EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD USING LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE PROCEDURES (IAW FAR 13.106-2(b), 14.201-5(c), and 15.204-5(c))

1.0 Basis for Contract Award

This acquisition will utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.101-2, as supplemented. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Award will be made to the acceptable offeror with the lowest evaluated cost or price, which is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR and whose proposal confirms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation.

It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions, excepting clarifications pursuant to FAR 15.306(a); therefore, it is imperative that offeror’s submit their best terms initially. However, if during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs), and the Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) will be considered in making the source selection decision.

2.0 Number of Contracts to be Awarded

The Government intends to select one contractor. However, the Government reserves the right to award multiple contracts for reduced quantities or no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposals and prices submitted and the availability of funds.

3.0 Rejection of Unrealistic Offers

The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unreasonable cost when compared to Government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

4.0 Correction Potential of Proposals

The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the “correction potential” of any deficiency or proposal inadequacy.

The judgment of such “correction potential” is within the sole discretion of the Government. If an aspect of an offeror’s proposal not meeting the Governments’ requirements is not considered correctable, the offeror may be eliminated from the competitive range.

5.0 Competitive Range Determination

During the evaluation process multiple competitive range determinations may be made that eliminate Offerors from the competition. A competitive range determination may eliminate Offerors based on their initial proposal evaluation results, after discussions (if necessary), prior to issuance of the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) request or for efficiency. If Offerors are excluded from the competitive range they may request a debriefing IAW FAR 15.505.

6.0 PRE-AWARD SURVEY

The Government may conduct a pre-award survey (PAS) as part of this source selection. Results of the PAS (if conducted) will be evaluated to determine each offeror’s capability to meet the requirements of the solicitation.

7.0 PLANT VISITS

In the event discussions are necessary, plant visits may be conducted during the evaluation phase to develop knowledge for judging the potential for correction of the deficiencies.

8.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR AWARD

IAW FAR 13.106-2(b), 14.201-5(c), and 15.204-5(c) For the purpose of award, offers will be evaluated for acceptability of evaluation factors described below:

FACTOR 1: Price/Cost Factor FACTOR 2: Technical Factor

8.1 ORDER OF IMPORTANCE

Factor 1 (Cost/Price) and Factor 2 (Technical) are of equal importance.

8.2 EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

Price will be evaluated first and the proposals will be listed from lowest to highest price. After price is evaluated the technical acceptability evaluation will begin; starting with the lowest evaluated priced offeror. In accordance with solicitation clause Evaluation Cost Factor for First Article (Oct 1988, IAW FAR 9.306(i)), for any new manufactured offeror in which submission of First Articles is required, the Government will add an evaluation cost of $13,383.00 to the offeror's total proposed price to obtain the offeror's total evaluated price. Technical will be evaluated second. The first proposal evaluated as technically acceptable will be considered the best value proposal and all other technical evaluations will cease. This means that all offers may not be completely evaluated. Only those offeror’s determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions will be considered for award. The technical factor rating depicts acceptable and unacceptable.

8.3 Factor 1: Price/Cost Factor

(1) The quantity utilized for evaluation will be based on the total quantity required at time of award by the Government Requirements group. The offeror’s price/cost proposal will be evaluated for award purposes by multiplying the proposed unit price by the quantity desired by the Government to determine the contractor’s total price.

Quotes for Bid A will be evaluated as follows:

The contractor’s proposal for Line Item 0001AA (First Article Unit Expend in Testing), Line Item 0001AB (First Article Unit Non-Expend in Testing), Line Item 0001AC (New Manufactured Material – Production Quantity), Line Item 0002(New Manufactured Material). The estimated cost factor of $13,383.00 for Government First Article test/inspection evaluation will be added to this total. The cumulative price of these five (5) factors will be used in evaluation of quotes submitted under Bid A.

Quotes for Bid B will be evaluated as follows:

The contractor’s proposal for range quantity under Line Item 0001D- New Manufacture Material Production Units and Line Item 0002- New Manufactured Material are the price factors that will be used in evaluation. The cumulative price of these two (2) factors will be used in evaluation of quotes submitted under Bid B.

(2) The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Analysis of cost/price proposals will be performed using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1 in order to determine price reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.

(3) The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unreasonable in terms of program commitments, contract terms and conditions, or unreasonable cost when compared to Government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

(4) Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment or unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or subline items. Offers that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the government.

(5) If incidental or miscellaneous expenses not related to specific Line Item structure accompany vendor proposals, these charges shall be added to the total Line Item cost/price to reach the final total cost/price proposed to the Government.

8.4 Factor 2: Technical

(1) Technical proposals are not required. Technical acceptability will be determined based on the offeror’s compliance with the requirements as stated in section B Schedule and/or any referenced specifications, subcontracting plan (if required), CEMS, CDRL, Data Item Description, Material Certification and all other attachments herein.
