Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

FAR 52.212-2 Addendum, Evaluation Methodology

M-1 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This requirement will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation is determined to represent the best value for the Government based on meeting price, technical acceptability & technical experience. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition tot hose identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. The offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and technical evaluation. An "unacceptable" rating in any factor will result in the overall technical quote being rated "unacceptable" and the quote will therefore be ineligible for award. The Government may at its discretion also utilize information available from Government Past Performance collection systems to compare offerors and use this information as a discriminator when identifying the offer that represents the Best Value. Quotes will be evaluated using FAR 13.106-2procedures which permit comparative evaluation of offers. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process is by its nature subjective. Therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

The following documents will be evaluated for completeness and compliance with the requirements of the RFQ. Please refer to the instructions in 52.212-1 Addendum. Incomplete items may be a basis for rejection:

1. Part I, Price

(a) Signed copies of the SF 1449 Solicitation / Contract / Order for Commercial Items document. Is the SF1449 completed and signed by an official authorized to bind the company? (Blocks 12, 17a, 26, 30a, 30b, 30c)

(b) Completed Section B, Price Schedule, SF1449. Is the price schedule accurately and completely filled in by the offeror?

(c) Solicitation Amendments (if applicable). Did the offeror acknowledge all amendments to the RFQ?

(d) System for Award Management (SAM) Registration. Has the offeror completed SAM registration and is the registration active? (Government will validate via SAM website)

2. Part II, Technical The offer shall consist of a detailed breakdown showing how all of the required specifications and characteristics listed on Attach 1 Statement of Work SONET Migration & Attachment 2 Brand Name Justification will be met. Any items that do not meet the example of the acceptable model/part number will need to have a detailed explanation accompanying the quote.

M-2 PRICE EVALUATION. Quotes will be ranked from lowest to highest Total Evaluated Price (TEP). An offeror's Total Evaluated Price will be determined by totaling the Amount for all CLINs. Offerors shall enter the TEP in Block 26 (Ignore the statement "For Govt. Use Only") of the solicitation SF 1449. The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the value in Block 26 of the SF 1449 is the total of all CLINS provided in the solicitation. (Note: To prevent rounding discrepancies, please ensure unit prices used for calculation are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. It is the responsibility of each contractor to verify their calculations.

Note: Due to funding limitations, any quote in excess of $300,000.00 shall be removed from consideration for contract award.

M-3 TECHNICAL EVALUATION.

The Government's technical evaluation shall evaluate the technical quotes on a pass/fail basis, assigning a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. An offer must be rated "acceptable" in order to be eligible for award. An "unacceptable" rating will result in the overall technical quote being rated "unacceptable" and the quote will therefore be ineligible for award. The Government will utilize the information provided by the offeror, along with information collected from other sources (i.e., other Government offices, commercial sources, etc.), in making a technical acceptability determination.

If an Offeror's technical quote is determined to be Technically Unacceptable, no further evaluation will be conducted. Offerors determined to be technically unacceptable shall be eliminated from consideration for contract award.

Once the quote is determined technically acceptable, a further review of technical experience shall be conducted. Offerors are advised to provide sufficient information to the Government in order to show how their technical experience meets or exceeds the Government's requirements.

TECHNICAL RATINGS

Acceptable- The offeror's quote meets all of the material requirements defined in Attachment 1 Statement of Work SONET Migration & Attachment 2 Brand Name Justification.

Unacceptable- The offeror's quote fails to meet the material requirements defined in Attachment 1 Statement of Work SONET Migration & Attachment 2 Brand Name Justification.

Acceptable- The Offeror' s past performance meets the minimum requirements stated in Attachment 1 Statement of Work SONET Migration

Unacceptable- The offeror's experience does not meet the requirements stated in Attachment 1 the Statement of Work SONET Migration

M-4 CONTRACT AWARD. The Government intends to award, without discussion, to the offeror whose quote represents the best value to the Government. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in 52.212-1 Addendum. Offeror's may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for quote revision. The Government intends to award a contract without interchanges with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct interchanges with one, none, or all offerors if deemed in its best interest.

M-5 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY. Prior to an award, an offeror may be requested to provide business information for the purpose of a responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Part 9. Failure to provide requested information may result in a determination of non-responsibility, and the offeror would then be considered ineligible for award.
