Note that the proposed FBFLRs will be incorporated into the contract as FIXED, maximum FBFLRs Ceilings for future task order pricing.

Individual subcontractor/vendor proprietary information may be submitted via separate binders/CDs. The information contained in these binders/CDs must be referenced (by binder title, page and section number as appropriate) within the main proposal where the information would have been included if it were not subcontractor/vendor proprietary. The information in these separate binders/CDs is subject to all other requirements of the RFP and must be well marked to clearly indicate any special handling instructions.

L-4.7 Cross Referencing. Each volume, other than the Cost volume, shall be written to the greatest extent possible on a stand-alone basis so that its content may be evaluated with a minimum of cross-referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. Information required for proposal evaluation, which is not found in its designated volume or cross-referenced, is assumed omitted from the proposal.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

AWARD

BASIS OF AWARD

M.1 The Government will evaluate a proposal ONLY IF the offer/proposal satisfies all of the following elements, which will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis*:

· The offeror unconditionally accepts the terms and conditions of the RFP.

· The offeror submits all required information specified in the RFP

· Small Business Subcontracting Plan: The Offeror must submit a Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR clause 52.219-9 Alternate II. The offeror’s Subcontracting Plan will be reviewed for compliance with FAR 52.219-9, Alt II and DFARS 252.219-7003. The small business subcontracting plan shall be submitted separately from the Small Business Participation Commitment required under Factor 4, which applies to both Large and Small Business. The Subcontracting Plan is not a requirement for evaluation in source selection, but rather, a requirement for award to a Large Business and a matter of responsibility.

M.1.1. Contract award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer, in conforming to this RFP, provides the overall best value to the Government, management, integrated logistics support program, small business requirements, past performance, and price considered. The Government's objective is to obtain the highest technical quality considered necessary to achieve the project objectives with a realistic and reasonable cost.

The Government reserves the right not to make an award as a result of this competition if it is in the opinion of the Government that none of the submissions will provide satisfactory performance at a cost that is considered fair and reasonable and/or economically feasible.

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (e.g. the relevance of past performance information) .Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

The government intends to award without discussions with respective offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed, by the Contracting Officer, to be in the best interest of the Government.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS AND RATING METHODOLOGY

M-2.1 EVALUATION FACTORS

Section M 2.1

Factor 1 – Management

Factor 2 – Integrated Logistics Support Program

Factor 3 – Past Performance

Factor 4 – Small Business Requirements

Factor 5 –Price

Order of Precedence: Factors 1-4 are significantly more important that Price (Factor 5). In regards to the stated non-price factors, Factor 1 is more important than Factor 2, Factor 2 is more important than Factor 3, and Factor 3 is more important than Factor 4. .Within Factor 1, Subfactors 1-4 are of equal importance. Factor 5, price will become more important as factors become more equal. While the Government anticipates award to the responsible Offeror whose offer provides the overall best value to the Government, no award will be made based on superior technical capability when the proposed price is considered unreasonably high or low, or when the additional price is not justified by the advantages of an award based on technical superiority.

NOTE: Information contained in the Executive Summary into consideration in the evaluation of Factors 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 will NOT be considered in the evaluation.

M-2.2 EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

M-2.2.1. The following adjectival ratings will be used to rate Factors 1, 2, and 4, including sub-factors. A determination of “Unacceptable” renders the entire proposal unacceptable and therefore will NOT be considered for award. The proposal must be rated “Marginal” or higher overall to be considered for award.

· Outstanding: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

· Good: Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths, which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

· Acceptable: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

· Marginal: Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses, which are not offset by strengths. Risk to unsuccessful performance is high.
