• Volume II – Price Proposal

Each volume shall be submitted as a separate PDF file and clearly labeled. Each volume shall include a cover page identifying the solicitation title and the offeror’s name.

The Technical Volume shall not contain any pricing information. Inclusion of price information in the Technical Volume may render the proposal unacceptable.

(b) Volume I – Technical Proposal Checklist Offerors shall include the following in Volume I:

Checklist Item Included (Yes/No)

Completed Technical Proposal Checklist Confirmation of active SAM.gov registration (must be active at time of proposal submission and award) Company name, POC, phone number, email, and UEI (SF 1449 Block 17) Signed SF 1449 by authorized representative (excluding pricing blocks) Signed amendments (SF 30), if applicable Completed provisions (e.g., FAR 52.204-24, 52.204-26, etc.)

(IX) FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, represents the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.

This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b). The Government intends to evaluate offers and may make award without exchanges; however, the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges if determined necessary.

The Government will use a comparative evaluation (tradeoff) approach. While the Government is not required to assign formal weights, non-price factors are more important than price. As the differences between proposals in non-price factors decrease, price may become the determining factor.

(1) Evaluation Factors The Government will evaluate proposals using the following factors:

(i) Technical The Government will evaluate the extent to which the proposal demonstrates the offeror’s ability to meet the requirements of the PWS. Evaluation will consider:

• Understanding of requirements

• Soundness of approach

• Feasibility of execution

• Quality control methods

• Completeness and clarity

(ii) Past Performance The Government will evaluate past performance for recency, relevancy, and quality. The Government may use information obtained from sources other than those provided by the offeror. If past performance information is unavailable or insufficient, the offeror may be assigned a neutral rating.

(iii) Price The Government will evaluate total price, including all CLINs and option CLINs. Prices will be evaluated for completeness, reasonableness, and balance.

(iv) Small Business Participation Offerors are advised that small business participation will be evaluated as part of the source selection process in accordance with DOI-AAAP-0174. Offerors should describe the extent and quality of their small business participation, including commitments to small business subcontractors, the roles those subcontractors will perform, and the percentage of work allocated to small businesses. The Government may consider the level of small business participation as part of the overall evaluation in determining best value.

(2) Basis for Award Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value. The Government may select other than the lowest-priced proposal if a higher-priced proposal is determined to provide superior technical merit or lower performance risk that justifies the price premium. Conversely, the Government may select a lower-priced proposal if the additional benefits of a higher-rated proposal do not warrant the additional cost.

(3) Options The Government will evaluate options in accordance with FAR 52.217-5. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise them.

(4) Award A written notice of award or acceptance shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(End of provision)

(X) The offeror shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Products and Commercial Services, with its offer.

(XI) The clause at FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies to this acquisition.

(XII) The clause at FAR52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Products and Commercial Services, applies to this acquisition.

(XIII) The Government intends to award a contract with one base year, three option years and a six-month service extension resulting from this solicitation.

(XIV) Proposal Due Date & NPS POC: Proposals are required to be received in the contracting office no later than 11:59 P.M. HT on April 17, 2026. All proposals must be emailed to the attention of Lei Yang, Contracting Officer (CO) at lei_yang@ios.doi.gov

(XV) Questions/RFIs: Any questions or Requests for Information (RFI) regarding this solicitation should be emailed to Lei Yang at lei_yang@ios.doi.gov no later than 12:00 P.M. HT on April 8, 2026.
