EVALUATION CRITERIA

W9127Q-25-R-A001 Medical Screenings

A. Basis of Award: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

The award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal in accordance with FAR part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-price Factors (and Subfactors). In order for an Offeror to be considered for award, the proposal must receive an “Acceptable” rating in every non-price Factor. A proposal receiving a rating of “Unacceptable” in any non-price Factor will not be eligible for award.

The evaluation criteria detailing the Factors and Subfactors for Medical Surveillance Exam Services are detailed below and incorporated in this RFP by reference. Each Sub-factor is of equal importance. Each technical sub-factor within each factor is of equal importance.

B. Evaluation Criteria Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub-factors described below. Proposals shall be clear, concise and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements.

The following evaluation factors and sub-factors should be in each proposal package and will be used to evaluate each proposal:

1. Section I – Combined Synopsis/Solicitation and Pro Forma Documents, including Certifications and Representations as necessary – All potential offerors are required to be registered in the System for Award Management and be publicly visible prior to proposal submission. See FAR Provision 52.204-7 System for Award Management at http://www.sam.gov. Further, all Offeror representations and certifications must be current and accurate in the System for Award Management at the time your proposal is submitted in response to this combined synopsis/solicitation.

This section shall provide an introductory page to include offeror’s demographic information, SAM.gov Entity Unique Identifier (EUI), Tax Identification Number (TIN), points of contact, authorized negotiators, contact phone, and email addresses. Also, include business socioeconomic status, e.g., small business, woman-owned small business, HUBZone small business, etc. As well as overall required office certifications that indicate authorization to operate as a medical clinic.

2. Section II - Price Offering The resulting award will be a Firm-Fixed Price contract awarded for a 60-month ordering period. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort. Adjectival ratings shall not be used for offerors’ Price proposals.

This Section shall be organized as follows: Offeror shall provide a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), for each Line-Item Number of Attachment 2: Proposal Form Medical Exam Svs in the Combined Synopsis/ Solicitation package. The FFP shall include all costs of all labor, materials, mailing/shipping, etc, required to perform that test.

Offerors shall provide all price/cost information necessary to provide a meaningful basis for Government's analysis and evaluation of price/cost for the project set forth in the Evaluation Criteria of this solicitation. The Government is not, and does not intend on, requesting certified cost or pricing data. However, after receipt of proposals the Contracting Officer determines that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions at FAR 15.403-1 apply, the Offeror may be required to submit cost or pricing data.

Additionally, if adequate competition is not obtained, the Contracting Officer may incorporate FAR 52.215-20 entitled, “Requirements for Cost or Pricing Data or Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data,” into the solicitation and request a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data.

There are no page limitations for this part. Proposal information included in this part which is not directly related to Cost will be disregarded.

3. Section III – Technical Capabilities The offeror's technical proposal shall be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis.

Offerors who rate unacceptable in Technical will be removed from further consideration for award. Price will be evaluated to determine reasonableness of the proposed price.

Unreasonable Offers shall not be selected for award.

TECHNICAL ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE RATINGS

Rating Definition Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

4. Past Performance Information Though Past Performance information is not requested for this requirement, Offerors are advised that the Government may use all data obtained from other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program/Project Managers and Contracting Officers or rely upon personal business experience with the offeror. The Government reserves the right to obtain and evaluate past performance information from any source it deems appropriate.
