BASIS OF AWARD
Award will be made to the responsible offeror(s) submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) offer(s) that satisfies all terms and conditions of this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: If any of factor is rated as unacceptable, the overall factor rating is unacceptable and the entire proposal is unacceptable.
Factor A: Technical The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposal against Government’s requirements as specified on the solicitation to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable using the ratings and descriptions outlined in table below.
Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation
Factor B: Past Performance The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the solicitation requirements.
This factor will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in below table. Past Performance will be evaluated based upon offeror’s client’s satisfaction on same or similar projects within the last 3 years. In determining the acceptability, each offeror shall be required to submit Past Performance Information within the last three (3) years in accordance with responses received to the Proposal Instruction (Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to the offeror(s)). The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance from any reasonable source available, including Government databases in order to evaluate past performance.
Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description 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 without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, 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. “Unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”
Factor C: Price
The proposal should include the cost breakdown of each items specified in the salient characteristics. Price analysis will be performed to determine the extent, to which it is adequate, reasonable, realistic and complete the requirement described in the solicitation IAW FAR 15.404-1, Price Analysis. Proposals, which are unreasonably high or low in price, may be rejected when it deemed to be reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of a failure to comprehend the solicitation requirements. The cost breakdown will be used to to determine if the proposed price is adequate, reasonable, realistic and complete the requiremnt.

(ii) Has an estimated value that exceeds $500,000.
(2) The Contractor shall maintain a compliance plan during the performance of the contract that is appropriate—
(i) To the size and complexity of the contract; and

(3) Minimum requirements. The compliance plan must include, at a minimum, the following:
(i) An awareness program to inform contractor employees about the Government's policy prohibiting trafficking-related activities described in paragraph (b) of this clause, the activities prohibited, and the actions that will be taken against the employee for violations.
