Additional technical support documentation can be submitted and is not to exceed five pages. TN and additional supporting documents should not exceed ten pages.

NOTE: The contractor is cautioned not to use phrases such as: “contractor understands the directives and will comply” or “contractor will perform all aspects of the work identified under the SOW” or other similar statements.

The submission of this type of data may result in a rating of unacceptable.

Sub-factor II: Parts & Components

A. Offer shall furnish replacement components approved by the customer and in accordance with the specifications provided in the Statement of Work. Equivalent parts are subject to inspection by FRCSW prior to procurement and installation.

Contractors are required to submit a technical documentation that demonstrates they have the capability to furnish the specified parts/components identified under A.

If the offer is not able to provide these components, the submission of technical specifications for similar equipment will be required for evaluation.

The following ratings listed below will be used to evaluate Technical Capability.

Technically Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Offeror clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation and has provided the technical capability documentation required by this solicitation.

Unacceptable Offeror does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation and has not provided all the required technical capability documentation set forth under this solicitation.

The furnishing of technical documentation will be used by the Government to evaluate the quotation and to determine an offeror’s capability of accomplishing the overall project. The technical literature is required to demonstrate in sufficient detail that the contractor possesses the necessary technical skills, education, and experience to meet or exceed the Government’s minimum requirements as identified under the solicitation.

Offerors that provide all the supporting technical documentation requested by this solicitation will be evaluated by the Governments technical evaluation board. If the information and data is determined to be sufficient for proper evaluation purposes to allow the Government to make a reasonable determination of the offeror’s technical capability, quotations will be rated as “Acceptable”. Offerors that do not provide supporting technical information and data submitted are determined to be insufficient for proper evaluation purposes to allow the Government to make a reasonable determination of the offeror’s technical capability will be rated as “Unacceptable”. A rating of “Unacceptable” will preclude any further evaluation.

Factor II: PAST PERFORMANCE

Offerors are required to provide historical past performance data that will show actual work under a contract with a U.S. Government customer or commercial entities that is similar as the required work specified under the applicable work statements. Offerors shall provide historical data that include installation, replacement/or repair of Deka brand (or suitable substitute) G105-11 cells into each battery.

NOTE: The data shall be provided in the Past Performance Information Form herein.

The following ratings listed below will be used to evaluate Past Performance.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Acceptable: Vendor has relevant past performance, no monetary assessment for non-conforming services, no terminations for default, met contract requirements for timely delivery and customer service.

Unacceptable: Monetary assessment for non-conforming services, terminations for default or cause, poor performance, such as untimely delivery, poor customer service and inadequate equipment

Neutral: No relevant past performance data available for evaluation.

Past performance will be rated on the basis on relevance, quality, delivery or cost problems, corrective actions, and effectives of the corrective actions. The Government will give an “acceptable” past performance rating to quotations where the offeror has relevant past performance, no monetary assessment for non-conforming services, no terminations for default, met contract requirements for timely delivery and customer service.

The Government will not make award to a quotation that the Government evaluates as “unacceptable” on past Performance. To be eligible for award, the Government must evaluate the past performance factor as acceptable.

The Government will give a Neutral Past Performance rating to offerors that lack a record of relevant Past Performance or for whom information on Past Performance is not available. The Government will not evaluate such offerors favorably or unfavorably on Past Performance. Offerors are reminded, however, that a quotation that receives a Neutral on Past Performance may not represent the most advantageous quotation to the Government and, thus, may be an unsuccessful quotation.

Factor III: PRICE

(a) Contractor(s) are to provide current unit pricing for each line item to be priced listed in this RFQ, a total cost for all line items based upon the site visit evaluation.

Evaluation:

(a) The Government will evaluate quotations based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. The Contracting Officer will evaluate quotations and award a Firm Fixed Price contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the offer’s most accurate terms from both a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to make award to other than the low offeror if it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be not technically acceptable.

(b) Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price.

(c) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(d) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
