Under this factor, PHMSA will evaluate the price reasonableness of proposed rates, and the price reasonableness of total price.

***Evaluation Factor 1 (Technical Capability) is more important than Evaluation Factor 2 (Past Performance). Evaluation Factors 1 and 2, when combined, are significantly more important than

Evaluation Factor 3 (Price).***

Technical evaluations must utilize the ratings listed in Table 1.

Table 1. Technical Ratings:

Rating Description

Exceptional Quoter demonstrated exceptional understanding of the requirements under the solicitation. Quoter’s quote and samples demonstrates outstanding expertise in the required industry to be able to successfully provide items for the requirement detailed in the SOW. The quoter’s quote included outstanding features that meet or exceed on multiple dimensions the expectations of the Government. The risk of poor performance is very low.

Acceptable Quoter demonstrated acceptable understanding of the requirements under the solicitation. Quoter’s quote and samples meets government expectation in terms of expertise required in the industry to be able to successfully provide items for the requirement detailed in the SOW. The quoter’s quote included features that meet or exceed the expectations of the Government. The risk of poor performance is low.

Unacceptable Quoter does not fully understand the requirement under the solicitation. Quoter’s quote and samples do not meet government expectation in terms of expertise required in the industry to be able to successfully provide items for the requirement detailed in the SOW. The could not satisfy the sample requirements; major weaknesses or deficiencies were noted. The risk of poor performance is high.

Past Performance evaluations must utilize the ratings listed in Table 2.

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Rating

Rating Definition

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305

(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror must be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" must be considered "acceptable."

PHMSA intends to evaluate quotes and award a Firm Fixed Price Delivery Order without any discussion or negotiation. Accordingly, the offeror’s quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, PHMSA reserves the right to negotiate additional discounts if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.
