(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

Entry Gate Criteria

The quoter must be rated acceptable for the following criteria to proceed to full quotation evaluation:

Entry Gate Criteria:

1. The offeror must provide proof of certification from an International Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG) accredited Certification Body (CB) to audit IAW the following standards: AS9100, AS9110 and ISO 45001.

2. The offeror must also provide proof of an Authenticated Experienced Aerospace auditor who is registered with the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG).

3. The offeror must provide proof of certification with IAQG to AS9104/1 Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Quality Management System Certification Programs and AS9104/3 Requirements for Aerospace Auditor Competency and Training Courses.

4. For ISO 45001 the contractor must provide proof registration/certification ISO 17021-1.

5. Familiarization with, and the use of, the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS) is required (AS9100 and AS9110 only, not required for ISO 45001).

The quoter must submit proof of previous work with the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS).

6. Offerors must have recent experience in AS9100, AS9110 and ISO 45001 Audits, training and certification as covered by the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Recent experience is considered work performed within the last five years.

Experience should be directly with AS9100, AS9110 and ISO 45001 certification on Department of Defense (DoD) Facilities.

The offeror must provide evidence of successful AS9100, AS9110 and ISO 45001 audits of Department of Defense (DoD) sites.

Evaluation Factors

This evaluation will utilize comparative analysis IAW RFO FAR 12.203(a) to provide the best value to the Government.

Award may be made to other than the lowest priced quote, if the Government determines that a price premium is warranted due to technical merit.

However, the closer the merits of the technical quote are to one another, the greater will be the importance of price in making the award determination. In the event that two or more technical quotes are determined technically equivalent, award may be made to the lower priced quote provided the price is reasonable.

Responses to this solicitation will be evaluated against the following factors:

Factor 1: Technical

Factor 2: Price

FACTOR 1: Technical.

The quoter shall provide technical information based off the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

The information shall provide, at a minimum, the following information:

a. Demonstrate a structured approach for performing the work in section 5.0 of the PWS.

b. Provide proposed resources necessary to meet the scope and scale of the services set forth in the

PWS.

c. Provide a brief description of current or past work performed in a similar size and scope to the current requirement in the PWS.

d. Provide the experience and certifications sufficient to demonstrate a qualified pool of quoter employees.

Mere re-statements, of the requirements or statements from the quoter that the quoter is compliant that do not include proof that the quoter can demonstrate the aforementioned items, are unacceptable.

If the quote is determined unacceptable in any of the technical evaluation factors or subfactors, the quote may not be considered for award.

In addition to the information submitted by offerors, the Contracting Officer may consider other information reasonably related to the evaluation factors, to include the personal knowledge of the competitor's commercial and Government customers and past performance databases.

The Government may consider any other value-added benefit offered in its best value determination.

The Contracting Officer is not obligated to evaluate all information submitted by each offeror.

For example, the Contracting Officer may curtail evaluation of an offeror's submission if at any point the Contracting Officer determines the competitor is unlikely to provide best value.

The Contracting Officer may communicate with an offeror at any time during the evaluation without regard to the RFO FAR 15.2 rules concerning competitive range determinations and discussions. The Contracting Officer may also identify the offeror most likely to provide best value and hold negotiations solely with that offeror to finalize the order and/or negotiate more favorable terms for the Government.

Factor 2: Price.

Offerors must propose on all items.

The total evaluated price will be computed by adding the total estimated amount for each item.

(b) 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).
