Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

M-1 EVALUATION BASIS FOR AWARD

Introduction: This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS), DOD Source Selection Procedures 5315.3, 27 January 2017. These regulations are available electronically at https://www.acquisition.gov/.

The Government will select the proposal with the lowest evaluated price from those meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. Award will be made to the offeror deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9.1, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is based on the evaluation factors and sub factors, and have the lowest total evaluated price.

The Government intends to award one FFP contract, without discussions with respective offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. If so, discussions will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.306. Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors should not assume they will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise their proposals. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all offers if such action is in the Government's best interests.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS

Evaluation Factors and Sub factors the evaluation process is as follows:

A. First, the Government will determine if the proposal conforms to the RFP requirements. Only conforming proposals will be eligible for award.

B. Second, the Government shall perform a price analysis on all conforming proposals, ranking them from lowest to highest evaluated price.

C. Third, the Government shall then determine if responsive proposals are technically acceptable or unacceptable in accordance with the evaluation criteria (factors/sub factors.) If responsive proposals are found to be technically acceptable and price is determined to be reasonable, award will be made to the offeror with the lowest price without further consideration of any other proposals. If the lowest price proposal is not found to be technically acceptable, the process will continue and award will be made to the lowest offeror with a technically acceptable proposal. At the Contracting Officer's discretion, the government may conduct a realism analysis of contractor proposals.

Factor 1 - Price

Factor 2 - Technical

Sub-factor 1: Project Management

Sub-factor 2: Company Experience

Proposals which do not address all evaluation factors and sub factors, or that are found to be unacceptable in any factor/sub factor, will be determined unacceptable proposals and will receive no further consideration for award.

A. Factor 1: Price: The offeror's Price proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness, total evaluated price and financial resources. These will be evaluated in accordance with paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4.

1. Reasonableness: The offeror's Price proposal will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable pursuant to FAR 15.404-1. The existence of adequate price competition is expected to support a determination of reasonableness. Price analysis techniques may be used to further validate price reasonableness. If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis of Government obtained information, additional information in accordance with FAR 15.4 may be required to support the proposed price.

2. Total Evaluated Price (TEP): The TEP will be the total proposed price for CLIN 0001 in Schedule B of the SF 1442.

The offeror's TEP will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable, pursuant to FAR 15.404. For additional information see FAR 31.201-3. The otherwise technically acceptable, lowest-priced offeror may be required to confirm its price on a total price basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price, prior to contract award. Offerors whose price is determined to be unreasonable or unaffordable may not be considered for award.

3. Financial Resources: The financial capability letter will be evaluated to determine financial capacity to meet this requirement. The letter from the bonding company will be evaluated to determine bonding capacity and maximum dollar threshold.

B. Factor 2: Technical: The Government's technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each sub factor. Any sub factor evaluated as "unacceptable" will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, unawardable. Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. However, the offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.
