General Information

Basis for Contract Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, considering the factors listed in this provision.

In accordance with FAR 13.106-2, the Government will utilize comparative evaluations, and give preliminary considerations to all offers received in response to the solicitation. The Government may identify from all evaluated quotes readily discernible value indicators that fall within the parameters of the evaluation factors outlined in this provision.

Therefore, the Government reserves the right to select an awardee that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum outlined standards, but is not obligated to do so. Additionally, the Government is not bound to select an awardee whose quote may exceed the minimum requirement, but whose additional value or benefit is not deemed substantial enough by the Government.

The Government is not limited to the quote that only meets the minimum described in the below factor(s) and provides the lowest price. However, if no quotes received in response to the solicitation exceed the minimum criteria outlined in this provision, as determined by the Government; then the Government intends to award a contract to the lowest priced quote that meets the instructions outlined in 52.212-1, and the minimum requirements outlined in this provision; whose price can be determined both fair & reasonable and realistic by the Contracting Officer.

The Government intends to make an award without conducting discussions with vendors after the close of the solicitation.

Therefore, vendors should provide their best available pricing and technical quotes to the Government in their initial quote.

However, the Government reserves the right to enter into discussions with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interests of the Government to do so.

Evaluation Factors: The following factors will be used by the Government to evaluate quotes;

Price, Past Performance, and Technical Capability: At minimum, the vendor must;

- Provide pricing in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1 and Attachment 8 Pricing Schedule.

- Provide Technical Capability Documentation in accordance with the instructions outlined in 52.212-1

- Provide a list of current contracts or customers whom utilize the same or similar services in terms of type and complexity.

The vendor that provides the lowest price that can be determined both fair & reasonable and realistic by the Contracting Officer may be given additional consideration for awardee selection. However, the Government is under no obligation to do so.

The Government intends to only evaluate prices submitted on Attachment 3; Price Schedule. During the evaluation process the Contracting Officer will determine a “Total Evaluated Price” (TEP) for each responsive quote. The TEP is determined by totaling the amount of all line items identified in Attachment 3; Price Schedule.

For the purposes of this evaluation, a price that is deemed too high while conducting the evaluation of the quote in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 would not be considered fair & reasonable.

For the purposes of this evaluation, a price that reflects a lack of understanding of the contract requirement or displays an undue risk inherent to the vendors approach would not be considered realistic.

Technical Capability: At minimum, the vendor must;

(ix) Provide information relating to the contractor’s capability to satisfactorily meet the performance requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Include any current or previous work performed for the same services being requested.

Before the quotes specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are discussions conducted after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdraw is received before award is made.

3. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award without discussion but reserves the right to conduct discussions. Therefore, the offeror’s initial quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer. Any proposals that fail to furnish the required representations or information, or that reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

RESTRICTIONS ON EMPLOYMENT OF PERSONNEL (MAR 2000)
