2. Evaluation Factors

Pursuant to FAR 12.602 contract award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106. Vendor submissions will be evaluated based upon the following evaluation factors and subfactors:

Factor 1 – Technical Approach

Subfactor 1.1: Delivery Shedule Subfactor 1.2: Quality Requirements Subfactor 1.3: Technical Experience

Factor 2 – Price

2.1 Factor 1 - Technical Approach

Within the Technical Approach, all subfactors are of equal importance and each will receive their own rating. No overall technical approach rating will be assigned. The following adjectival ratings (Table 1) will be used to annotate the technical evaluations and will form the basis of the assignment of ratings for each subfactor (1.1 through 1.3).

(a) Sub-factor 1.1, Delivery Shedule:

This subfactor will evaluate a vendors ability to meet the delivery timeline as described and required in the Statement of Need. To be considered responsive to this solicitation, the vendor must provide the following:

- Provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology to be used to meet shedule requirements outlined in the SON.

Table 1-Technical Subfactor Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Vendors response meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Vendors response does not meet the requirements of the solicitation .

(b) Subfactor 1.2, Quality Requirements:

This subfactor will evaluate the vendors understanding of “Minimum Quality Requirements” as described and required in the Statement of Need. To be considered responsive to this solicitation, the vendor must provide the following:

- Address your technical solution for meeting or exceeding the Government’s minimum quality requirements outlined in the SON

(c) Subfactor 1.3, Technical Experience:

This subfactor will evaluate the vendors past technical experience. To be considered responsive to this solicitation, the vendor must provide the following:

- Provide samples of two projects your company has completed within the last five years from the date of this solicitation that, in the aggregate, reflect your company’s ability to perform the work outlined in the Statement of Need. For each sample project vendor must identify a contracting and/or technical point of contact along with email address, phone number, and title. The Government reserves the right to use both the information provided and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the MQS MILDEPT report, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and commercial sources and/or non-Government sources to evaluate this subfactor. Information obtained that reflects poor, inadequate or unsatisfactory performance quality may result in an “unacceptable” subfactor rating.

2.2 Factor 2 - Price

Quotes will be evaluated for price completeness, reasonableness and balance and receive an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” rating as specified below in Table 2. The quoted price will be evaluated for the entire effort.

(a) Completeness. The quote will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The vendors quoted price and other information will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the technical volume between the initial quote and any revisions thereto (if applicable). The review will determine the adequacy of the Offeror’s quote in addressing and fulfilling the solicitation requirements.

(b) Reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive

& Appendix 19.

business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a).

(c) Unbalanced pricing. Vendors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one (1) or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze quotes to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or sub-line items. A quote that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

2.3 Basis for Award

Comparative Analysis. Following receipt of responses to this solicitation, the Government will perform a comparative analysis (comparing vendor quotes to one another) in order to select the vendor that is best suited to fulfill the requirements of the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government. All quotes will initially be evaluated and rated based on the vendors responses to the factors/subfactors. The Government will then compare evaluated vendor quotes against one another and make an award decision consistent with the evaluated results.

3. Provisions and Clauses

Note: The vendor acknowledges that should the quote terms and conditions and/or agreement conflict with mandatory provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other Federal law applicable to commercial acquisitions, to the extent of such conflict the FAR and Federal law govern and conflicting vendor terms and conditions and/or agreement are unenforceable and are not considered incorporated into any resultant contract.
