Evaluation Criteria - Supplies (Tradeoff)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price.

The Technical element of the evaluation will first be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and specifications in the solicitation. Those offers that meet or exceed the stated performance characteristics and specifications will then be evaluated in terms of technical aspects above the minimum requirements and of those aspects not addressed in the solicitation performance characteristics and specifications that would be most beneficial to the Government. In particular, the Government is willing to trade-off on price for offerors that exceed the following performance characteristics/specifications and/or delivery time:

1. The Contractor can provide documented specialized experience or examples of similar projects performed by the key personnel within the past three (3) years, specifically relevant to the application described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

2. Key personnel education and training is beyond a bachelor’s degree, and/or involving mechanical testing.

3. Key personnel has current or recent experience onsite at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD and can obtain an unescorted badge for APG Building 4603.

The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the product meets or exceeds the performance characteristics and specifications of the requirement. If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to conform to the requirement of this solicitation, the offeror shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications.

Past performance will be evaluated based on information provided by the offeror as to actual sales of the proposed product to industry or Government agencies. Past performance will consider the ability of the offeror to meet technical specifications, delivery schedules (with warranty fulfillment and maintenance reputation included as applicable). Offerors shall include two (2) records of sales from the previous 36 months. Offerors shall identify a point of contact for each sale by providing a name and telephone number.

Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price, including options, (if any).
