1. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked, using the non-price factors. The Offeror must be determined to have an "Acceptable" rating for all non-price factors before further consideration will be given.

The LPTA non-price factors include Technical and Past Performance. The Contracting Officer will select the proposal, in conformance with the solicitation, which is determined "acceptable" for Technical and Past Performance and offers the lowest evaluated price.

A proposal that is rated "Unacceptable" for any non-price factor is excluded. Therefore, if any non-price factor is rated "Unacceptable", the Government reserves the right to not evaluate the remaining factors.

A. EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will evaluate each Offeror's technical capability to perform the requirements in the solicitation and any subsequent amendments. The proposal will be evaluated for completeness, accuracy, quality of detail, and degree of demonstration for the following:

1. Factor l, Technical

a. Subfactor 1: Technical Capability:

The quality of detail and the degree to which the proposal demonstrates the Offeror's technical capability, approach and unique skills or solutions to manufacturing the DMISA Rings from the drawings.

b. RESERVED

RESERVED

c. Subfactor 3: Technical Risk Management

The quality of detail and the degree to which the Offeror has demonstrated its risk mitigation process, assessment of the risk areas specific to the requirements in this solicitation, and a plan for risk mitigation based on the drawings provided.

Technical acceptability will be assessed according to Table M- 1.

Table M-1: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does meet the minimum requirements of the not solicitation.

The Offeror's technical proposal must be rated "Acceptable" to be further considered.

2. Factor 2, Past Performance

a. Past performance will be evaluated based on the Offeror's demonstrated ability to satisfy its customers, deliver products and services of high quality, meet delivery schedules, and comply with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

b. The Government may contact some or all of the Offeror's references to ask questions such as: (1) was the Offeror is capable, efficient, and effective; (2) did the Offeror's performance conformed to the terms and conditions of its contract; (3) was the Offeror was reasonable and cooperative during performance; (4) was the Offeror was committed to customer satisfaction; (5) did the Offeror meet proposed subcontracting goals, if applicable; and (6) did the Offeror hire and retain qualified personnel necessary for successful completion of the contract requirements.

c. The Government will evaluate up to three references for the Prime and up to two references for each proposed major subcontractor. References exceeding the quantity requested shall be removed from the end of the volume and will not be evaluated.

d. The Government may consider information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror, including Federal, State and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media and any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

e. The Government will consider recent and relevant past performance information (within the last 3 years) obtained in relation to the scope of this requirement. It is the Offeror's responsibility to relate its past performance to the requirements of this solicitation. Past performance, either positive or negative, which is considered by the Government to be more closely related to the scope of this effort will be given higher consideration in determining the Offeror's past performance acceptability/unacceptability.

f. The Government will consider the Offeror's past performance in complying with requirements of the clauses at FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns, and 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan.

g. Relevancy, as it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the product, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming, or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance.

h. If the Offeror does not provide past performance information with its proposal, the Contracting Officer need not pursue further information if it is clear that the Offeror's price is not competitive.

NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability /unacceptability, a neutral shall be considered "acceptable."

Past Performance acceptability will be assessed according to Table M- 2.

Table M-2: Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rat ing

Description

Acc epta ble

Based on the Offerors performance record, the Government has a expectation that the Offeror will reasonable successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror's performance record is unknown. (See NOTE above.)

Una cce pta ble

Based on the Offerors performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to perform successfully the required effort.

The Offeror's past performance must be rated "Acceptable" to be further considered.

3. Factor 3, Price

The Offeror shall submit all pricing using . The prices proposed in , are SECTION B of the SF33 Section B of the SF33 contractually binding.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposal based on the overall price for all items (including base and options) utilizing the following criteria:

a. Completeness . An Offeror's price proposal may be deemed non-responsive if, in the judgment of the Government, the price proposal is incomplete, erred, or does not accurately reflect the Offeror's proposed effort in meeting the technical requirements, thereby indicating that the Offeror does not understand the scope of the technical requirements.

Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between promised performance and price shall be explained in the price narrative. Failure to submit a price on an item may result in the proposal being deemed non-responsive.

b. Reasonableness . The Government anticipates making a determination of fair and reasonable pricing based on adequate competition. However, the Government may use any of the analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1, either individually or in combination with each other, to determine that the final price is fair and reasonable.

The Government may reject an offer as nonresponsive if the CLIN/SLIN Unit prices are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. An offer is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work, and if there is a reasonable doubt that the offer will result in the lowest overall cost to the Government even though it may be the low evaluated bid, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment.

4. Factor 4, Contract Documentation

The Government will evaluate the submitted contract documentation to ensure that all the required information has been provided and to verify compliance with all requirements. The Government will assign an adjectival rating of "pass" or "fail" indicating whether the requirements have been fully satisfied. If the Offeror has failed to meet any of the pass/fail requirements, the proposal is ineligible for award and will be eliminated from further consideration. The Government may waive minor oversights and irregularities in the submitted contract documentation provided that they are considered immaterial in its judgment. The Government reserves the right to not evaluate other proposal volumes I-III (Factors 1-3) if Offeror is assigned a "fail" adjectival rating under Factor 4.
