Evaluation and Award

Quotes submitted in response to this RFQ will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth below. It is imperative that offerors respond directly to each area specified and ensure their proposal is submitted on the most favorable terms, since less than their best potential could result in exclusion of the proposal from further consideration.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions and request revisions to offers it if is determined to be necessary. Quotes should contain the contractor’s best terms and best price.

Evaluation Criteria

PART I: Technical PART II: Past Performance PART III: Price

Part I Technical

The offeror’s quote will be evaluated to determine if each required document has been submitted with their offer; specifically A) a copy of Accreditation Certificate issued by ANSI B) detailed description of the exam being offered C) a copy of a sample exam

Qualifications will be rated as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. An offeror must receive an “Acceptable” rating for A, B, and C to be eligible for award.

Part II Past Performance

Offeror’s past performance will be evaluated to determine how well the offeror demonstrated compliance with prior contract requirements for supplies similar in nature to the exam required. The Government will utilize the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) at www.ppirs.gov to evaluate contractor past performance for those contractors having previously performed on a Federal Government contract(s). PPIRS is a web-enabled, government-wide application that collects quantifiable and narrative contractor past performance information from all Federal contracting agencies and provides a contractor’s previous performance based on Federal Stock Class (FSC) or Product Service Code (PSC). Past Performance will be evaluated as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. A neutral rating may be applied for any contractor not having a record of relevant past performance. The Government may also consider past performance information obtained through source(s) provided from the offeror or other sources. Offerors are required to submit a minimum of three (3) past performance references (commercial or government). The past performance must be relevant and within the last three years. In addition, the contractor shall provide the company name, POC name, telephone and e-mail address, brief description of the supplies provided, and contract number if applicable.

Part III Price

The Contracting Officer will use price analysis to determine price fair and reasonable. The offeror must provide all pricing for all line items on the Pricing Attachment. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all CLINS for the base year and all option years. Evaluation of price will be accomplished separately from the technical evaluation.
