EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR TECHNICAL ARMY SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER

The Technical Army Sign Language Interpreter requirement will be evaluated based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Criteria as listed below.

Criteria: Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price for quotes meeting the acceptability standards for the non-priced factors. Quotes will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-price factors. The Price Factor will not receive an adjectival rating. The Government will evaluate each proposal and the Contracting Officer will assess the results of the Evaluation Factors, listed below.

Evaluation Factors:

Factor 1 – Technical Factor 2 – Price

1. Technical Factor: Proposals will be evaluated based on whether the Offeror’s quote meets or does not meet the requirements as set forth in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Offeror shall be assigned an adjectival rating of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” The Offeror shall address all requirements listed in PWS.

To receive an acceptable rating, the Offeror must submit a quote that provides all quantities and configuration requirements in accordance with the PWS, and meets the Government’s period of performance requirements specified in the PWS.

The following adjectival ratings will be utilized in the Technical Factor evaluation:

2. Price Factor The price proposal will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). Price will not be scored.

The Price Factor will not have an adjectival rating assigned. The total evaluated price is the total price proposed for this requirement.

Price Inconsistencies: A proposal is presumed to represent an Offeror’s best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any significant inconsistencies, if unexplained, raise a fundamental issue of the Offeror’s understanding of the nature and scope of work required and their financial ability to perform the contract, and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.
