1. Scope Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), through Naval Sea Systems

Command (NAVSEA) 04ND, has a requirement to procure a Radiological Detection System

Training Device (RDSTD). This simulated training kit will be used to train Navy personnel on the features and real-world applications of the Radiological Detection System (RDS). The two (2) RDS components to be simulated include:

Military Designation: Nomenclature:

NSN 6665-01-671-4539 Base Unit

NSN 6665-01-671-4352 Beta Photon Probe

The training kit will also include one (1) instructor control system that will enable an instructor to manually alter simulated configurations remotely. The two (2) simulated RDS components and one (1) instructor control system together comprise the training device kit.

2. Background The RDS is a collection of rugged Radiation, Detection, Indication, and Computation

(RADIAC) meters intended to replace the Navy’s legacy Multi-Function RADIAC (MFR) survey meters. For training purposes, the Navy intends to utilize a training kit that simulates select capabilities of the RDS. The kit will help instructors facilitate engaging and realistic training sessions. For successful training, it is important that the devices simulate the key features and properties of the aforementioned RDS components.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) Basis for Award

The Government has determined that an award to the responsible Quoter that submits the Lowest-Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote in response to this solicitation will represent the best value to the

Government. Quotes will be evaluated to determine the LPTA quote based on the following factors:

Factor 1 Price

Factor 2 Technical Capability/Approach

A quote must be rated "ACCEPTABLE" for each non-price factor to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating for any non-price factor will result in the entire quote being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" overall; an overall rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a quote ineligible for award. A quote must contain sufficient information to enable evaluators to determine acceptability; if there is insufficient information to determine acceptability of the quote, the quote will be rated “UNACCEPTABLE” overall. Each of the evaluation factors will be rated as set forth below. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability.

The Government will evaluate the lowest priced quote for technical acceptability. If it is not acceptable, the

Government will evaluate the next lowest quote for technical acceptability, and so forth, to determine the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quote, at which point all evaluations will stop.

The Government reserves the right to request that the awardee reduce its total price, or adjust CLIN prices with no change to total price, in order to reduce administrative costs and avoid unnecessary burdens for the agency pursuant to FAR 13.002.

(b) Evaluation Factors
