Project Title

Factor 2: Past Performance

The offeror must demonstrate their record of successful performance in past contracts and/or jobs that are similar in scope and size of this request. The Government is seeking to determine whether the Offeror has the experience that will enhance its technical capability to perform the tasks described in the statement of work.

• As a result of the relevancy and quality assessments of the past contracts/jobs evaluated, the offeror will be assigned a confidence rating to their Past Performance factor. It is the Government’s assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the requirements of the project based on the offeror’s experience level to projects similar in size and scope to this requirement.

Factor 3: Price

The Offeror must submit a completed price schedule or price proposal that demonstrates a unit price and a total amount for each line item listed. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the

Government to exercise the option(s).

• Total evaluated price will be calculated for evaluation purposes only and used to assist in determining the best value to the Government. The total evaluated price will be evaluated as follows:

• Price Reasonableness: Determination whether it is reasonable and if the quotation reflects an understanding of the requirement. Price competition is expected to support the determination of reasonableness. This factor will be evaluated as identified in FAR Part 15.305(a)(1).

• Balanced Pricing: Unbalanced pricing is referenced at FAR Part 15.404-1(g).

• Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items are significantly overstated or underestimated as indicated by the application of analysis techniques. Offerors are cautioned that offers that are determined to be "materially unbalanced" may result in the offer being rejected because the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the

Government.

• Technical and past performance, when combined, are more important than cost or price.

• The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the low-priced quoter if another superior technical submission, or a submission indicating a reduced performance risk, warrants paying a premium. As non-price factors are evaluated closer to one another between quotes, price will become more significant. Furthermore, the Government reserves the right to award no order at all, depending on the quality of the quotes, the availability of funding and the continued existence of the requirement.

Project Title

Evaluation Methodology: The quotations shall be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria and relative weights set forth in the solicitation. The evaluator will read each quotation and describe, in writing, the strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies identified to support the scores given to each quote. The adjectival ratings will be consistent with the evaluator’s written narratives; i.e., a high rating should be supported by a narrative identifying a significant number of strengths and a minimum number of weaknesses. Any quotation that is unrealistic, in terms of technical approach, schedule commitments, and or costs (high or low) will be deemed unacceptable. The evaluators will use the following adjective rating scales:

TECHNICAL RATING SCALE

Adjectival Rating Description

Outstanding Quote meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good Quote meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Quote contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offset or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Quote does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The quote has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Quote is unawardable.

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE

Rating Description

Substantial

Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory

Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence

(Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Project Title

Pharmacy Reverse Distribution Services

Basis for Award: Selection of the successful offeror will be made based on the evaluation criteria. The quotations will be evaluated and a contract awarded under the Best Value Continuum approach to permit tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors. This will allow the Government to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror who meets or exceeds the technical acceptability standards established in the factors referenced above. Technical and past performance, when combined, are more important than cost or price.
