Evaluation Factors for Award

Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items Addendum to 52.212-2(a): Paragraph (a) is tailored as follows:

(a) Basis for Contract Award. The Government intends to award one (1) Firm Fixed Price definitive Contract to for this competitive small business Set-Aside acquisition. Award will be made to the technically acceptable Offeror with lowest evaluated price who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104 and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation.

Unless specifically identified in your proposal, by submission of its offer, the Offerer accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined ineligible for award.

This acquisition will be awarded as Firm Fixed Price (FFP), definitive contract. It is the Government's intent to evaluate proposals and award a contract IAW FAR 13.106. FAR Part 15 based evaluations will NOT be used for this acquisition. The initial proposal should contain your best terms; however; the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer to resolve issues such as technical or price, or deal with contract documentation including any other matter in the evaluation process. The contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity to revise proposals.

Evaluation Process. The Government may consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of any proposal. The judgment of such "correctional potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. If any aspect of an offeror's proposal does not meet the Government's requirements and is not considered correctable, the offer may be ineligible for award. All technically acceptable proposals shall be treated equally except for their cost/price record. Offers will be ranked based on initial assessment of total overall evaluated prices, followed by a full evaluation of Technical Acceptability, then Price Reasonableness of the technically acceptable offer with the lowest evaluated price. Only proposals rated technically acceptable are eligible to receive an award.

1.1 Proposals. The Government will rank proposals based on an initial assessment of offeror's total evaluated prices, followed by a full evaluation of Technical Acceptability and Price Reasonableness as follows:

Rank by Total Evaluated Price (TEP) as submitted. The Government will rank all proposals by the initially proposed total evaluated price, from lowest to highest, including all ordering periods. An offeror's proposed estimated price will be determined by multiplying the estimated quantities by the proposed unit price for each CLIN. The extended amount for each CLIN will be totaled to obtain the estimated total for each performance period.

1.2 Technical Evaluation. If the Government receives three (3) or fewer proposals all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives more than three (3) proposals the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced proposals and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional proposals for technical acceptability if in the Government's best interest.

If additional proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability they will be selected in the order of total evaluated price.

1.3 Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be evaluated and receive one of the following ratings:

(i) Acceptable - The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) Unacceptable - The proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

FA301621R0031

1.4 Evaluation of Factors. Offerors are advised that their submission should be their best effort. Only technically acceptable proposals, either initially or as a result of interchanges, are eligible for award. If award is made without interchanges, proposal revisions will not be permitted. The Government will evaluate the proposals selected above for technical acceptability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. For the technical proposal to be rated as "Acceptable", all technical factors and sub factors must be rated acceptable. If any technical factor or sub factor is rated "Unacceptable" the overall proposal will be rated as "Unacceptable". The technical proposal will be evaluated for the following technical factors and subfactors:

(A) Technical Factor# 1 – Technical Plan.

Standard: The Offeror shall provide a detailed technical plan that includes: the approach, methodology and proposed solution to satisfy the requirements included in the Performance work statement. At a minimum, the plan should:

i. Include a statement that contractor will be able to mobilize within 1-2 calendar days after notice of award.

ii. Include a statement that contractor will be able to complete delivery and installation within 3-5 days of mobilization.

ii. Include how the contractor will install and maintain all lease equipment for the duration of the project, to include maintaining fuel levels during the lease agreement. Identify installation schedule/timeline addressing the start and completion of install for all kennels identified.

The standard has been met when: The offeror adequately demonstrates a sound, comprehensive, realistic, effective, and efficient management approach to provide and manage the appropriate workforce to achieve consistent, efficient, and uninterrupted operations in accordance with the requirements of the PWS.

2. The Government will conduct a complete Price Analysis using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 13.l 06, to determine if the lowest price technically acceptable offer is reasonable.
