Evaluation Criteria – Service (Tradeoff)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price.

The Technical element of the evaluation will first be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and/or objectives in the solicitation. Those offers that meet or exceed the stated performance characteristics and/or objectives will then be evaluated in terms of technical aspects above the minimum requirements that would be most beneficial to the Government. In particular, the Government is willing to trade-off on price for offerors that exceed the following performance work characteristics/objectives and/or period of performance:

1. Experience with company and/or employees in repairing similar work load comparable with the APG equipment list.

1. Experience with company and/or employees in responding within 4 clock hours of emergency for repair of equipment.

1. Experience with company and/or employees in responding within 24 clock hours of normal repair of equipment.

1. Experience with company and/or employees in meeting the timeframes for performing semi-annual and annual inspections of the type of equipment at the ALC center.

The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, processes or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the proposed effort meets or exceeds the performance characteristics and/or objectives of the requirement.

Past performance will be evaluated based on information provided by the offeror as to actual sales of the proposed effort to industry or Government agencies. Past performance will consider the ability of the offeror to meet characteristics/ objectives, delivery schedules (with warranty fulfillment and maintenance reputation included as applicable). Offerors shall include five records of sales from the previous 36 months. Offerors shall identify a point of contact for each sale by providing a name and telephone number.

Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price, including options, (if any).

Technical and past performance are of equal importance and when combined are significantly more important than price. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest price and to award without discussions.
