2. Prior Experience

The Prior Experience evaluation factor is approximately equal to Price.

Basis for Award

1. Price will be evaluated to determine if it is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 13.106-3.

https://www.sam.gov/SAM/pages/public/index.jsf

High Confidence The Government has high confidence based on the Vendor’s prior experience that they will be successful in performing contract requirements with little or no Government intervention.

Some Confidence The Government has some confidence based on the Vendor’s prior experience that they will be successful in performing contract requirements with some Government intervention.

Low Confidence The Government has low confidence based on the Vendor’s prior experience that they will be successful in performing contract requirements even with Government intervention.

Discussions: The Government intends to award a purchase order without discussions with respective vendors.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
