ATTACHMENT 03 - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Basis for Award:

1. Selection of the successful Offeror will be made following an assessment of each proposal against the solicitation requirements and the cited evaluation criteria. The criteria will be used to evaluate and assess the information provided by the Offerors in response to the information called for in Attachment 02 of the Solicitation.

2. The Government intends to award without discussions; however, the Government reserves the right to open discussions if it is deemed necessary. If the Government determines that discussions are necessary, the Government reserves the right to limit the competitive range for the purpose of efficiency.

3. The Government will evaluate each proposal strictly in accordance with its content.

4. Pursuant to FAR 9.103, contracts will only be awarded to contractors that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible. Offerors must be able to demonstrate that they meet the standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. The Government may conduct a pre-award survey on any Offerors considered for award, to assist in the Contracting Officer's determination of contractor responsibility.

Evaluation Factors and Sub-factors:

Award will be made to the offeror whose offer is determined to be Technically Acceptable, who provides the lowest Total Price, who is deemed responsible, and whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

a) Technical Factor: Subfactors are Technical Approach, Schedule, Quality Control

b) Price Factor

In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to award a contract against this solicitation without discussions.

Evaluation Approach for Each Factor and Sub-factor:

All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel in strict adherence to the evaluation criteria delineated within the solicitation. The Government will evaluate each Offeror against the solicitation criteria in strict accordance with proposal content. The Government will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the Offeror's proposal. Evaluators shall not consider or use as a basis for evaluation any assumptions, preconceived ideas, or personal knowledge or opinions not supported by material provided in the proposal.

The evaluation process will consider the adequacy of response for each proposal to determine whether the Offeror has completely satisfied the requirements specified in the solicitation. The evaluation process will also consider the feasibility of the Offeror's approach to successfully accomplish the solicitation requirements within the required schedule. Evaluation will be conducted at the subfactor level with an overall Technical factor rating assigned based on the individual subfactor ratings and findings. If any Technical subfactor is assigned an "Unacceptable" rating, the overall Technical factor rating will be "Unacceptable".

Only those offers determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. The Acceptable and Unacceptable rating descriptions are shown below.

Rating Description

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

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is un-awardable.
