5. Evaluation Criteria IAW FAR IAW FAR 52.212-2 and 13.106-1(a)(2)

The Government intends to award to the responsible offeror whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, considering:

1. Price

2. Boat Captain credentials – Applicable qualifications, licenses, or certifications to operate Mark VI patrol boats or appropriately similar vessels.

3. Past Performance – Past performance information on government or civil contracts for the execution of similar ferries, training plans, and/or maintenance program development for the MK VI or vessels of equivalent size and performance. Mark VI patrol boat experience is heavily desired. However, lack of past performance information from a quoter does not preclude an award from being made.

4. Preliminary float plan – Prepared IAW Section 3 of this Solicitation to ensure feasibility of delivery of vessels within required timelines. No specific format or level of detail for this preliminary plan is prescribed. This document is for evaluation purposes only and does not relieve any awarded contractor from the requirement to provide a detailed Voyage Plan IAW with the DOS to be reviewed and approved prior to departure.

8. Additional Information

National Guard Agency Protest Program NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard (NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods as if filed at the GAO. The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency’s Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures.

To be timely, the protests must be filed with the periods specified in FAR 33.103. To file a protest under the NG Agency Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below:
