EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government will award a firm fixed-price delivery order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following shall be used to evaluate offers:

Capability, Past Performance, Price.

Capability and Past Performance when combined are equal to price.

Offerors are reminded that the evaluation process is subjective despite the use of factors as outlined below.

Capability: Capability is defined as the documented capability to meet the minimum requirements as specified in this solicitation and the attached Statement of Work (SOW). Offreror’s should provide resumes, certification credentials, and any other documentation to demonstrate capability. Limit Capability documentation to 5 pages. Offerors who receive an “Unacceptable” rating will be removed from further consideration for award.

Past Performance Evaluation: To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the Offeror shall provide documentation of satisfactory performance on past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed for the Army National Guard or any other Military organization within the last three (3) years including references, with names and contact information of the references who can verify such past performance. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror will be evaluated as neutral on Past Performance. The Offeror must provide a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. Neutral past performance is not negatively scored but may have a negative impact in the overall consideration for award. The Government's approach to evaluating past performance is to review past performance information provided by the Offeror to determine relevancy, review any past performance information reported to Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and any data obtained from other sources available i.e. government database, previous contract files, etc. The ratings for past performance will be as follows:

The following ratings and related definitions will be used to define the performance confidence assessment. Based on the evaluation results, the evaluators will assign the Past Performance factor one of the ratings as defined below.

Performance Confidence Assessments

The Offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the Offeror. Limit past performance documentation to 3 pages.

Price Evaluation: The Government will issue an award to the Offeror whose proposal offers the best value to the Government but not necessarily the lowest price. If all things are equal, the Offer which is most advantageous to the Government may also be the lowest price determined to be reasonable IAW FAR 12.209. Offeror's are encouraged to propose their best price.

The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer and reject any and all offers. The basis of award will be a conforming offer, the price or cost of which may or may not be the lowest.

The Government intends to make award a12 month firm fixed price contract.

without discussions.
