EVALUATION CRITERIA

(Addendum to RFO 52.212-2)

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:

In accordance with RFO 12.205(a)(2), the Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the responsible quoter whose conforming offer is determined to be the most advantageous, considering price and technical capability.

Award will be made using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. To be eligible for award, a quotation must meet all technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and provide all information required as defined in Addendum to RFO 52.212-1.

The Government reserves the right to hold interchanges with all, some, or no quoters. Additionally, if no quotes are rated technically acceptable, the CO has reserved the right to cancel the Solicitation in lieu of conducting interchanges. In this case, the Government is under no obligation to release a new Solicitation.

All submitted quotes will be subject to evaluation for quoter responsibility using the guidance and general standards set forth at RFO 9.104-1. Any negative entries found may be grounds for determining a quote non-responsible and would further make them ineligible for award. Common United States Government Systems used during this process are:

a. System for Award Management (SAM). Entity Registration; Reps & Certs; Entity Exclusions

b. Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)(SAM.gov)

c. Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment/Electronic Data Access (PIEE/EDA); and/or

d. The Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) https://www.cpars.gov

e. Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) (accessed via PIEE)

EVALUATION FACTORS:

PRICE: A quote’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be determined by the sum of all separately priced CLINs as presented on the combined synopsis/solicitation, including option line items. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

If separate CLIN prices AND a TEP (as applicable) are not included, not clearly stated, miscalculated and/or not understandable, the submission may be rejected as non-responsive, and the Government is under no obligation to hold interchanges with that quoter.

Measure of Merit: Total Evaluated Price

Acceptable: Price is clearly stated, correctly calculated, and includes all required CLINs.

Unacceptable: Price is missing, unclear, miscalculated, or incomplete. Quotes may be rejected as non‑responsive.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: Each technical factor will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis and assigned a rating on whether the quote meets the solicitation requirements. Extra credit will not be assigned for exceeding acceptable criteria. A rating of "Acceptable" will be required for each technical factor to be eligible for award.

Measure of Merit: Compliance with Attachment 1 – Statement of Work

Acceptable: Quote demonstrates the ability to meet all solicitation requirements.

Unacceptable: Quote fails to meet one or more requirements. Restating the Statement of Work or copying website content does not constitute an acceptable technical response.

EVALUATION PROCESS:

The lowest-priced quotation will be evaluated first for technical acceptability. If it is technically acceptable and the quoter is responsible, award will be made to that quoter. If not, the next lowest-priced quotation will be evaluated, and so on, until award can be made.
