The award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal in accordance with FAR part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

The evaluation criteria detailing the Factors and Subfactors for Vehicle Denial Barrier Repair are detailed below and incorporated in this RFP by reference. Each technical sub- factor within each factor is of equal importance.

B. Evaluation Criteria Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub-factors described. Proposals shall be clear, concise and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements.

The following evaluation factors and sub-factors should be in each proposal section as described below; each section will be used to evaluate each proposal: Government intends to make award without discussions.
