The Government intends to award a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract.

2. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as factors or subfactors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable. The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order in response to this RFQ.

3. Evaluation Factor

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The relative importance of each factor is as follows: 1) Technical Proposal, and 2) Price are listed in descending order of their importance. The Government’s technical evaluation team shall evaluate offers on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. An “Unacceptable” rating will render the entire quote unacceptable and, therefore, unawardable. Technically acceptable is defined as providing a plan that is acceptable to the government that meets or exceeds the requirements, IAW the Performance Work Statement.

The contractor is encouraged to exceed these minimum technical specifications to demonstrate its technical, operational, and administrative expertise in support of customer’s customer ability to supply the requirements.

I. TECHNICAL

a. Offer is determined to be technically acceptable by meeting all technical requirements and certification in accordance with the PWS.

b. Ability to perform the requirements of the PWS/ RFQ based on the submitted technical approach stating how all requirements of the RFQ/attachments will be met.

Adjectival Rating of Acceptable: Acceptable offers meet all technical requirements and certification(s) in accordance with the PWS and solicitation.

Adjectival Rating of Unacceptable: Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the SOW and the solicitation.

II. PRICE:

a. Proposals shall include prices for each line item listed and should include a total price in, in order that proposals may be properly evaluated.

b. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all

Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) for the total evaluated price. In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the total CLIN amount, the unit price will be held as the intended price multiplied by the number of units. If the offeror shows only the total amount but fails to submit a unit price, the total CLIN amount divided by the quantity will be held as the intended price.

c. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

4. The Past Performance Information Retrieval System and Federal Awardee Performance & Integrity Information Systems as well any other Government-sponsored information available may be utilized to help make a responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.104.

5. The Government will begin the evaluation process with a ranking based on the Total Evaluated Price from the lowest to highest price. Following the price ranking, only the lowest priced offeror(s) will be evaluated for technical acceptability under the non-price factor(s) according to the evaluation criteria set forth in this section. If acceptable, the evaluation will stop at that point and award will made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. If unacceptable, the Government will continue to review proposals in order of price until evaluating one that is technically acceptable and eligible for award. The Government reserves the right to conduct additional technical evaluations as deemed necessary.

6. Failure to provide the requested information may deem the proposal Unacceptable and may not be eligible for award.
