SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1. BASIS FOR AWARD

M.1.1. GENERAL The Government plans to award a firm fixed price, multiple award IDIQ type contract for the ACFT equipment program as a result of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to choose not to award a contract if such action is in the Governments best interest.

M.1.1.1. There are two evaluation factors:

a. Technical Factor

b. Price Factor

M.1.1.2. It is the Governments intent to award up to two contracts for 18,304 ACFT sets each, but reserves the right to award only one contract up to 36,608 ACFT sets. Award will be made using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process, where award will be made on the basis of the two lowest total evaluated priced proposals meeting the technical acceptability standards for minimum estimated quantity of 18,304 ACFT equipment sets each. The Government will follow the process set forth in Section M.3 below. Under this scenario, pricing under CLIN 0010AA is FFP. Pricing established for 36,608 ACFT sets under CLINs 0010AA, 0011, 0012, and 0013 in

Attachment 0001 rev1 will be used for price evaluation only in accordance with Section L.4.2.5.1.

M.1.1.2.1. In the event that the Government awards a single contract, the contractor will receive a delivery order award up to the total minimum quantity of 36,608 ACFT sets, in accordance with Sections F.3.2., L.4.2.5.1, and M.3.5. The offeror will be evaluated for the maximum estimated quantity of 50,000 ACFT equipment sets. Under this scenario pricing under CLINs 0010AA, 0011, 0012, and 0013 in

Attachment 0001 rev1 are FFP.

M.1.1.3. Award without Discussions: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (this excludes clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a) which the Government reserves the right to conduct in order to obtain information to support the Pricing and Administrative volumes but shall not be obtained to revise the offerors proposed price or to obtain essential information to determine acceptability of the Technical Volume). Therefore, the offerors initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If discussions are held, they will be conducted with all offerors included in the competitive range.

M.1.2. Eligibility for Award. Award will only be made to an offeror who is eligible for award. To be eligible for award:

a. The offeror must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) (see provision 52.204-7); and

b. The offeror must be considered a small business in accordance with NAICS 339920; and

c. The offeror must be determined acceptable under the L.4.1. Technical Factor; and

d. The offeror must be determined responsible (See Section M.3.4.); and

e. The offeror must be one of the two lowest evaluated prices in accordance with Section L.4.2. Price Factor.

M.2 REJECTION OF OFFERS

M.2.1. The Government may reject any proposal if doing so is in the Government's best interest. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following proposal conditions:

a. The proposal fails to meaningfully respond to the instructions in Section L of this solicitation (e.g.. fails to provide the required substantiating evidence outlined in Section L, fails to submit pricing attachment 0001 rev1 in accordance with the instructions; fails to submit Technical Information Questionnaire attachment 0002 in accordance with the instructions; fails to follow key proposal instructions or format requirements in Section L; or fails to provide data and information required in Section L); or

b. When an offerors proposal offers a product or service that does not meet all stated material requirements of the solicitation; or

c. The proposal proposes exceptions to the solicitation requirements, attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or solicitation terms and conditions; or

d. The proposal contains one or more OCIs that cannot be avoided or mitigated. Refer to Section L.3. of this solicitation, "Organizational Conflict of Interest."; or

e. The proposal is unbalanced as to price. See Section M.3.7.4.; or

f. The proposals acceptance period does not meet the Governments required minimum acceptance period (Refer to Section L.1.2.), or

g. The proposal does not meet the required delivery schedule in accordance with F.3.1.

M.3. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND PROCESS

11 13

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

M.3.1. Compliance Review. After receipt of proposals, but prior to the evaluation process, the Government will perform a compliance review of the offerors proposal to determine the extent of compliance to the solicitation instructions, and whether the proposal meets any of the conditions listed in M.2, Rejection of Offerors.

M.3.2 Evaluation Process. This will be a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in accordance with (IAW)

FAR 15.101-2, which will follow the following process:

M.3.2.1. Unless otherwise rejected, each proposals Price volume will first be reviewed to determine a Total Evaluated Price.

M.3.2.2. The Government will then conduct an evaluation of the Technical Factor proposal on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis on the two offerors with the lowest Technical Evaluated Prices. If the two lowest total evaluated priced proposals are determined to be

Unacceptable or they are otherwise ineligible for award, then the Government will conduct a technical evaluation on the next lowest total evaluated priced offerors proposal. Unless the Government determines it is in its best interests to conduct discussions, the

Government will follow this process until the two lowest total evaluated price, technically acceptable proposals are identified.

M.3.2.3. The Government will then conduct an assessment of price reasonableness and unbalanced pricing of the two lowest priced, technically acceptable offerors.

