L.5.5 VOLUME 5 – ORGANIZATIONAL RISK ASSESSMENT

A “business arrangement”, for the purposes of this evaluation factor, is defined as 1) an individual company, 2) a joint venture, or 3) a prime contractor and its proposed first tier subcontractor team.

“Previously performed”, for the purposes of this evaluation factor, is defined as performance that took place before the issuance of the A2SB solicitation.

A business arrangement is considered to have previously performed if one of the following applicable conditions is met:

An individual company (that is not proposing as part of a joint venture or with a team of subcontractors) A joint venture has previously performed work on a contract or order Each proposed subcontractor has previously performed on a contract or order as a subcontractor to the offering prime contractor.

If the Offeror’s proposed direct labor rate is either lower or higher than the provided range, the Offeror’s pricing may be deemed to be not fair and reasonable.

L.5.7 VOLUME 7 – RESPONSIBILITY

L.5.7.1 Financial Resources GSA Form 527 For Offerors proposing as an unpopulated joint venture, financial responsibility documents required by Volume 7 must be submitted for each member of the joint venture. For populated joint ventures, financial responsibility documents required by Volume 7 must be submitted for the joint venture itself.

For Offerors proposing subcontractors, the GSA Form 527 and all attachments must be provided by the Offeror and all proposed subcontractors. Determinations of prospective subcontractor responsibility may affect the Government’s determination of the prospective prime contractor’s responsibility.

Evaluation

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The source selection process on the Alliant 2 Small Business GWAC will neither be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) nor Tradeoffs. Within the best value continuum, FAR 15.101 defines best value as using any one or a combination of source selection approaches. For the Master Contract, the Highest Technically Rated Offerors with a Fair and Reasonable Price will determine the best value basis for contract awards.

The GWAC Program will issue Multiple Awards to a maximum of 80 contractors. Even if there is a single point difference between Offeror 80 and Offer 81, only the Offeror in the 80th position will receive an award. In the event of a tie at the maximum number 80 position, all Offerors tied at the 80th position will receive an award.
