You are limited to five (5) maximum files per upload (total size cannot exceed 2GB).

EVALUATION FACTORS

7.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to select for award the single responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation that proposes a price that is fair and reasonable, and that provides the Best Value to the Government. The selection will be based on evaluation of the following evaluation factors: Corporate Experience, Performance Confidence, Key Personnel, and Price.

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e. best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the following evaluation factors: Corporate Experience, Performance Confidence, Key Personnel, and Price.

The non-price factors are of equal importance as shown in Table 2 below.

The Government reserves the right to enter into discussions. In the event that discussions are not necessary then we intend to award without discussions, to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the best value.

The three Non-Price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Offerors, receiving an Unacceptable rating on any individual factor will not be considered for award.

Offerors are cautioned that award may not be made to the lowest price offered.

8.0 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, revised proposals, if necessary, and any information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any documents incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

Members of the SSEB will independently evaluate the information provided in the proposal. Once these individual evaluations are completed, the SSEB will deliberate and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor. It is the responsibility of each member of the SSEB to provide and document sufficient strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies to support the assigned rating for each factor.

The results of the SSEB evaluations will be presented to the Source Selection Authority. The SSA will determine whether it is appropriate to engage in clarifications, communications or discussions.

The ratings on individual factors, to include all support documentation, will be provided to the SSA.

The SSA, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will determine which offeror presents the best overall value to the Government and will be selected for award.

9.0 TECHNICAL RATING

The SST will use a combined technical/risk rating system that includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings.

Assessment of technical risk, which is manifested by the identification of weakness(es), considers potential for disruption of schedule, increased costs, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and/or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

Combined technical/risk evaluations shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in

Table 1A and the risk descriptions set forth in Table 1B.

Table 1A. Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Color Rating Description

Blue

Outstanding

Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple

Goo d

Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Table 1B. Technical Risk Rating Method

Adjectival Rating Description
