3. BASIS OF AWARD:

A. A contract may be awarded if a quote is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.1 and conforms to the requirements outlined in the PWS (Attachment 1) and to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the RFQ instructions.

B. Methodology: Upon determining a quote is responsive and contains all elements outlined in

Section 2 of this document, the lowest priced responsive quote will undergo a technical evaluation. If the technical approach and past performance are deemed acceptable, the quote will then move on to price reasonableness determination. If the quote is deemed not acceptable for either the technical approach or past performance factors, the entire quote will be determined not acceptable. The Government intends to make award based on the initial quote submissions but may reach out for clarifications to offerors if needed.

1. Technical Approach: The Government will determine if the quote is technically acceptable based on whether it meets all of the requirements set forth in the PWS, and whether it demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the scope of the work of the requirement and how it will be performed.

2. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate submitted past performance examples as well as other sources, such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, and may contact those sources by any means (phone, email, etc.) to assess past performance. As stated in Section 2.3 above, past performance will be evaluated on the basis of recency and relevancy.

3. Price: The quoted price will be evaluated for price reasonableness, completeness, and balanced pricing. The Government may compare the quote to the Independent Government Estimate (IGE) or may use other analysis techniques.

The Government may request other than certified cost and pricing data prior to award in order to determine price reasonableness. Failure to provide adequate cost and pricing data upon request of the Government may disqualify a quote from award.

i. Completeness: The quote will be evaluated to ensure continuity and traceability of prices to the technical approach document and to the initial quote to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The review will determine the adequacy of the Offeror’s quote in addressing and fulfilling the RFQ requirements.

ii. Reasonableness: For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more analysis techniques.

iii. Unbalanced pricing: The Government shall analyze the quote to determine whether it is unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items and annual periods of performance. An offer that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

4. CLAUSES AND PROVISIONS:

A. See Attachment 2 for all provisions and clauses in their latest editions which apply to this acquisition and are incorporated by reference or full text.
