EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1.1. Technical

1.2. Price

1.3. Past Performance

2. Offerors’ registration in SAM.gov will be verified and a review will be conducted to ensure that all aspects of the solicitation have been addressed. Failure to have an active registration in SAM.gov or failure to adhere to all requirements of the solicitation will result in the offer being labeled as non-responsive and not considered for award.

3. Basis for Award

3.1. The Government intends to award an Indefinite-Quantity Contract as a result of this solicitation.

3.2. The minimum award amount for this acquisition is based on CLIN 0001, Closed Circuit Television System Installation. The maximum is based on the aggregated total of CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001, 2001, 3001, 4001. The Government does not guarantee that it will place any orders under this contract in excess of the minimum award quantities associated with the CLIN 0001.

3.3. Per FAR 9.103, the contract will be placed only with an offeror that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible, that is, those who can satisfactorily perform the necessary tasks and deliver the required services on time. Prospective offerors, in order to qualify as sources for this acquisition, must be able to demonstrate that they meet standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. In addition, the Government may assess the offeror’s financial ability to meet the solicitation requirements. No award can be made to an offeror who has been determined to be not responsible by the Contracting Officer.

3.4. Consistency. Each section of the offeror’s quote shall be consistent within the quote.

3.5. Completeness. The Government’s ability to evaluate a quote may depend on the level of detail and supporting documentation provided. Insufficient supporting documentation or detail in a quote may prevent the Government from evaluating a quote.

3.6. The Government will assess the offeror’s quote on three factors: (1) Technical Capability, (2) Total Price

(TP) and (3) Past Performance.

4. EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

4.1. Evaluation of this factor will assess the offeror's proposed approach and understanding of the requirements and risk of unsuccessful performance of the proposed approach to technical capability in accordance with the PWS.

5. EVALUATION OF PRICE FACTOR

5.1. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3.

Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete, and are not unbalanced.

6. EVALUATION OF PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1. The evaluation of this factor will assess the risk of unsuccessful performance of the offeror’s proposed approach to performing efforts of a similar scope, magnitude, and complexity as the requirement described in the PWS.

6.2. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s past performance to determine the likelihood that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort described in the PWS.

6.3. Contracts submitted in the Past Performance section of the offeror's quote will not be considered if the Government determines them to be not recent, not relevant, or lacking any credible past performance information. If the offeror does not have a record of Recent and Relevant past performance information the offeror will be rated as "Neutral,” which is neither favorable nor unfavorable. Relevancy ratings will be assigned to each past performance reference using the following chart:

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

6.4. The offeror may also be evaluated on past contract performance information utilizing internal Government or private source information and the Government reserves the right to use any information received as part of its evaluation. The Government may contact any of the references the offeror provides and reserves the right to use any information received as part of its evaluation.

6.5. In evaluating the offeror's performance history, the Government may compare the offeror's deliveries or performance to the contract's original delivery or performance schedule, unless the delay was Government-caused. Schedule extensions that were the fault of the offeror, even if consideration was provided, may be counted against the offeror.

7.1 Price Reasonableness – The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Analysis of price quotes will be performed using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2) in order to determine price reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404- 1(b)(2). Proposals will also be evaluated for completeness. Incomplete proposals will be considered unawardable. The Government may also use other techniques as needed. To evaluate completeness, the Government will confirm all unit prices and rates in the Pricing Matrix (RFP Attachment XX), have a dollar amount, or rate proposed as applicable. Offerors shall provide rationale if any proposed unit price or rate is entered as zero in the Pricing Matrix (RFP Attachment 3).

7.2 Unbalanced Pricing – Offerors’ quotes will be reviewed for unbalanced pricing. The Government will evaluate any supporting information provided by the Offeror explaining variances that appear unbalanced, to include rationale for any CLIN price increase greater than 5% from one year to another, or any CLIN price decrease from one year to another. Evaluated offers that are determined to be unbalanced may be deemed ineligible for award by the Contracting Officer if a determination is made that lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated as demonstrated by application of price analysis techniques, such that: a) There is reasonable doubt the offer would result in the lowest overall cost to the Government, even though it is the lowest priced Offeror; or b) The offer is so grossly unbalanced; its acceptance would be tantamount to allowing an advanced payment.

7.3 Price Realism – Proposed pricing will be evaluated for price realism. This pertains to CLIN pricing as well as TEP. To be realistic, the proposed price must demonstrate an adequate understanding of and consistency with the requirement and must ensure the price does not pose an unacceptable risk to performance. All documentation submitted to support price realism will be considered in making a determination of price realism. To evaluate price realism, the Government intends to use one or more of the price analysis techniques described in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). The Government may also use other evaluation techniques, as needed.

7.4 Data Other than Certified Pricing Data – If requested by the CO, data other than certified pricing data shall be evaluated to support a determination of reasonable, balanced, and realistic pricing. This information will only be requested if all other sources have been insufficient to support a determination of reasonable, balanced, and/or realistic pricing.
