CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD

A. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a firm fixed price contract based on the initial quotations received, utilizing FAR SUBPART 12.6- STREAMLINED PROCEDURES

COMMERCIAL SERVICES. The Government will evaluate quotes utilizing the procedures found at FAR 12.602 Streamlined Evaluation of Offers. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or negotiate final contract terms with, one or more, but not all, Offerors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest and issue a contract to other than the Offeror with the lowest priced quotation.

B. Incomplete quotations may be considered non-responsive and removed from further consideration.

Quotations shall be clearly and concisely written as well as being neat, indexed (cross-indexed as appropriate) and logically assembled. All pages of each part shall be appropriately numbered and identified with the name of the offeror, the date, and the solicitation number.

The Government will evaluate quotations utilizing the procedures of FAR 12.602 Streamlined Evaluation of Offers. This will be a firm fixed price contract.

EVALUATION CRITERIA. Evaluation of Technical Capability will be based on the information provided in the quotation. Documentation submitted in the quotation shall be evaluated to determine that the proposed service meets or exceeds the Governments minimum required specifications. Failure to clearly and unambiguously demonstrate this will result in an “unacceptable” rating.

FACTORS FOR AWARD:

There are three evaluation factors for award consisting of the following:

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL APPROACH, Volume 1 FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE, Volume 2 FACTOR 3: PRICE, Volume 3

3. BASIS OF EVALUATION

Evaluation of this factor is an evaluation of the vendor's demonstrated resources, capability and methods to meet all requirements. This factor will be evaluated on an Acceptable / Unacceptable basis. The vendor’s submittals will be evaluated to determine whether the proposed technical approach demonstrates a clear and unambiguous understanding and a demonstrated ability to meet the minimum requirements. Failure to demonstrate a clear and unambiguous technical approach to meeting the requirements will result in an “Unacceptable” rating for this factor.

Vendors with an Unacceptable rating may be determined ineligible for award.

Technical Evaluation Criteria In order for a quote to be determined technically acceptable, the vendor must demonstrate technical acceptability for each of the following technical evaluation criteria:

1. Is the vendor able to perform the first required samplings during the month of February as stated in the Statement of Work, on or before February 28, 2024?

Results obtained apply to the specific room or equipment and are reflective of conditions at the time of this test, to include performance under dynamic conditions.

FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE (Volume 2)

1. Offerors are required to submit examples of past performance of similar scope and complexity with their quote.
