SECTION M

EVALUATION OF QUOTES

A. EVALUATION OF QUOTES. This acquisition will utilize a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Selection Approach authorized at FAR 15.101-2. The Offeror shall submit an active SAM registration. If a quote lacks the appropriate SAM registration, the quote will not be further evaluated and the quote will be eliminated from any further consideration. After SAM registration is verified, three factors will be evaluated:

(I) Technical, (II) Past Performance, and (III) Price

Upon completing the evaluation of the three factors, award will be made to the offeror whose quote is the lowest priced technically acceptable. The Government expects to award one Firm-Fixed Price Contract with a 90 Day base period from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The Government reserves the right to: limit the Competitive Range for the purposes of efficiency; award without discussions; and make no award should no Offeror prove to submit an acceptable offer based on the criteria set forth in the solicitation.

B. CORRECTION POTENTIAL OF QUOTES. The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of any quote uncertainty or deficiency. Uncertainty is any aspect of a non-cost/price factor quote for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear (e.g., more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the quote indicating that there may have been an error, omission or mistake). Deficiency is a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001. The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. If an aspect of an Offeror's quote not meeting the Government's requirements is not considered correctable, the Offeror may be eliminated from the Competitive Range.

C. NUMBER OF CONTRACT AWARDS. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the quotes, prices submitted, and the availability of funds. The Government intends to make one award.

D. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY AND AWARD DECISION. Quotes will be rated only on their content.

Assumptions, preconceived ideas, and personal knowledge or opinions not supported by material provided in the quote will not be considered or used as a basis for evaluation. Each quote will be evaluated against the solicitation criteria included below. The Government intends to make one award without discussions.

I. Offeror must be registered in SAM and have an active UEI number and CAGE code before quote submission. Registration will be verified via SAM.GOV website of approved contractors. In the event and Offeror fails to provide or possess the appropriate registration documentation/information at the time the quote is submitted, the quote will not be further evaluated. If the Offeror submits an approved SAM registration, the following evaluation factor ratings will be applied to the quotes:

II. Technical Capability Factor. The Technical Quote will be evaluated and an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating will be assigned to all Subfactors. An Unacceptable rating for any Subfactor will result in an overall Unacceptable rating for the Technical Capability Factor. The evaluation of the Technical Capability Factor Quote will consist of an evaluation of the following Subfactors:

a. Saudi Arabian Business License and VAT Certificate.

• Quote submission contains legible copies of the offeror’s business license and VAT certificate for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. (KSA)

b. Technical Plan. When evaluating the Offeror’s Technical Plan, the Government will determine if:

• The Technical Plan demonstrates a sound technical approach and a thorough understanding of the necessary methods and techniques required to meet performance standards and customer requirements in accordance with the SOW.

• The plan is detailed and comprehensive making clear references to requirements outlined in the

SOW.

• The quote demonstrates an ability to provide all the resources (personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, material, supervision, insurance and other items and services) necessary to perform the SOW.

• The plan addresses how established standards, specifications, and regulations referenced in the SOW will be met.

• The plan shall display a thorough understanding of applicable (if any) Saudi Arabian regulations as well as US Department of Defense (DoD) and Army statutes and regulations, that demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to perform the requirements in accordance with the SOW.

• The plan conveys an understanding of how to perform the mission within the environment for which these operations will occur.

• The plan describes an effective approach for ensuring clear communication between the contractor and Government, measures customer satisfaction, and includes a customer feedback program.

• The Technical Plan describes appropriate and defined timelines and milestones for sequence of work, assumptions, and constraints that demonstrate a clear understanding of the SOW.

Table 1. The following ratings and associated definitions will be used to rate the Saudi Arabian Business License and VAT Certificate and Technical Plan.

Rating Definition Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

III. Past Performance Factor. The Government will ensure that at least three references were included with the Offeror’s quote submission. Past Performance information will be evaluated, and an Acceptable or Unacceptable rating will be assigned. Sources of Past Performance information for Evaluation are as follows:

i. Past Performance information may be provided by the Offeror, as solicited.

ii. Past Performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; the Defense Contract Management Agency, etc.

Table 2. The following ratings and associated definitions will be used to rate the Past Performance of Offerors

Rating Definition Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror with insufficient references from a USG organization, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

IV. Price Factor. The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be evaluated and ranked but will not be assigned an adjectival rating. Quotes will be evaluated based on price reasonableness IAW FAR 15.404-1(b), Proposal Analysis Techniques, relative to total evaluated price.

The Government will evaluate and assess the Contractor’s price proposal to determine the fairness and reasonableness of the offer, in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, Proposal Analysis Techniques; the Government may use any one or a combination of the techniques listed at FAR 15.404-1. The Contracting Officer may determine it necessary to utilize additional analysis techniques.

These methods of evaluation may include but are not limited to information and input from sources such as other Government agencies and personnel and/or requiring contractor to submit data other than cost or pricing data if competition is inadequate for that purpose.

Unbalanced Pricing – As part of the cost evaluation, proposals may be reviewed to identify any Unbalanced Pricing. In accordance with FAR 15.404‐1(g), Unbalanced Pricing, a proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk.

Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.
