EVALUATION - COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Basis for Award: Comparative Evaluation

FAR 52.212-2 is not included in this solicitation. The Government intends to award a contract to the responsible offeror whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to represent the best value to the Government.

Evaluation Methodology

In accordance with RFO FAR 12.203 and FC 12.201-1, the Government will utilize a

Comparative Evaluation of Quotes process. Rather than rating or scoring each quotation individually against a predetermined evaluation rubric, the Government will compare all received quotations directly against one another to identify which submission offers the most advantageous solution.

Evaluation Factors for Comparison

The Government will compare quotations based on the following factors to determine which provides the best overall value:

Evaluation Factors:

• Technical Capability - the Government will compare the proposed features, methods, and technical solutions of each quotation directly against the others. The goal is to determine which proposed approach provides the greatest benefit, utility, and likelihood of successfully meeting or exceeding the outlined requirements.

• Price -the Government will compare the proposed prices to ensure they are fair and reasonable. Price will be evaluated in conjunction with the non-price factors to determine if the relative benefits of a specific quotation justify its proposed cost.

• Past Performance - the Government will compare the recent and relevant past performance records of the competing offerors. The Government may utilize the

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and other independent government or commercial sources to determine which offeror presents the lowest performance risk and the highest probability of success.

Selection Decision:

Because this is a comparative evaluation, the Government is not required to establish a predefined rating scale. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that is not the lowest priced if the direct comparison reveals that the technical superiority or stronger past performance of a higher-priced quotation provides a better overall value to the Government.

The final decision will be based on a documented rationale explaining why the successful quotation is the best value for the Government.
