1. An award for this requirement will be made pursuant to FAR 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

2. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

3. Award shall be made to a single contractor. Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable, responsible offeror that meets the requirements of the PWS and this solicitation.

I. TECHNICAL

a. Ability to perform the requirements of the PWS/solicitation based on the submitted technical approach stating how you will meet the requirements of the PWS/solicitation, to include availability of labor mix (labor classification/number of hours) and equipment to perform this effort

b. Ability to satisfactorily perform the requirements of the PWS/solicitation based on the list submitted of no more than five (5) past performance references of contracts for similar services occurring within the last three (3) years. The Government may also use other sources to verify or review past performance.

II. PRICE:

a. Proposals shall include prices for each line item listed and a total price, in order that proposals may be properly evaluated.

b. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) (base period and option periods) for the total evaluated price.

If the offeror shows only the total amount but fails to submit a unit price, the total CLIN amount divided by the quantity will be held as the intended price. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

c. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

III. Failure to provide the requested information may deem the proposal Unacceptable and may not be eligible for award.

IV. The Government will begin the evaluation process with a ranking based on the Total Evaluated Price from the lowest to highest price. Following the price ranking, only the lowest priced offeror(s) will be evaluated for technical acceptability under the non-price factor(s) according to the evaluation criteria set forth in paragraph 3 of this section. If acceptable, the evaluation will stop at that point and award will made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. If unacceptable, the Government will continue to review proposals in order of price until evaluating one that is technically acceptable and eligible for award. The Government reserves the right to conduct additional technical evaluations as deemed necessary.
