SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

IDIQ SOURCE SELECTION

M-1 Basis for IDIQ Contract Award

The Government intends to make an award to all qualifying offerors resulting from this solicitation to provide maximum flexibility of choice and service coverage. Best Value source selection procedures where no tradeoffs will be made, will be utilized in accordance with FAR 15.101 and DoD Source Selection Procedures. Failure to meet a solicitation requirement may result in a proposal being determined non-compliant and/or technically unacceptable and, therefore, may result in the offeror being eliminated from further consideration.

The evaluation criteria for IDIQ Contract Award(s) are specified below. To receive an IDIQ award, offerors must

(1) be deemed responsible IAW FAR Part 9, (2) conform to the requirements of the solicitation, (3) be DOD Approved pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR 861), (4) be the entity that will operate the aircraft under this contract, unless subcontracting is required by international agreement, and (5) represent a best value to the Government. With submission of a signed proposal, the offeror agrees to comply with the terms and conditions included in the Solicitations.

M-1.1 Timing of IDIQ Contract Awards. Offerors who are not DOD Approved Air Carriers but are otherwise eligible for award will be subject to a Survey and Analysis by the HQ AMC Commercial Airlift Division. Be advised, a prerequisite for a Survey and DoD Approval is that an offeror must have 12 months of continuous service equivalent to the service offered by this RFP. Contract awards to other eligible awardees will not be held up pending completion of this process. Therefore, the Government anticipates the award of IDIQ contracts could be staggered over the course of seven months after proposal evaluations have been completed in order for the Government to complete the Survey and DoD approval process. Offerors who are selected for a potential contract award through the best value process will be contacted by the Contracting Officer to facilitate the DOD approval process.

M-1.2 Discussions

The Government intends to award without discussions but may hold discussions if determined necessary by the Source Selection Authority. If necessary, a Competitive Range will be established for the purposes of holding discussions with the most highly rated offerors.

M-2 Evaluation Criteria (Factors/Subfactors). All factors will be rated as Acceptable/Unacceptable as defined below. Any factor rated as Unacceptable will render the entire proposal Unacceptable and ineligible for award.

RATING DEFINITIONS

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Each offeror’s proposal will be evaluated against the following evaluation criteria:

(i) Factor 1: Technical Capability. To be rated Acceptable, the following shall be met:

a. Technical Subfactor 1 – Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) Certification Documentation: FAA/CAA Certification Documentation is current and complete demonstrating compliance with the equivalent to Federal Aviation Regulation Part 135 Certificate requirements of this solicitation.

b. Technical Subfactor 2 – Air Carrier Operations: Offerors responses in Attachment 2 “Carrier Operations” and corresponding flight logs must be complete and accurate to demonstrate the following:

i. 12 Months Prior Continuous Equivalent Service for international and/or domestic service. Must demonstrate at least one international and/or domestic (as applicable) mission operated under FAR Part 135 (or CAA Equivalent) per month during the 12 months immediately preceding date of offer. In accordance with 32 CFR 861, “Equivalent to the services sought by DOD” means service offered to qualify for DOD approval must be substantially equivalent to the type of service sought by DOD.

“Continuous” service means the carrier must have performed revenue-generating services of the nature for which DOD approval is sought.

ii. Services performed in Winter, Mountainous and/or Remote environmental conditions as defined in Attachment 2 (if applicable). Operations could have taken place at any point during the immediately preceding 12 months from date of offer.

c. Technical Subfactor 3 – Aircraft Technical Capability: Documentation for aircraft proposed in Attachment 3 “Aircraft Identification Table” with corresponding performance data/charts, to include aircraft with Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) and/or FAA Form 337s, must be complete, accurate and consistent with Federal Aviation Regulation Part 135 or CAA equivalent certifications.

d. Technical Subfactor 4 – Air Carrier Services Offered: Offeror’s response in Attachment 4, “Catalog of Services Offered” must meet PWS requirements for services offered.

(ii) Factor 2: Business Proposal—Proposal Compliance. Each offeror’s Business Proposal will be evaluated to determine if it complies with all terms and conditions of the solicitation. Business Proposals shall be submitted accordance with the requirements of Section L-3 Part II – Business Proposal-Proposal Compliance and will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, E-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.
