(b) The Government intends to make award on the basis of initial proposals without conducting discussions with Offerors (except clarifications), but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a technical standpoint.

(c) Non-Price Factors.

1. Technical Proposal

The Government will evaluate Offerors submissions in accordance with the guidelines identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

2. Past Performance.

The past performance evaluation assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in the Offeror’s ability to provide products and services that meet its customers’ needs based on a demonstrated record of performance. The Government may consider past performance information contained in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). The Government may also contact all or some of each Offeror’s customers to obtain past performance information. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact, and contact references other than those provided by the Offeror. 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 not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

Factor 1 Technical Capability/Approach

Factor 2 Past Performance

Minimum Requirements:
