2. Tradeoff Discretion: Offerors are advised that the Government reserves the right to award to a higher-priced offeror if it is determined that the technical merit and reduced performance risk of the higher-priced quote outweigh the price differential.

3. Evaluation Factors: The evaluation will be based on the following three (3) principal factors:

• Factor 1: Technical Capability

• Subfactor 1(a): Proof of OEM Maintenance Certification

• Subfactor 1(b): CMMC Level 2 Compliance Affirmation

• Subfactor 1(c): DISA APL & JITC Listing Verification

• Subfactor 1(d): Work Execution Plan

• Factor 2: Past Performance

• Factor 3: Price

(b) Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors

4. Factor 1 (Technical Capability) is the most important factor and is significantly more important than Factor 2

(Past Performance).

5. Factor 2 (Past Performance) is more important than Factor 3 (Price).

6. Factor 1 and Factor 2, when combined, are significantly more important than Factor 3 (Price).

7. While price is the least important factor, it will be evaluated for price reasonableness in accordance with FAR

13.106-3 and may become the determining factor in award where competing technical quotes are evaluated as substantially equal.

(c) Detailed Factor Submission Requirements & Evaluation Methodology

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Offerors shall submit a technical proposal (not to exceed 10 pages total for Factor 1) addressing each of the following four (4) subfactors. Subfactors 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c) are evaluated on a Pass/Fail (Acceptable/Unacceptable) threshold basis, while Subfactor 1(d) will be evaluated qualitatively for technical merit and risk.

10. On-site technical support procedures and 24/7 emergency response protocols for SAAF, MAAF, and PAAF.

• Evaluation Standard: Evaluated based on the clarity, feasibility, and technical depth of the execution plan, assessing the offeror's understanding of Fort Bragg airfield operations and risk mitigation strategies to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 crash net availability.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

• Submission Requirement: Offerors shall provide up to three (3) past performance references for contracts performed within the last three (3) years that are similar in scope, size, and complexity to this requirement (e.g., airfield crash alarm systems, emergency dispatch networks, or DoD telecommunications infrastructure).
