TECHNICAL EVALUATION PLAN

CNC Crankshaft Grinder

1. A technical evaluation will be performed on all proposals for the computer numerical controlled (CNC) Crankshaft Grinder. The technical evaluation will consist of two parts: an “acceptable/not acceptable” evaluation of compliance with the statement of work (Part I) and a trade-off evaluation to obtain the best value to the Government (Part II). Only those proposals rated acceptable in Part I will be eligible for award and considered in Part II of the evaluation. The Part I and Part II evaluations may be conducted concurrently.

1.2 The technical requirements portion of the offer should discuss the offeror’s proposed solution to meet the requirements of the statement of work (SOW), including any technical and system performance literature, specification sheets, certifications, available test or performance data, narrative descriptions, historical information, analytical support, design documentation, or other such data as required to clearly support conformance of the proposed system solution to the requirements of the statement of work (SOW). BIDS THAT ONLY RESPOND IN THE AFFIRMATIVE WITH NO EXPLANATION OF HOW THE SOW REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET WILL BE CONSIDERED NON-RESPONSIVE.

The Part 1 evaluation is a comparison of the proposed CNC Crankshaft Grinder against the scope of work/specification to assess compliance (i.e. meets or does not meet the requirement). Characteristics of the offeror’s CNC Crankshaft Grinder that exceed the requirements will NOT be given extra credit. However, to the extent that the CNC Crankshaft Grinder’s capability exceeds a requirement, the Government may assess the risk of meeting the requirement lower and therefore to the offeror’s advantage.

A. With the offer, the offeror shall furnish technical literature that has been used to market the proposed equipment and/or service. The technical literature will be used to technically evaluate the offers and shall show that the proposed equipment meets the minimum requirements of the specification, specifically the technical features shown below:

DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT:

Paragraph 3.1 General Requirements Paragraph 3.1.1 Machine Capacity Paragraph 3.1.2 Wheel Head Paragraph 3.1.3 Table Paragraph 3.1.4 Work Head Paragraph 3.1.5 Foot Stock Paragraph 3.1.6 Dresser Paragraph 3.1.7 Motors Paragraph 3.1.8 Wheel Hub Mount Paragraph 3.1.9 Fluid Capacity Paragraph 3.1.10 Power requirement Paragraph 3.1.11 Coolant System Paragraph 3.1.12 Mist Collection Paragraph 3.1.13 Machine Control Paragraph 3.1.14 Jib Crane Paragraph 3.1.15 Wheel Load Assist Paragraph 3.1.16 Gap Sensor Paragraph 3.1.17 Compressed Air Dryer

B. The features required above to be shown in the technical literature are necessary to determine the offeror's technical compliance. If the offeror's preprinted literature does not show all these features, the offeror may attach a letter or supplemental information to the literature describing those required features. All literature and supplemental information shall be in the US Customary System of Measurements and in the English language.

C. Any proposal that is unrealistic in terms of schedule commitments or price will be judged either as exhibiting a lack of competence or as a failure to comprehend the Government’s requirements and may be so evaluated and rated, or rejected for such reasons. Furthermore, any significant inconsistency between proposed performance and price, if unexplained, may be grounds for rejection of the proposal due to the offeror’s misunderstanding of the work or an inability to perform any resultant contract.

The Government may also reject any proposal which merely offers to perform the work without elaboration or fails to submit more than just a statement indicating its capability to comply with the requirements for a CNC Crankshaft Grinder.

2. Past Performance. The government will conduct a performance risk evaluation based upon the past performance of offerors and proposed major subcontractors as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the solicitation requirements for a CNC Crankshaft Grinder.

1. A description of your contract or subcontract (government or commercial). Government contracts are defined as those with the Federal government and agencies of state and local governments.

1. Name of contracting activity/commercial firm.

1. Contract Number.

1. Contract type (fixed price or cost reimbursable).

1. Total contract value.

1. Description of work/NSN, Part Number, Nomenclature.

1. Contracting officer/contract manager, telephone number, and email address.

1. Administrative contracting officer, if different from g. above, telephone number, and email address.

1. A brief summary of work performed under each contract cited.

1. Explanation of why contract or subcontract is considered relevant to proposed acquisition. If only a portion of cited contract is relevant, include in your explanation.

1. Information on problems encountered on the contract and actions taken to correct problems identified.

2.4. If offeror proposes use of major subcontractor(s) in performance of resultant contract, provide a description of the work to be performed (supplies or services) by each major subcontractor and the information specified above for each subcontractor identified as relevant to the work to be performed by the subcontractor. A significant or major subcontractor is that subcontractor expected to provide over 20 percent of the work effort or critical hardware, software, or services.

3. A best value “trade-off” evaluation will be performed to determine which proposal is considered to be the most beneficial to the Government (i.e., best value), with appropriate consideration given to three (3) evaluation factors: Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. The factors are listed in decreasing order of importance with Technical Capability being slightly more important than Past Performance, Past Performance being slightly more important than Price. The two non-price factors, when combined, are more important than the Price factor.

4. Under Part II of the evaluation, the Government will weigh the evaluated proposal of the non-price factors in Part II against the evaluated price to select the offer that represents the best overall value. As part of this tradeoff determination, the relative advantages, disadvantages, and risks of each proposal shall be considered.
