b. In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total amount, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid and the total of the CLIN, the ELIN will be recomputed accordingly.

DBIDS INFORMATION:

Access to Installation: All Contractor personnel shall obtain access to the installation through enrollment and registration into the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS).

The Contractor shall provide the KO with the name of their designated Service Contractor Administrator (SCA) for enrollment in DBIDS. Once enrolled, the Contractor must provide the DBIDS Registrar with an approved employee list and then direct their employees to register into

DBIDS.

DBIDS Program: DBIDS is an enterprise identity management and perimeter installation access control solution in which Contractor personnel who enroll, and are approved, are subsequently granted access to the installation for a period up to three years, or the length of the contract, whichever is less, and are not required to obtain a new pass from the Base Pass and Identification Office for each visit. There are no fees associated with obtaining a DBIDS credential.

The Government performs background screening and credentialing. Throughout the year the Contractor employee must continue to meet background screening standards. Periodic background screenings are conducted to verify continued DBIDS participation and installation access privileges. DBIDS access privileges will be immediately suspended or revoked if at any time a Contractor employee becomes ineligible.

DBIDS Credentials: Contractor employees shall furnish a completed copy of the SECNAV 5512/1 form to obtain the required background check and visit the local Navy Installation Visitor Control Center to obtain a DBIDS credential once approved. The SECNAV 5512/1 form and additional information about DBIDS can be found at: https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html .

The Contractor may initiate the adjudication process when a background screen failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS and the Contractor employees do not agree with the reason for disqualification. The Contractor may also apply for a waiver when a background screening failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS. The Commanding Officer will be the final waiver determination authority.

The Contractor shall immediately collect employee DBIDS credentials and notify the KO in writing:

(1) That an employee has departed the company without having properly returned or surrendered their DBIDS credentials.

(2) That there is a reasonable basis to conclude that an employee, or former employee, might pose a risk, compromise, or threat to the safety or security of the installation or anyone therein.

DBIDS Paper Passes: In the event that a visitor, vendor, or Contractor employee elects not to participate in DBIDS, the individual will be issued DBIDS paper pass from the Base Pass and Identification Office in order to access to the installation. The time standard for the validity of a pass to access an installation will be not more than thirty (30) days and may be further restricted based on local policy or by Federal, DOD, Navy, and CNIC guidance.

The Government will not be responsible for any cost or lost time associated with obtaining paper passes or added vetting or inspections incurred by non-participants in the DBIDS credentialing process.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

BASIS FOR AWARD

M.1 Basis for Award:

The Government will select the lowest price technically acceptable offer at a reasonable cost the Government.

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the Offeror submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.

The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

In order to permit efficient competition, the Navy will utilize the following methodology: Proposals will initially be screened for price and placed in order of price (lowest priced to highest price). The Navy will then evaluate the technical factors of the lowest priced proposal. The Navy will make award to the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal. However, if the lowest priced proposal is not found to be technically acceptable, the Navy, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to increase the number of proposals it will review, until the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal. Accordingly, under this methodology, the technical factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Navy. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both technical and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

M.2 Evaluation Factors:

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-cost/price factors:
