SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

The Government may award one (1) firm fixed-price BPA to the responsible Offeror whose proposal that conforms to the RFP, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other price factors considered, such that it provides the best value to the Government. Best value is defined as means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement.

Under best value procurement, the NTSB may reasonably determine that the superior solution/approach merits a higher price and, therefore, represents the best value to the Government or the NTSB may reasonably determine that the Offeror with other than the highest rating in non-price factors is the best value. The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions.

Offerors are cautioned that they must submit a best offer with the initial proposal.

The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals if such action is in the public interest. In addition, the Government may reject or deem a proposal as nonresponsive as described in Section L – Proposal Instructions. Rejected and nonresponsive proposals will be deemed ineligible for award.

EVALUATION FACTORS

The following factors and sub-factor will be evaluated by the Government in descending order of importance:

PROPOSAL PART # FACTORS and SUB-FACTORS TITLE I Factor – 1 Technical Approach Sub-factor 1 Quality of Clothing Sub-factor 2 Delivery ARO II Factor – 2 Price

The Government will evaluate Factor 1 based on the Offeror’s overall understanding of the requirements. An Offeror’s technical approach describes the degree to which the Offeror’s technical capability satisfies all the requirements in the SOW, and demonstrates that the Offeror has a clear understanding and knowledge of the SOW requirements. The Offeror must demonstrate meeting the requirement in a logical, feasible, and technically effective manner.

Offerors are cautioned that proposals that receive an unacceptable rating for Factor 1 will be deemed ineligible for award. Any sub-factor(s) that receive an unacceptable rating may result in an unacceptable rating for Factor 1.

Evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

However, as proposals become more equal in non-price factors, price becomes more important.

Attachment 2 – Price Schedule must be submitted for Factor 2, Price. The price will be evaluated but not scored. Prices will be evaluated by adding together the base year price and all option year prices in Attachment 2 – Price Schedule. Evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Solicitation No. NTSB-R-16-0003 Page 20

Price will be evaluated to determine reasonableness. Reasonableness is the degree to which all prices by their nature and amount do not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
