 procedures. This evaluation will include verification that the Quoter has conformed to all of the solicitation’s requirements and a determination that the Quoter is responsible.

The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quotation represents the best value as defined in FAR 2.101 – price and technical factors considered. It may use the tradeoff source selection process in making this determination.

The technical factors combined are significantly more important than cost or price, however, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher price to the to achieve only slightly superior performance. Price may become the most significant factor for award as quotes become more equal based on other factors.

Technical Factors

Scored technical evaluation factors are listed in the order of their relative importance with points assigned for evaluation purposes. The maximum total score possible is 100 points.

1. Technical Capability (60 pts) The offeror has demonstrated that it has the available resources to meet the requirements outlined in the scope of work for the duration of the agreement. The offeror has demonstrated its capability to identify a list of critical spare parts for each machine and demonstrated a satisfactory plan for keeping an inventory of critical spare parts on-hand. The offeror has demonstrated that it has the technical expertise and experience to provide efficient and timely repair and service to the automated cage bedding handling system as outlined in the statement of work.

2. Key Personnel (20 pts) The offeror has demonstrated that it has existing telephone support and field service technicians that are technically proficient to provide the level of service required in the scope of work in a laboratory animal facility environment described in the SOW.

3. Past Performance (20 pts) The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s past performance of similar projects. The quoter shall provide a list of two (2) past performance references with knowledge of your relevant skills and experience related to the requirements outlined in the SOW. The Quoter shall include the following information in their past performance examples:

• Name of Organization

• Description of Contractor’s responsibilities as they relate to the SOW

• Contract Period of Performance

• Point of contact name, title, address, phone number, and email address

Price Evaluation

Each Quoter’s price will be evaluated for reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must 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 price analysis techniques as described in FAR 13.106-3. Quoters must provide a total time and materials price (inclusive of all options) for completion of the work described in the SOW to be considered for award.

Evaluation of Options

It is anticipated that any contract awarded from this solicitation will contain option periods. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
