This solicitation is 100% set aside for SDVOSB. All quoters must be certified under the Small Business Administration as a SDVOSB at the time of the quote submission in order to be eligible for evaluation for award. Any quoter that submits a quote that is still pending certification and/or not a certified SDVOSB will not be evaluated for award.

III. QUOTE CONTENT

The following Technical Factors will be used to evaluate quotes: Management Approach and Past Performance, with equal importance to each other.

(1) Volume I - Non-price Quote

Volume I of the quote shall include all information required for the evaluation of the quoter's Non-price Quote. It shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the quote.

(a) Management Approach

The quoter shall provide in detail a management approach that will ensure the successful accomplishment of the requirements solicitation, including the performance work statement (PWS). The management approach should address how the quoter will effectively staff task orders issued for each term/semester. The management approach should detail the quoter's onboarding plan to include the recruitment, hiring, and retention of the requisite personnel with the necessary qualifications and expertise to perform to the requirements of the solicitation. The management approach should also address how the quoter will effectively manage deliverables and ensure reports and grades are completed on time.

The quoter should provide any other information the quoter considers relevant to its Management Approach and successfully accomplishing the requirements of the solicitation, including the PWS.

Statements such as "the quoter understands," "will comply with the performance work statement," "standard procedures will be employed," "well known techniques will be used" and general paraphrasing of the performance work statement are considered inadequate. The Non-Price Quote must provide details concerning what the contractor will do and how it will be done. This includes a full explanation of the techniques, disciplines, and procedures proposed to be followed.

NOTE: If a quoter's Management Approach is not rated at least Acceptable, the quoter is ineligible for award and the remaining sections of Volume I will not be evaluated, and consequently the quoter will be removed from award consideration.

(b) Past Performance

The quoter shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the past 5 years that is of similar scope and magnitude to that which is described in this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the quoter shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years. The quoter should complete a "Past Performance Information Form" for each reference submitted. The quoter should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation. The quoter should also provide information on any problems encountered on the identified contracts or efforts and the quoter's corrective actions.

The quoter may identify contracts or efforts for its proposed subcontractors among the three (3) past performance references provided in its quote. If past performance references are provided for a subcontractor, the quoter's quote should detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. It is the contractor's responsibility to adequately explain the relevance of a reference provided for a subcontractor's past performance to the effort that the subcontractor is proposed to perform under the solicitation.

Contract references for multiple-award IDIQ contract, GSA schedule, or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) shall provide the basic contract number and task order number, schedule, or BPA number and the task order number since performance occurs at the task order level. Such references that do not provide this information will not be reviewed or considered. A singular task order number under one IDIQ contract equates to one effort. The Government is evaluating a maximum of three

(3) efforts.

The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. A quoter determined to have no record of relevant past performance (or in an instance where no information on the quoter's past performance is available), will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for the Past Performance factor. While a quote with no relevant past performance will not be rated unfavorably, it may be considered less advantageous than a quote from a quoter with a history of highly relevant and successful performance. The evaluation of Past Performance is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination.

The Past Performance evaluation will result in a past performance confidence assessment.

In order to receive credit for the past performance of an affiliate, the quote must clearly demonstrate that the affiliate will be meaningfully involved in performance of the solicited contract. That is, the resources of the affiliate, (e.g., workforce, management, facilities, or other resources that demonstrably contributed to the affiliate's performance on the submitted project(s)) will be provided or relied upon by the Contractor for contract performance on the solicited requirement to an extent that warrants attribution of the affiliate's past performance to the quoter. While there may be multiple ways to demonstrate meaningful involvement, generally reach back capability to the affiliate's or common parent's resources alone does not establish meaningful involvement. The Agency will not consider an affiliate's record where that record does not bear on the likelihood of successful performance by the quoter. The quoter should also describe the relationship between the quoter and the affiliate. If the quoter purchased or merged with the affiliate, the quoter should state the date of purchase/ merger and whether the affiliate's personnel and resources that were retained by the quoter after the purchase/merger. The Agency will assess the narrative to determine whether, and to what degree, to attribute the affiliate's past performance to the quoter. If the quote lacks sufficient detail to establish meaningful involvement by the affiliate, the Agency, at its discretion, may decline to consider the past performance of the affiliate in the evaluation.

(2) Volume II -Price Quote

Volume II, "Price Quote," is not page limited.

The Price Quote in Volume II shall include the solicitation pricing pages completed by the quoter and a complete and detailed breakdown of the quoter's Firm Fixed Price (FFP) inclusive of the Loaded FFP Rates plus any discount provided. The quoter shall provide a total firm-fixed-price consisting of the total of all CLINS for the ordering period. That total proposed price shall represent the quoter's firm-fixed-price for performance of all of the solicitation's requirements. A firm-fixed-price is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor's cost experience in performing the contract. If the award date or start of performance is delayed, it shall not entitle the contractor to a price adjustment.

Volume II shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price breakdown with all supporting documentation. The price quote shall include all elements of price and such other cost information as considered appropriate to support the quote.

A price realism analysis will not be performed.

The pricing information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

(a) Quoters should use the following estimates when preparing a quote submission:
