BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This requirement is being solicited, evaluated, and awarded in accordance with the procedures of FAR Parts 12 and 13. Award will be made to the offeror determined to provide best value to the Government in terms of Price and Technical (capability of the item offered to meet the agency need). The Government reserves the right to issue award to the offer that is most advantageous to the Government, which may reflect an award to other than the offeror with the lowest total proposed price.

EVALUATION FACTORS: The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

a. Price

b. Technical

PRICING EVALUATION:

The vendor's proposed price will be evaluated based on the Total Evaluated Price (TEP), which will be calculated as the total amount proposed for CLIN 0001, inclusive of any transportation charges necessary to fulfill the requirement in accordance with the Statement of Work.

Quotes will be reviewed for price reasonableness. The Government may use any of the price analysis techniques IAW FAR 13.106- 3(a) to determine price reasonableness.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION:

The purpose of evaluating the offeror’s proposed Technical Approach is to assess the quality of the offeror’s proposed solution for fulfilling Government’s requirement.

To be eligible for award, the offeror’s proposed Technical volume shall be determined acceptable in accordance with the ratings identified below:

Rating Description Acceptable Offer meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

The Government will assign a rating of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” for each of the two technical subfactors included in this solicitation. If any subfactor is determined to be “unacceptable”, the entire technical factor will be determined “unacceptable”.

a. SUBFACTOR 1: Technical Approach

The offeror’s proposed technical approach will be determined acceptable if it demonstrates an adequate understanding of the types of tools, equipment, personnel and facilities necessary to fabricate the required fairlead beam assemblies.

b. SUBFACTOR 2: First Article Test (FAT) Process

The offerors proposed First Article Test (FAT) process will be determined acceptable if it demonstrates either of the following:

Adequate evidence of First Article Testing (FAT) Approval for the Fairlead Beam Assembly;

and delivery of FAT approved Fairlead Beam Assembly production unit(s) within the last three

(3) years of the solicitation issuance date; or