M.3.2.4. The Government reserves the right to conduct additional technical and/or price evaluations on other proposal(s) received in response to this solicitation in order to determine price reasonableness of the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.

M.3.2.5. Pursuant to 52.212-1, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time, which would be conducted with all offerors determined to be in the competitive range established in accordance with FAR 15.306(c).

M.3.2.6. Award will be made to the proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price which was also rated Acceptable under the Technical

Factor, and is otherwise eligible for award.

M.3.3. Pursuant to 52.212-1, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time.

M.3.4. Awards will be made in accordance to Sections M.1.1.2. and M.1.1.2.1.

M.3.5. Determination of Responsibility

Per FAR 9.103, a contract will be placed only with an offeror that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible. Prospective offeror(s), in order to eligible for award for this acquisition, must be able to demonstrate that it meets standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. In addition, the Government may assess the offerors financial ability to meet the solicitation requirements. The

Government reserves the right to conduct a Pre-award Survey on any or all offerors (or its subcontractors) to aid the Contracting

Officer in the evaluation of each offerors proposal and ensure that a selected offeror is responsible. No award can be made to an offeror who has been determined not responsible by the Contracting Officer. To ensure that the offeror meets the responsibility criteria of FAR 9.101, the Government may:

a. Arrange a visit to your facility and perform a necessary Pre-Award Survey. The offeror's refusal to authorize the Government to visit the offerors facility will result in a determination that the offeror is not responsible.

And/or

b. Request an offeror provide financial, technical, production, or managerial background information. If the requested information is not submitted within seven calendar days from the date of the receipt of the request, or if an offeror refuses the Government access to its facility, the Government may determine the offeror non-responsible. If the Government visits the offeror's facility, please ensure that current data relevant to the proposal is available for Government personnel to review.

M.3.6. Technical Factor.

M.3.6.1. The Technical Factor will be evaluated on a Technically Acceptable or Technically Unacceptable basis set forth in the

Evaluation process set forth in M.3.2. This assessment will be performed using the completed Technical information Questionnaire

(TIQ)(Attachment 0002) in accordance with Section L.4.1.1., and the substantiating documentation submitted in support of answers on the

TIQ in accordance with Section L.4.1.2. An Acceptable proposal is a proposal that demonstrates that the proposed product meets each requirement in the TIQ, by clearly indicating the proposed solution meets requirements to each question in addition to providing thorough, clear, and complete substantiating documentation for each TIQ question which the Government evaluates and determines to meet the requirements of the solicitation. The burden of providing thorough, clear, and complete information rests with the offeror.

Unsubstantiated claims may result in an Unacceptable rating which will make the offeror ineligible for award. In order to be considered for award, the offerors proposal must be determined Acceptable for 100 percent of the requirements in Attachment 0002, TIQ. Any offerors proposal assessed as Unacceptable for any requirement in the TIQ will be ineligible for award.

M.3.6.2. Exceeding Technical Requirements. The offeror will not be awarded extra credit for exceeding the technical requirements

outlined in the technical specification and Section L.4.1.1. of the solicitation.

M.3.7. Price Factor

The Price Factor will be evaluated in accordance with the Evaluation process set forth in M.3.2. The Price Factor evaluation will consist of the following:

M.3.7.1. Total Evaluated Price: The Price Factor evaluation will result in a determination of the Total Evaluated Price. The Total

Evaluated Price for multiple award IDIQ will equal the proposed price of CLIN 0010AA, as calculated in Attachment 0001 rev1.

M.3.7.1.1. Total Evaluated Price if only one eligible offeror for single award IDIQ: The Price Factor evaluation will result in a determination of the Total Evaluated Price equal to the sum of the proposed prices for all CLINs, as calculated in Attachment 0001 rev1.

M.3.7.2. Weighted Average Unit Price: For each CLIN with range pricing, the Government will calculate a weighted average unit price by first multiplying the unit prices proposed for each quantity range by the weighting percentages as stated in Attachment 0001 rev1.

Weighted average unit prices will be the summation of the proposed unit prices for each range multiplied by the weighting percentages.

The proposed price of each such CLIN will then be based on multiplying the weighted average unit price by the CLIN quantities as stated in Attachment 0001 rev1.

M.3.7.3. Price Reasonableness: A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may make a determination of price reasonableness by any means allowable under FAR 15.404-1.

M.3.7.4 Unbalanced Pricing: Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or ranges is significantly over- or understated as indicated by the application of cost and price analysis techniques. Offerors are cautioned that a proposal the Government assesses to be unbalanced as to price, may either be rejected or determined unacceptable for award. See FAR 15.404-1(g) for more information on unbalanced pricing.
