10. Basis for Award

The Government intends to establish BPA’s using a Best Value Tradeoff methodology. A BPA will be awarded to the responsible offeror(s) whose quote conforms to the solicitation and is determined to provide the best overall value to the Government, considering both Price and Technical Acceptability

(including the ability to meet or exceed the requirements and preferred amenities outlined in the

Requirement Statement).

11. Evaluation Criteria

Evaluation criteria will include the following factors:

Factor 1 — Capability Statement

The Offeror shall provide a capability statement that demonstrates a clear understanding of how they will execute the requirements of Attachment 1 – Requirement Statement. The Government will evaluate the capability statement to determine if it meets or exceeds the requirements, giving favorable consideration in a tradeoff scenario to those offering the “Preferred Facility Amenities” (e.g., pool, laundry, room service, on-site restaurant).

Factor 2 — Pricing

The Offerors shall provide their rates for the requested accommodations listed in Attachment 2 (Two) – Pricing Sheet.

Per Diem Cap: To be considered for award, the proposed pricing must be at or under the General Service Administration (GSA) lodging per diem rates for the Colorado Springs locality. Any quote exceeding the applicable GSA per diem rate is deemed unacceptable and will not be evaluated further.

Evaluation: The Government will evaluate price for fairness and reasonableness. In making the best value determination, the Government may trade off a lower price (that is at or below the per diem cap) for a higher technically rated quote that provides preferred facility amenities, provided that the higher priced quote also does not exceed the GSA per diem cap.
