EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD (SECTION M)

Part I: Evaluation Process

1. Basis for Contract Award:

In accordance with FAR Part 12 and Part 36, the Government intends to award a single, Firm- Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to the responsible and responsive HUBZone offeror whose proposal represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) to the Government.

2. Order of Evaluation:

Step 1: Price Sort. All complete proposals will be ranked by total proposed price, from lowest to highest.

Step 2: Technical Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the technical proposal of the lowest-priced offeror. If found Technically Acceptable, the evaluation stops, and award will be made to that offeror (pending a responsibility determination and HUBZone status verification).

Step 3: Successive Evaluation. If the lowest-priced proposal is found Technically Unacceptable, the Government will proceed to evaluate the next lowest-priced proposal, and so on, until a proposal is found to be Technically Acceptable.

Part II: Evaluation Factors

Factor 1: Technical Acceptability

Evaluation Standard: The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical proposal on a pass/fail basis. To receive an "Acceptable" rating, the proposal must meet the following minimum criteria:

1. Technical Narrative: The offeror provided a clear and adequate technical narrative explaining how the installation and commissioning work will be accomplished in strict accordance with the SOW dated 17 April 2026.

2. Subcontractor Identification: If utilizing subcontractors, the offeror identified them and the percentage of work to be performed, ensuring compliance with HUBZone subcontracting parameters (FAR 52.219-3).

Factor 2: Price

Evaluation Standard: The Government will evaluate the total proposed price for fairness, reasonableness, completeness, and compliance.

Reasonableness: Price reasonableness will be determined primarily through a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(i).

Proposed prices may also be compared to historical contract prices for similar installations or the internal Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(v).

Completeness: The offeror must submit a complete Attachment 0003 - Contractor Cost Breakdown Form detailing all direct labor, materials, equipment, and separately identifying Overhead/G&A and Profit in the designated summary cells.

Labor Compliance: The Government will evaluate the Contractor's proposed direct hourly labor rates to ensure they meet or exceed the mandatory minimum base wage plus fringe benefit rates specified in the attached Davis-Bacon Act Wage Determination (NJ20260027, dated May 18, 2026). Proposed direct labor rates that fall below the mandatory prevailing minimums will result in the proposal being rejected.

Part III: Technical Acceptability Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets all minimum technical requirements and HUBZone criteria outlined in the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal fails to meet one or more of the minimum requirements outlined in Factor 1.

Note: An "Unacceptable" rating for the Technical Proposal will render the entire offer ineligible for award.

HQ AMC-Level Protest Program

If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an

Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the General Accounting Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103.

Send protests (other than protests to the contracting officer) to:

Address:

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command

Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel

(1) Has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award (e.g., for a small business set-aside contract, any small business concern, without regard to its socioeconomic status); and

(2) Is considered small for the size standard under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract.

(c) Applicability. This clause applies only to-

(1) Contracts that have been set aside for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3);

(2) Part or parts of a multiple-award contract that have been set aside for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3);

(5) Orders, regardless of dollar value, that are set aside in accordance with sections 19.105, 19.106, 19.107, and 19.108 under multiple-award contracts, as described in 8.4 and 16.5; and

(6) Contracts using the HUBZone price evaluation preference to award to a HUBZone small business concern unless the concern waived the evaluation preference.

(e) By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Contractor agrees that in performance of a contract assigned a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for-

(1) Services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the service portion of the contract;

(2) Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such supplies), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. When a contract includes both supplies and services, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the supply portion of the contract;

(3) General construction, it will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded; or

(4) Construction by special trade contractors, it will not pay more than 75 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options.

(2) Affiliates, as used in this definition, means business concerns, one of whom directly or indirectly controls or has the power to control the others, or a third party or parties control or have the power to control the others. In determining whether affiliation exists, consideration is given to all appropriate factors including common ownership, common management, and contractual relationships. SBA determines affiliation based on the factors set forth at 13 CFR 121.103.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern, a small disadvantaged business concern, or a joint venture that was any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3) prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size and socioeconomic status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon occurrence of any of the following:

(2) Used the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the Contractor waived the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Was an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

The Contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.
