This acquisition is being conducted utilizing the procedures of FAR Parts 8, 12, 19 and pertinent parts of Part 15.

Impartial consideration will be given to all offers received in response to this solicitation.

The evaluation criteria will be applied to all offers in the same manner. Each proposal will be evaluated strictly in accordance with its content and the Government will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the offeror's proposal.

Please note the following:

a) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with the offerors.

FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED:

Factor 1 – Past Performance Factor 2 – Price

Past performance is significantly more important than price. A trade-off analysis between past performance and price will be utilized to determine which quotation represents the best value to the Government. Award may be made to other than the lowest price proposal.

The vendor’s record of performance will be evaluated for quality of services, timeliness of services, business relations, and other considerations. In the case of a vendor without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In addition to the offeror’s completed “Attachment 2 PPQ Template”(s) and the offeror’s completed Past Performance Listing, the Government may use data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files (e.g.
