BASIS FOR AWARD

1.0 GENERAL

The Contracting Officer will select the eligible Offeror who is considered the lowest price technically acceptable. To evaluate Offerors, all quotes will be reviewed for compliance with the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in the solicitation. When evaluating for compliance, each Offeror will either be determined Eligible or Ineligible for award. If an Offerors quote does not conform and comply with all the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in the solicitation, the Offeror will be deemed Ineligible for award. Quotes that do not conform to the requirements of the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation, deliberation or discussion. If an Offerors quote does conform and comply with all the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in the solicitation, the Offeror will be deemed Eligible for award.

2.0 TECHNICAL

In order for an Offeror to be found technically acceptable, the Offeror shall conform to the Contract Line Items 0001-5002 listed in the solicitation demonstrating that they will supply the exact part numbers, quantities and delivery schedule as required. The Offeror must also comply with all requirements in the solicitation in accordance with Section L&M of the solicitation to be found technically acceptable.

Each supplier’s past performance history in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for the Federal Supply Class (FSC) and Product or Service Code (PSC) of the supplies being purchased shall be a minimum of “Neutral”. In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the FSC or PSC of the supplies being purchased, the Offeror will receive a “Neutral” Rating. A rating of “Unacceptable” will result in the Offeror being considered technically unacceptable and ineligible for award.

Past performance ratings are as follows:

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable/Neutral Ratings

3.0 PRICE

An Offeror’s Total Evaluated Price will be determined by multiplying the proposed unit prices by the required quantities identified in each CLIN. For competitive evaluation purposes, the evaluated price for this procurement will be based on a sum of all CLINs at all ranges. Offerors must provide pricing for all CLINs. The maximum quantity per ordering period for each CLIN will be included in the total evaluated price. Each Offeror’s proposed prices will be evaluated to determine if the Offeror’s prices are fair and reasonable.

4.0 AWARD DECISION

After considering the above information, the Government will award to the Offeror whose proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation, is the lowest price and is technically acceptable. In accordance with DFARS 204.7602, an evaluation of each supplier’s past performance history will be performed using the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for the Federal Supply Class (FSC) and Product or Service Code (PSC) of the supplies being purchased. Each supplier’s past performance history in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for the Federal Supply Class (FSC) and Product or Service Code (PSC) of the supplies being purchased shall be a minimum of “Neutral”. In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the FSC or PSC of the supplies being purchased, the Offeror will receive a “Neutral” Rating.

The Government may award a contract on the basis of initial offers received, without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price standpoint. However, if considered necessary by the Contracting Officer, discussions will be conducted with only those offerors determined necessary to ensure efficient competition.

A Competitive Business Clearance Memorandum (BCM) will be reviewed and approved by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO). The Competitive BCM will establish price reasonableness and the Eligible Offeror’s determination of responsibility (FAR 9.103) and financial stability (FAR 9.104-1(a)).

The techniques outlined in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2) will be used to evaluate price reasonableness. Adequate price competition is anticipated. If, after receipt of a proposal, the Procuring Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist and a determination is made that none of the exceptions in FAR § 15.403-1(b) apply, the Offeror may be requested to provide certified cost and pricing data in accordance with FAR § 15.403-4.
