BEST VALUE TRADEOFF ACQUISITION WITH ADJECTIVAL RATING PDMS

For this solicitation, PDM and Past Performance will be reviewed. Aspects of Past Performance are Recency, Relevancy and Quality.

SPE1C1-23-R-0094

Form (CONTINUED)

1. Best Value Source Selection Trade-Off Procedures Source Selection procedures will be utilized for this solicitation.

“Best Value” evaluation will be employed using the following evaluation factors: Product Demonstration Model (PDM), Past Performance and Price.

All PDMs will be evaluated using adjectival ratings in accordance with the criteria outlined in the solicitation. There will be no allowable re-submittals for PDM (Product Demonstration Model).

2. The Government will also review the second evaluation factor: Past Performance. The Government intends to award to the firm who is the best value to the Government with regards to passing PDMs, and acceptable Past Performance and Price. Passing PDMs and Past Performance when combined are more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated price becomes more important. From among the firms with Passing PDMs, the Government will then select the responsible firm that complies with terms and conditions of the solicitation, and an award to that firm is considered in the best interest of the Government. If the firm fits these criteria, award will be made to them. If not, the Government will review each subsequent technically acceptable offer until one is identified that does meet the criteria, in which case award will be made to that firm.

NOTE: A rating of Unacceptable for any PDM will result in the offer being removed from award consideration and the proposal will not be reviewed any further.

A rating of Marginal for any PDM may result in the offer being removed from award consideration and the proposal will not be reviewed any further.

NOTE: The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance up until award.

3. This solicitation will contain a Two-Phase Technical/Price Evaluation.

The Government anticipates that numerous offerors will submit proposals on this solicitation. In the event that eight or more proposals are received, the Government may use a two-phase evaluation process, which allows the Contracting Officer to conduct a preliminary evaluation of all offers, in order to determine which offers are the least likely to be candidates for further consideration. During this preliminary evaluation, all offerors Product Demonstration Models (PDMs) and proposed prices will be evaluated. Certain offerors may be excluded from further consideration at this point, if their PDM ratings and/or offered prices are not competitive when compared with PDM ratings and prices proposed by other offerors. The remaining offers will then be evaluated for the remaining technical and past performance evaluation factors. After the completion of this review, the contracting officer will determine whether to establish a competitive range and conduct negotiations, or to award without discussions.

4. The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations with a competitive range group of offerors from among firms with most highly rated offers. If negotiations are conducted, award will be made to the offeror (based on final proposal revision) that is the best value to the Government, has a passing PDM or better, and is determined responsible and compliant with the solicitation terms and conditions based on an “integral assessment of PDM, Past Performance and Price".

A LOT THAT WAS REJECTED FOR SHADE SHALL BE SCREENED AND ALL DEFECTIVE PIECES IN THE LOT SHALL BE REMOVED BEFORE SUCH A LOT IS RESUBMITTED. RESUBMITTED LOTS SHALL AGAIN BE SUBJECTED TO THE SAMPLING AND SHADE EVALUATION PRESCRIBED HEREIN. THIS REQUIREMENT DOES NOT NEGATE THE CONTACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PERFORM SHADE

EVALUATION PRIOR TO THE SUBMITTAL OF A LOT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

(B) WHEN SECTION 3 OF THE FABRIC SPECIFICATION CONTAINS A SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT FOR UNIFORMITY OF SHADE AND WHEN THE STANDARD SAMPLE IS REFERENCED FOR UNIFORMITY OF SHADE, THE SWATCHES SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH (A) ABOVE SHALL ALSO BE EVALUATED FOR UNIFORMITY OF SHADE.
