EVALUATION FACTROS FOR AWARD

A. INTRODUCTION

B. EVALUATION FACTORS AND PROCEDURES:

i. Evaluation Base: Standard Form 33

ii. The Offeror’s price will be evaluated based upon the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Offeror’s Price Proposal will be evaluated for the criteria of Price Reasonableness and Balance.

a) Price Reasonableness: The proposed price will be evaluated for Price Reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it will represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For additional information see FAR 31.201-3.

b) Balance: The Government may also determine a proposal unacceptable should the proposed prices be unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more items/Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS) is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques as those defined by FAR 15.404-1.

c) Total Evaluated Price (TEP): A TEP will be calculated to be used for evaluation of offers to determine the lowest priced proposal. The TEP calculation will be derived from multiplying the Government’s estimated repair/upgrade needs per year by the proposed price(s) on each CLIN.

2. Solicitation Requirements, Terms, and Conditions:

a. In addition to meeting Factor 1, the government expects all offerors to meet all solicitation requirements, to include terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and required delivery schedules.

b. Furthermore, all Offeror’s shall be identified as an approved source in the Government’s Screen Analysis Worksheet AFMC Form 762 prior to contract award.

c. Offerors not identified on the AFMC Form 762 are encouraged to contact the aforementioned government representative to obtain technical pre-qualification information. However, per FAR 9.202(e), the government reserves the right to not to delay contract award in order to provide a potential offeror with an opportunity to demonstrate its ability to meet the standards.

3. The process for the evaluation and contractor responsibility determination of proposals is as follows:

a. This award will be made to the offeror that is listed as an approved source and submitted the proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price

b. Past Performance record and history will be assessed as one of the multiple standards required for a successful offeror to be determined responsible as described in FAR 9.104. Contractors shall meet the required delivery dates, as well as the terms and conditions in this solicitation, to be determined responsible.
