SECTION M

M.1 BASIS FOR AWARD

M.1.1 GENERAL The Government plans to award a firm fixed price type contract for abrasive cleaning as a result of this solicitation, W911KF-22-R-0278. The Government reserves the right to choose not to award a contract if such action is in the Government’s 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 a single contract. Award will be made using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process IAW FAR 15.101-2, which states award will be made on the basis of the lowest final evaluated priced proposal meeting the acceptability standards for non-cost factors, to an offeror that is eligible for award. The Government will follow the informal source selection process set forth in Section M.3 below.

M.1.1.3 Award without Discussions: This RFP includes FAR Provision 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors Competitive Acquisition in Section L which advises offerors that the Government intends to make award without conducting discussions. Where awards will be made without discussions, exchanges with offerors are limited to Clarifications as defined in FAR 15.306(a). Therefore, the offerors initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a Price and non-Price Factor standpoint. However, under FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government reserves the right to hold discussions, if necessary. If the PCO determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the PCO may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

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 be certified as a small business under NAICS 488490.

b. The offeror must be rated Acceptable under the Technical Factor; and

c. The offeror must be determined responsible (See Section M.3.5).

M.2 REJECTION OF OFFERS

M.2.1 The Government may reject any proposal if doing so is in the Government's best interest at any time after receipt of proposal. 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 respond to all items in Attachment 6 - Technical Information Questionnaire (TIQ); fails to provide the required substantiating evidence outlined in the TIQ, fails to submit pricing attachment 4 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 offeror’s 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.2.6 of this solicitation, "Organizational Conflict of Interest."; or

e. The proposal’s acceptance period does not meet the Government’s required minimum acceptance period (Refer to Section L.1.2)

M.3 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

M.3.1 Compliance Review. After receipt of proposals, but prior to the evaluation process, the Government will perform a compliance review of the offeror’s 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, proposals will be sorted from lowest evaluated price to the highest 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 offeror with the lowest total evaluated price. If the proposal with the lowest total evaluated price is determined to be Unacceptable or is otherwise ineligible for award, then the Government will conduct a technical evaluation on the offeror with the next lowest total evaluated price. Unless the Government determines it is in its best interests to conduct discussions, the Government will follow this process until the lowest total evaluated priced, technically acceptable proposal is identified.

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

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 total evaluated priced, technically acceptable offer, or if required to properly apply additional price adjustments that are required in accordance with the FAR, DFARS, or clauses or provisions contained within this solicitation.

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 After the initial apparent successful offeror is identified, the Government will review proposals to determine if any other price adjustments are required IAW the FAR, DFARS, or clauses or provisions contained within this solicitation. If an additional price adjustment is determined to be applicable, then the Government will develop a final price for those offerors impacted by the adjustment(s) and base the final award decision on this final evaluated price. IAW FAR 52.219-4(b)(2), if the HUBZone price adjustment is applicable, then all other price adjustments described in the solicitation shall be applied before the application of the HUBZone price adjustment.

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 offeror’s 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 offeror’s 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 complete any of the following:

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 may result in a determination that the offeror is not responsible.

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.

c. The Government may utilize Federal awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and System for Award Management (SAM) to determine responsibility.

M.4 EVALUATION CRITERIA

M.4.1 Technical Factor

M.4.1.1 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 6) 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 offeror's proposal must be determined Acceptable for 100 percent of the requirements in Attachment 6, TIQ. Any offeror's proposal assessed as Unacceptable for any requirement in the TIQ will be ineligible for award.

M.4.1.2 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. of the solicitation.

M.4.2 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.4.2.1 Total Evaluated Price: The Price Factor evaluation will result in a determination of the Total Evaluated Price. The Total Evaluated Price equals the sum of the proposed prices for all CLINs, as calculated in Attachment 4 – Various Parts List Pricing Workbook; and if applicable, any other price adjustments, for evaluation purposes only, that are required in accordance with the FAR, DFARS, or clauses or provisions contained within this solicitation.

M.4.2.2 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.4.2.3 Unbalanced Pricing: Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items 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.
