Subject to the provisions contained herein, the Government intends to award a single contract resulting from the Solicitation, to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose offer conforms to the Solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, and all other information required by the Solicitation), and provides the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer to satisfy the requirements of this Solicitation and the PWS. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

4. Evaluation criteria consist of two (2) evaluation factors. The offers shall be evaluated under the following evaluation factors:

a. Factor 1: Mission Capability

b. Factor 2: Price

5. Evaluation Factors. The Government’s technical evaluation team shall evaluate offers to determine either technically acceptable or technically unacceptable (price excluded). In order to be considered technically acceptable, the offer for Factor 1 must be determined acceptable and must demonstrate an understanding of the requirements for all task areas described in the PWS. The offer must demonstrate a practical/functional technical approach that meets the needs of the Solicitation. Failure to meet the criteria shall render the offer to be technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award.

a. Factor 1: Mission Capability: To be deemed technically acceptable, the Offeror’s Mission Capability must demonstrate:

i. Staffing Plan. Offeror shall provide a staffing plan depicting the minimum personnel required to satisfy the PWS requirements. The offeror’s staffing plan shall provide the labor categories, number of personnel proposed for each labor category, the associated labor hours deemed necessary to perform the requirement as well as the qualifications, experience, and educational requirements for all labor categories considered necessary for the successful performance of all tasks required in the PWS. If cross-utilization is proposed, the Offeror must clearly identify how all task areas of the PWS will be met and establish the feasibility of the approach. Address the knowledge, skills, security clearances, training, and education levels for each labor category to the minimum standards required to meet PWS performance requirements.

ii. Organizational Structure. The organizational line and block chart shall demonstrate a feasible structure to successfully manage the PWS requirements. An effective organizational structure shall demonstrate whether the Offeror has all the necessary personnel qualifications, processes and plans in effect to ensure contract performance in accordance with the requirements of the PWS. Personnel qualifications and minimum requirements for job standards must adequately support the requirements of the PWS.

The offer must clearly demonstrate that all requirements of the PWS are met through identifying what parts of the organization are responsible for managing and accomplishing what work (identify each organizational element, i.e., Division/Branch/Team) and clearly and rationally identify how the Offeror will successfully manage multiple tasks.

iii. Phase-In and Phase-Out Plan. A realistic and effective phase-in approach that demonstrates how the Offeror will be fully staffed and operational within thirty (30) days after award and how they plan to transition out during the last thirty (30) days of Contract performance.

iv. Retention Plan. Offeror needs to clearly identify procedures that will be used to establish and retain a workforce sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the PWS. Provide a practical retention plan that describes how the responder will accommodate fluctuating workloads, minimize turnover, and ensure all PWS requirements are still performed in case of contractor employee absences (i.e. due employee leave, illnesses or other circumstances).

b. Factor 2: Price.

i. Pricing Schedule & Pricing Narrative. The Offeror shall insert a proposed unit price, and extended prices for the each required CLIN in the Pricing Schedule. Offeror's offer shall include complete and accurate pricing on all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) identified in the Pricing Schedule.

For each CLIN, the Offeror shall indicate the CLIN unit price and the resulting CLIN amount. All pricing shall be in whole numbers. The Offeror shall ensure all prices used in development of the offer are rounded to two decimal places (example: $0.27, not $0.27458). If submitted, all formulas, lookup tables, and links should be intact, and no links should exist to files not included with the offer. Spreadsheets shall not contain hidden worksheets. For the purpose of price evaluation, the Offeror shall include a Pricing Matrix in the contractor’s own format that details the calculation of its proposed monthly fixed prices for each priced CLIN. The Offeror shall submit fully loaded labor rates for each proposed labor category in terms of staffing proposed for the PWS (to include applicable service areas, department of Labor (DOL) Labor Code (i.e.151131 or 151141), exempt or non-exempt status, rate determination methodology, productive work year, and number of Full Time Equivalents (FTEs). A justification for these labor categories shall also be provided to facilitate a technical cross-walk. The pricing Matrix shall be prepared using MS Excel 2013 or earlier; the narrative shall be prepared using MS Word 2013 or earlier.

ii. Options. The Government shall evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the Offeror’s final option period price to the Offeror’s total price. Thus, the Offeror’s total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the Base Period, 1st Option Period, 2nd Option Period, and 1/2 of the 2nd Option Period. Offerors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

6. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise shall be furnished to the successful offeror. This notice shall be furnished within the time for acceptance specified in the offer and shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
