2.0 Past Performance.

Per DFARS 213.106-2(b)(1), an evaluation of the LPTA supplier’s past performance history in the Past Performance

Information Retrieval System (PPIR-SR) will be checked. If a supplier does not have a record of relevant past performance history in the PPIRS-SR database, the supplier will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history.

Award will be made to the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA), responsive, responsible offeror with acceptable past performance.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined necessary by the Contracting officer. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest.

Type of Contract. The Government will issue a firm fixed price delivery order against a Federal Supply Schedule

(FSS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8.

This requirement will be awarded on an "all or none" basis. Each furnishing is listed under a separate Contract Line

Item Number (CLIN) and has accompanying descriptions per the Statement of Work (SOW). The Government intends to award one delivery order for this requirement.

The Government will accept quotes that support this requirement via the "Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA)."

The CTA allows a contractor (team leader) to deliver an end-to-end solution from multiple industries. CTAs are created when two or more Schedule contractors join together to provide a total solution. The contractor submitting the quote and all CTA members shall be the owners of the GSA schedule(s) that contain all items being quoted.
