Additionally, recommendations shall be qualified according to the quality of evidence.

It is the offeror’s responsibility to clearly demonstrate their submission meets the Technical Requirements/Statement of Work. The offeror shall clearly address each area of the Statement of Work.

B. Proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria:

• Compliance with Product Specifications (see attached SOW)

• Technical Acceptable/ Unacceptable

• Cost Lowest Overall Price

• Past Performance will be evaluated as it relates to Responsibility.

C. Evaluation Process: Award will be made based on the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

• Technical - The technical proposal will be evaluated by the Source Selection Evaluation Team in accordance with FAR 15.101-2. The offeror’s response will be evaluated on an acceptable / unacceptable basis. The proposals will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using non-cost/price factors.

• Past Performance - Past performance will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer only as it relates to Responsibility. It will be rated acceptable/unacceptable based on the offeror’s performance of services like this requirement but will not be ranked using non-cost/price factors. An offeror without past performance is considered Neutral and will receive an acceptable rating.

• Price - For evaluation purposes, price is defined as the offeror’s proposed price. Additionally, price is defined as the process of establishing a reasonable amount or amounts to be paid for supplies or services. The Contracting Officer will evaluate price independently. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors. The prices proposed will be evaluated in the base period and option periods in total. The award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) proposal. The Government has provided estimates but does not guarantee the volume of purchases of these services through this agreement. The quoter shall use the SF-1449 (see attachment named “15BNAS25Q00000039 "), statement of work and attachment 4 to provide the prices. The Government’s evaluation shall be inclusive of options. The quoter may offer varying prices for options, depending on the quantities estimated and the dates when ordered. Prices may be voluntarily reduced at any time. The Contracting Officer (CO) shall be notified immediately via e-mail whenever price reductions occur.
