The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Technical Factors—to be technically acceptable the Offeror must:

a. Submit acceptable prior experience

b. Submit acceptable process to provide …

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The resulting award will be a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) IDIQ contract to a single contractor.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

A. Initially offers shall be ranked according to price. An offeror's proposed prices will be determined by the price per unit (hour). Submit copies of the Pricing Schedule with proposal. Price proposals should be reasonable and competitive. A price may be considered reasonable if the amount does not exceed that which would be paid by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. Prices may be considered competitive if they are comparable to other prices that are determined to be reasonable. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.

B. TECHNICAL FACTORS EVALUATION. For an offer/quote to be determined ―Technically Acceptable” the offer/quote must receive a rating of ―Pass for all Technical Factors.

Technically Unacceptable A proposal that fails to meet minimum PWS requirements necessary for acceptable performance. Where discussions are contemplated, the proposal contains weaknesses, significant weaknesses, and deficiencies that cannot be corrected without a major rewrite of the proposal. The degree of proposal risk is high to very high.

C. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to be ―Technically Acceptable on all Technical Factors and the offeror is determined to be responsible, that offer is deemed the most advantageous to the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

D. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to be ―Technically Acceptable on all Technical Factors, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to be ―Technically Acceptable on all Technical Factors or until all offerors are evaluated.

E. . Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the proposal preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of technical capability.
