1. The Government intends to award a FFP contract, on a competitive basis, resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quotation represents the lowest price technically acceptable.

2. The Government will review all quotes for compliance with the RFQ, to include compliance with all instructions, provisions and clauses, and submission dates.

3. Quotes that receive an unacceptable rating for technical acceptability will not be considered for award. Quotes that do not meet all stated requirements of the solicitation may be considered non-responsive and may not be considered for award.

4. The compliant quotes will then be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach in accordance with the following factors below.

• Factor 1 : Technical Approach :

- Acceptability of this factor is based on an Offeror describing an adequate approach to addressing the below elements of the PWS. The submission shall document the Offeror’s processes and capabilities to demonstrate an understanding of the requirement and not just restate the PWS.

- The Offeror shall demonstrate an effective and sound approach:

Describe your process for completing 1.2 and 1.3 IAW the PWS in the allotted timeframe.

Describe how you will comply with all Federal, State, Local, and Peterson SFB, CO environmental Laws, Regulations, Instructions and Publications listed in the Service Summary (PWS paragraph 4.10 and Appendix 1)

The following table shall be used for the evaluation of Factor 1:

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

• Factor 2 : Price :

- Adequate price competition is anticipated and exists if two or more responsible offerors, competing independently, submit priced offers that satisfy the Government’s expressed requirements. Therefore, the Offerors’ total evaluated prices (TEPs) will be evaluated for price reasonableness. The TEP will be the only discriminator amongst Offerors for this factor. Price analysis shall be used to evaluate the price reasonableness of LPTA Offeror. The TEP includes all options inputted by the offeror in Attachment 2 and the six-month extension option (calculated by the government, based on the fourth option period).

- Offerors shall complete the CLIN Pricing Sheet contained within Attachment 2 (yellow cells ONLY). As per FAR 52.217-8, the Government may extend performance of any services unilaterally. The option to extend under this clause may be exercised at any point during the life of the contract and may be exercised more than once; however, the total extension of performance under this option shall not exceed six months. For pricing of FAR 52.217-8, it will automatically be calculated based on the Offeror’s pricing for Option Year 4 for evaluation purposes.

- The Government may compare Offeror’s TEP, compare TEPs to the Independent Government Estimate

(IGE), or may use other price analysis techniques per FAR 13.106-3(a). Evaluation of option prices shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

A tax exemption letter will not be provided for this acquisition please keep this in mind when preparing your quote.
