Factors other than price shall be considered, and a Price/Technical Tradeoff analysis of both price and non-price factors will be conducted as part of each submission’s evaluation.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Compliance with Specifications

The Government will evaluate proposals based on how well the proposed product(s) meet the minimum requirements of Attachment 1.

Rating Description

Acceptable The proposal meets all product/specification requirements listed in Attachment 1 Unacceptable The proposal does NOT meet all product/specification requirements listed in

Attachment 1

2. Supplier’s Risk Assessment

• IAW DFARS 252.204-7024 (DEVIATION 2026-O0043), the contracting officer shall consider data available in the statistical reporting module of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) regarding the supplier’s past performance history for the PSC and/or NAICS of the supplies being purchased.

• Ratings:

o Low Risk: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Blue, Purple, or Green, indicating a higher score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a lower risk of poor contract performance o High Risk: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Yellow or Red, indicating a lower score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a higher risk of poor contract performance o Neutral: In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the NAICS or PSC of the supplies being purchased, the supplier may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history.

3. Cost/Price

The Government anticipates making a determination of fair and reasonable price based on competitive quotes as described in FAR 12.204(a). If only one response is received, the Government will determine the price to be fair and reasonable using standard price analysis techniques (e.g. knowledgeable sources, market research, historical prices, etc.).

(b) Order of Importance: Factor 1 (Compliance with Specifications), Factor 2 (Supplier’s Risk Assessment) and Factor 3 (Cost/Price) are EQUALLY IMPORTANT.

(c) Award on Initial Responses; Exchanges with Best-Suited Contractor: The Government anticipates selecting the best-suited contractor from initial responses, without engaging in exchanges with vendors. Vendors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and price in response to this RFQ. However, the Government may engage in limited exchanges to clarify certain aspects of quotes. Once the Government determines the contractor that is the best-suited (i.e., the apparent successful contractor), the Government reserves the right to communicate with only that contractor to address any remaining issues and revise quotes, if necessary, and finalize an award with that contractor. These issues may include technical and price. If the parties cannot successfully address any remaining issues, as determined in the sole discretion of the Government, the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges with the next best-suited contractor and address any remaining issues and revise quotes, if necessary, and finalize an award with that contractor.
