Evaluation Criteria

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: (Addendum to 52.212-2) Evaluation of Quotes: In accordance with FAR 12.602(a) and FAR 13.106-2, the following is provided:

a. The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this Request for Quotation (RFQ) to the vendor whose quotation conforms to the solicitation and is considered most advantageous to the Government, with price and technical factors being considered. Offerers should propose their best solution to meet the stated requirements.

b. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Price

2. Technical Capability

c. Basis of Award: The award will be made to the vendor whose quotation represents the best value to the government.

Award will be made to the vendor who is deemed responsible, responsive, and represents the best value to the government based on technically acceptability and price. To be eligible for award, a quotation must meet all technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and provide all information required as defined in Addendum to 52.212-1. To be rated "technically acceptable" the offer must have an "acceptable" rating in the Technical Factor. The technical area will be evaluated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis. The Government reserves the right to hold interchanges with all, some, or no quoters. Additionally, if no quotes are rated technically acceptable, the CO has reserved the right to cancel the Solicitation in lieu of conducting interchanges. In this case, the Government is under no obligation to release a new Solicitation.

d. Evaluation Process: In the event that multiple quotes are deemed technically acceptable after responsiveness is determined, price will be the determining factor. Then that quoter will be evaluated for responsibility using the guidance and general standards set forth at FAR 9.104-1. Any negative entries found may be grounds for determining a quoter non-responsible and would further make them ineligible for award. Common united states government systems used during this process are:

TECHNICAL EXHIBIT

a. The technical factor will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis and assigned a rating on whether the quote meets the solicitation requirements. Extra credit will not be assigned for exceeding the acceptable/ unacceptable criteria.

A rating of "Acceptable" will be required in the factor to be eligible for award.
