THE PREQUALIFICATION CRITERIA MAY SUBMIT A PROPOSAL IN RESPONSE

TO PHASE 2 OF THE SOLICITATION. For Phase 2 of the solicitation, participants will be evaluated on: Factor 4: Safety; Factor 5: Technical Solution; and Price. The relative order of importance of the non-cost/price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 2, 4, and 5) are approximately equal in importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating (Factor 3). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (e.g., the non-cost/price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-cost/price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-cost/price proposal’s superiority to the Government.

The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all proposers; to use tradeoff processes when it may be in the best interest of the Government; to consider award to other than the lowest priced proposer or other than the highest technically rated proposer; and award to the proposer submitting the proposal determined by the Government to be the most advantageous (best value) to the Government.
