The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Factor 1: Mission Capability

Factor 2: Price

Basis for award - Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA):

a. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's quote strictly in accordance with this solicitation and will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the Offeror's submission. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award one (1) contract without exchanges; therefore, the offeror's initial quote should contain its best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Factor 2: Price

Factor 1: Mission Capability. The Technical Acceptability Factor evaluation will provide an assessment of the Offeror's capability to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements.

The Government will evaluate three (3) Technical Acceptability Sub Factors under the Mission Capability volume. The Offeror must be acceptable in all Technical Acceptability Sub Factors in order to be determined acceptable. The Government reserves the right to verify quote's compliance with the Factor 1 technical requirements through other sources, including but not limited to the Federal Aviation Administration and USTRANSCOM.

PWS Section 4.3.1, 4.3.2

(iii) the Offeror dThe Government will evaluate the quote to determine whether etailed descriptions, engineering schematics, or verifiable FAA-approved certification data sheets that demonstrate the proper installation and functionality of: (1) a linear anchor line cable ran the length of the aircraft cabin to safely support static-line airborne exits, and (2) a complete, fully operational, FAA-approved safety retrieval system designed to retrieve towed parachutists in accordance with PWS Section 5.1.7.

Technical Acceptability Subfactor 1b - Staffing Approach. The Government will evaluate the quote to determine whether the quote provided verifiable documentation demonstrating that all flight crew personnel met the following guidelines:

(i) All pilots hold active and valid FAA Commercial Pilot Licenses with Instrument Ratings and current FAA First-Class Medical Certificates.

(ii) The Government will evaluate the quote to determine whether the offeror demonstrated a crew management plan that complies with FAA Parts 91 and 135 pilot rest requirements, ensuring pilots are fully rested and physically/mentally capable of executing tactical jump missions.

(i) The Government will evaluate the quote to determine whether the Offeror provided verifiable proof that they are a DoD-approved commercial operator. Specifically, the Offeror provided documentation proving they appear on the current Air Mobility Command (AMC) Commercial Airlift Review Board (CARB) "Paratroop Commercial Operator Listing" (or submit a current, passing DoD inspection report in accordance with DoD Instruction 4500.53), alongside an active FAA Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate (or approved FAA Part 91 operator status with USSOCOM J-31 approval).

Offeror included evidence of a tracking system utilizing a Time Control Document (TCD), a list of Required Inspection Items (RII), and a current FAA-approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL) for both proposed aircraft types. PWS Section 4.3.3, 4.3.6

(iii) The Government will evaluate the quote to determine whether the Offeror provided a detailed maintenance support plan demonstrating immediate access to certified maintenance facilities, tooling, and spare parts logistics. This plan must prove the contractor possesses the operational capability to repair, return to service, or replace an aircraft within twenty-four (24) hours of any unscheduled maintenance grounding or mechanical failure during a scheduled exercise. PWS Section 4.3.6

Mission Capability Rating Scheme. The Mission Capability Factor and Technical Acceptability Standards will each receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below. The Technical Acceptability Standard ratings will be used to determine an overall rating for the Mission Capability factor. Factor 1 and all its Subfactors will be rated using the Acceptable /Unacceptable rating method reflected in Table A-1, below. A Quote must be rated 'Acceptable' in all subfactors in order to be rated 'Acceptable' in Factor 1.

Table A-1. Mission Capability Ratings Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

FACTOR 2: Price

(1) Price will not be scored or rated. The Government will evaluate the quote's pricing to determine if the Offeror's proposed pricing is fair and reasonable, complete, balanced, and accurate using the price analysis techniques of RFO FAR 15.404-1. The Government will use this pricing and the quote's total evaluated price to determine if it is fair and reasonable.

As part of the price evaluation, the Government will also evaluate its option to extend services (see RFO FAR Clause 52.217-8) by continuing the proposed rate established under the final year of the ordering period determined at the time of award. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(3) All proposed prices should be complete and accurate. Electronic versions of the price quote shall be submitted in MS Office Excel format ONLY, as an unprotected/unlocked copy. If the pricing quote requires a narrative, it shall be submitted in PDF or Word format. It is the Responders responsibility to ensure that all formulas and calculations are correct.

The IDIQ will have a five-year ordering period all on CLIN 0001

Completeness/Accuracy: The Offeror's quote is in compliance with the Price Volume instructions in the RFQ.

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.

Unbalanced: 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
