a. The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to the Offeror whose proposal represent the Best Value to the Government, utilizing trade off source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 and Section M of this solicitation.

b. The Government intends to make an award on the basis of initial proposals without conducting discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

Therefore, each initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a Price and Technical.

c. The Government reserves the right to determine which proposals show the capability to meet the requirements of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from further consideration those proposals which are considered ‘unacceptable’ and not capable of being made ‘acceptable’ without major rewrite or revisions.

d. Offerors are advised that the Government will not evaluate any proposal information not contained within the body of the proposal for the Technical and Price Volumes. The Government reserves the right to consider any other sources of information reasonably available for evaluation of Past Performance.

e. If the Government receives proposals from multiple offerors and the Government believes any of the offerors are owned or controlled by the same company, the Government reserves the right to request additional information to determine the ownership and control of the offerors. The Government, in its sole discretion, will use this information and any other information available to the Government to determine if it will treat such proposals as individual proposals from the different offerors or alternative proposals from a single offeror.

II.BASIS OF AWARD

a. A contract will be awarded to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and represents the Best Value to the Government in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 and the evaluation criteria.

b. "Best Value" means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit(s) in response to the requirement. The Offeror is advised that the Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest priced offeror or to the offeror with the highest past performance confidence assessment, if the Government determines that to do so would result in the Best Value in accordance with FAR 15.101-1.

c. The Government will select the best overall proposal, based on an assessment of the following evaluation factors:

I. Factor 1: Technical Capability

II. Factor 2: Past Performance III. Factor 3: Price

d. The Government will evaluate Factor 1 (Technical Capability) on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis.

However, if an Offeror is found to be ‘unacceptable’ for Factor 1, then the Government reserves the right not to conduct additional evaluation of that Offeror’s proposal. If an Offeror is found to be ‘acceptable’ for Factor 1, the Government will then perform a Trade Off evaluation between Past Performance (Factor 2) and Price (Factor 3). Past Performance is more important than Price. The importance of price as an evaluation factor will increase with the degree of equality of the proposals in relation to the evaluation results for the Past Performance factor. The Government will base its award decision on an assessment of proposals against all evaluation criteria in the solicitation.
