A. Basis for Contract Award: Using FAR Part 13.5, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Government will award a contract to the most advantageous proposal in response to this solicitation based on the following factors:

Factor 1: Price Factor 2: Technical

Sub-factor 1: Technical Specifications Sub-factor 2: Project Assembly, Delivery, and Installation Plan Sub-factor 3: Personnel Specifications

B. The Government intends to make an award without conducting discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into discussions if it is deemed necessary by the contracting officer. Note that the Government will not be utilizing FAR Part 15 for this acquisition and discussions, if used, will be informal. If an offer is no longer deemed competitive, it may be removed from further consideration for award. The Government will inform an offer when any proposal is no longer being considered for award.

C. Evaluation Procedures. The Government will use the following procedures to evaluate offers.

1) Establish a Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for each responsive proposal received. The TEP will be determined by adding extended price of all CLINs.

2) The Government may consider awarding to other than the lowest priced offer. Technical sub-factor 2: Project Assembly, Delivery, and Installation Plan is considered to be more important than price, with a preference for an accelerated delivery time-line of less than 7 months after award. All delivery and installation activities must be complete prior to 12 April 2021. Delivery timelines in excess of 8 months after award will not be considered technically acceptable. All other Technical Subfactors are equal to price.

3) Award will be made to the most advantageous offer to the Government, that submits a technically acceptable response to this solicitation.

D. Evaluations. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Price

Factor 2: Technical

a. Sub-factor 1: Technical Specifications

b. Sub-factor 2: Project Assembly, Delivery, and Installation Plan

c. Sub-factor 3: Personnel Specifications

1. Factor 1 - Price:

1.1 Each vendor's proposed price will be verified by multiplying the quantities identified at the contract line item number (CLIN) level by the proposed unit price to confirm the extended amount for each CLIN.

1.2 Comparisons of the submitted pricing by a vendor received in response to the solicitation will be evaluated as an aggregate total representing a Total Evaluated Price (TEP). For evaluation purposes, the Government will calculate a Total Evaluated Price (TEP) by adding the extended price for each CLIN.

1.3 In the event that the proposal is submitted in a currency other than US dollars, the Government will convert the proposed price into US dollars for evaluation purposes by utilizing the established exchange rate(s) posted to http://comptroller.defense.gov/ Financial-Management/Reports/fcfr at the time of the solicitation end date.

2. Factor 2 - Technical Specifications. The proposal shall be evaluated for completeness in thoroughly addressing each of the areas identified in 52.212-1 Addendum and 52.212-2 Addendum to include compliance with the SOW. Proposals will be evaluated on the requirements of the SOW at the sub-factor level on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis. To be determined technically acceptable at the Factor level, the vendor must be rated as “acceptable” for all sub-factors. Any Sub-factor rating of “Unacceptable” under the “Technical” factor shall render the entire factor “Unacceptable.” The Government's technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposal(s) on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, as stated below:
