Section 00 22 16 - Supplementary Instructions to Proposers

Basis for Award - Evaluation

The Government will award a single indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors, under FAR 13.106-2 shall be used to evaluate proposals comparatively without priced tradeoffs: price, technical solution to meet the Government's requirements, contractor capabilities, and past performance. Proposals will first be reviewed for conformance with the solicitation. Proposals that fail to conform to the solicitation may be rejected and not evaluated further unless the Contracting Officer determine that is in the Government's best interest to permit submission of a revised proposal.

The contractor-prepared Statement of Work (SOW) and schedule for the seed project will be considered for the technical solution factor and evaluated by how well it meets the Government's intent for the project. Contractor capabilities will be evaluated using the submitted capability statement.

Offerors with in-house capabilities to perform the seed project will be evaluated more favorably.

Information the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) will be used in the evaluation of past performance in accordance with provision DFARS 252.204-7024. Additional past performance information may be considered at the Contracting Officer's discretion.

Prices will be evaluated using the techniques at FAR 13.106-3(a). Unrealistically low prices and any attempts to "buy-in" on the seed project by proposing materials, labor, and repair methods below fair market prices will be rejected at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

The most advantageous for each factor and overall will be assessed based on direct comparison of proposals - without objective standards - pursuant to FAR 13.106-2(b)(3). The formal evaluation procedures of FAR subpart 15.3 will not be used.
