The following Non-Price and Price Factors shall be used to determine the product provider whose Quote represents the best overall value to the Government:

Non-Price Factor 1: Technical Functionality / Quality

Non-Price Factor 2: Past Performance

Price Factor: Price Quote

When combined, Non-Price Factors are equally important to Price in this Best Value / Trade-Off

Evaluation.

EVALUATION OF NON-PRICE FACTOR 1: TECHINICAL FUNCTIONALITY / QUALITY

Technical Functionality / Quality is the extent to which the quoted products conform to the Statement of

Work (SOW) contained in this RFQ. The Technical Functionality / Quality Rating will be based on the extent to which the Quote demonstrates:

OWF Portable Instructor Studio

EVALUATION OF NON-PRICE FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government will evaluate the Quoter’s Past Performance using an assessment based on information obtained via any method the Contracting Officer deems necessary including:

• Using information provided on Attachment A: Past Performance References

• Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) – a Governmentwide Database

• System for Award Management (SAM.gov)

• Other sources as needed

• History of fulfilling Orders successfully, including timely delivery and installation

• Customer product satisfaction

• Customer support satisfaction

The lack of recent and relevant past performance information will result in the assignment of a Neutral rating (i.e. neither favorable nor unfavorable) for this factor.

The Government shall use the following Confidence Ratings to evaluate the Non-Price Factor 2: Past

Performance:

Factor 2: Past Performance

Confidence Ratings

Rating Description

High Confidence The Government has high confidence the Quoter will successfully provide the required product based on the analysis of the Quoter’s past performance record.

EVALUATION OF PRICE FACTOR: PRICE QUOTE

The Government will evaluate the reasonableness of the Quoter’s Price quote, in part, to determine the overall best value. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by reviewing total price. The

Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if prices are significantly unbalanced.

RFQ 140D0425Q0401

OWF Portable Instructor Studio

The Price quote will be evaluated to ensure that quoted prices are fair and reasonable. The Price Factor will not receive an adjectival rating. Price will be evaluated based on the Quoter’s price assumptions, an analysis of the overall price and components of the overall price, and for price reasonableness. The price quote will be evaluated separately from the Technical Quote.

The Government intends to make a single award for the requirement. Submission of a quote implies the

Contractor agrees to the terms and conditions in this document.

The Government reserves the right to not issue an award from this RFQ. This is an RFQ only and in no way obligates the Government to award a Purchase Order or to reimburse the Contractor for any costs incurred in preparing the response to this RFQ.
