(1) Price - The government will evaluate the Quoter’s proposed price to ensure it is fair and reasonable;

(2) Past Performance – Go/No-Go Evaluation The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance on a Go/No-Go basis. The assessment will be based on the following criteria:

• Timeliness of Deliveries: The Offeror must demonstrate a consistent record of on-time deliveries. Documented instances of late deliveries, including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluations and communications with other Contracting Officers, will be reviewed. A history of substantial delivery delays will result in a "No-Go" determination.

• Order Accuracy and Completeness: The Offeror must show a track record of delivering complete and accurate orders. Evidence of recurring issues such as missing or incorrect items—supported by customer complaints, returns, or input from other Contracting Officers—will be considered. A pattern of incomplete or inaccurate deliveries will result in a "No-Go" determination. Only Offerors receiving a "Go" rating under this factor will be considered eligible for award.
