Evaluation Factors for Award FAR 52.212-2 Addendum, Evaluation Methodology B-1 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This requirement will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation is determined to represent the best selection for the Government based on meeting price and technical acceptability. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. The offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and technical evaluation. An "unacceptable" rating in any factor will result in the overall technical quote being rated "unacceptable" and the quote will therefore be ineligible for award. The Government may at its discretion also utilize information available from Government Past Performance collection systems to compare offerors and use this information as a discriminator when identifying the offer that represents the best selection. Quotes will be evaluated using FAR 13.106-2 procedures which permit comparative evaluation of offers. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process is by its nature subjective. Therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

The following documents will be evaluated for completeness and compliance with the requirements of the RFQ. Please refer to the instructions in 52.212-1 Addendum. Incomplete items may be a basis for rejection:

2. Part II, Technical The quote shall consist of a detailed breakdown showing how all of the performance requirements listed in Section 3 of the Purchase Description titled “PD CNC Automatic Vertical Engine Block Honing Machine with Hole-to-Hole Automation Rottler H85AX or Equal” of this Combined Synopsis Solicitation, will be met.

B-2 PRICE EVALUATION. Quotes will be ranked from lowest to highest Total Evaluated Price (TEP). An offeror's Total Evaluated Price will be determined by totaling the Amount for all CLINs. Offerors shall enter the TEP on Page 2 of this Combined Synopsis Solicitation document. The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the value listed as the TEP is the total of all CLINS provided in the solicitation. (Note: To prevent rounding discrepancies, please ensure unit prices used for calculation are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. It is the responsibility of each contractor to verify his or her calculations.

B-3 TECHNICAL EVALUATION.

The Government's technical evaluation shall evaluate the technical quotes on a pass/fail basis, assigning a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. An offer must be rated "acceptable" in order to be eligible for award. An "unacceptable" rating will result in the overall technical quote being rated "unacceptable" and the quote will therefore be ineligible for award. The Government will utilize the information provided by the offeror, along with information collected from other sources (i.e., other Government offices, commercial sources, etc.), in making a technical acceptability determination. If an Offeror's technical quote is determined to be Technically Unacceptable, no further evaluation will be conducted. Offerors determined to be technically unacceptable shall be eliminated from consideration for contract award.

Offers must be determined technically acceptable in the following areas to be eligible for award:

1. Offered capability meets the requirements in accordance with the Purchase Description titled “PD CNC Automatic Vertical Engine Block Honing Machine with Hole-to-Hole Automation Rottler H85AX or Equal” of this Combined Synopsis Solicitation.
