EVALUATION PLAN

for

FA9101-19-D-2003

1. Basis for Award

a. The Government will award a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is both the lowest price and technically acceptable..

b. The Government reserves the right to evaluate offers and make award without seeking additional information from offeror’s through exchanges. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price, schedule, and performance standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges with all, some, or none of the offerors if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary.

c. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale at least two (2) calendar weeks before the established offer due date.

Failure to provide an offer in accordance with the terms, conditions, and structure of the solicited requirement will result in the offer being rejected prior to evaluation.

2.Evaluation Information:

a. The CO will begin the evaluation process by conducting a compliance review for determination of basic offer adequacy prior to conducting evaluations. The Government reserves the right to obtain additional information from offerors solely for making a responsibility determination after receipt of offers. Requests for responsibility information do not constitute exchanges. By submission of the offer, offerors agree that all items proposed will be utilized for the duration of the contract.

b. Offerors shall propose a unit price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) on Attachment 01, FA9101-19-F-2005, Delivery Order 0001. This price should be all-inclusive including the most current New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax (NMGRT) applicable to Otero County- Holloman AFB NM, if applicable, and provide the total price for each CLIN. The Government will evaluate all pricing. The Government willreject any offer that fails to cite a unit price for each CLIN and the corresponding total price.

c. Only FFP offers will be evaluated for this action. An offer using a sliding price scale or pricing subjectto escalation based on any contingency for a FFP designated CLINs will not be accepted.

d. Initially, offers will be ranked according to their total evaluated price (TEP) which will be calculated as the sum total of all CLINs 0001-0010 on Delivery Order 0001.

e. Evaluation will begin starting with the lowest priced offeror. If the lowest priced offer is determined to be technically acceptable, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the lowest priced offeror is evaluated to be technically unacceptable the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is determined to be technically acceptable, or until all offerors are evaluated.

3. Evaluation Factors:

a. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Price Technical Acceptability

b. Price:

Offers will be ranked according to their TEP which will be calculated as the sum total of CLINs 0001- 0010 on Attachment 01.

The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. If at any time during this competition the CO determines that adequate price competition does not exist, offerors may be required to submit other than certified cost or pricing data to the extent necessary for the CO to determine that the prices proposed are fair and reasonable

c. Technical Acceptability:

c.1. Offers will be evaluated by a technical advisor and rated in accordance with Table 2. Items quoted must be the specific brand and part/nomenclature provided in the requirements document. Items quoted that do not meet the specific brand and part/nomenclature will be unacceptable.
