EVALUATION CRITERIA

M.1. General: This is a lowest price technically acceptable source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-2. Award will be made to a single Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in the solicitation, represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer.

W9124G25QA0010002

M.2. Compliance: The Government intends to award to the Offeror whose proposal, conforming to the Request for Proposal (RFP), provides the overall best benefit to the Government and found to be technically acceptable and offering the lowest price to the Government.

M.3. Trade-Offs: Trade-off between cost/price and non-cost/price factors is not permitted. Inaccurate or Incomplete price proposals may be the grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.

M.4. Discussions: Offers received for less than the stated number of items listed in the Pricing Schedule will be considered ineligible for award. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions with Offerors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines discussions to be necessary.

M.5. Evaluation Factors and Criteria.

All Evaluation Factors, except for Price must be rated "Acceptable" by the Government in order for a quote to be considered for award.

M.5.1. Factor 1: Technical Approach.

The purpose of the Technical Approach Evaluation Factor is to assess the Offeror's proposed approach, as detailed in its quote, to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements.

TABLE 1. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY RATINGS:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

RATING DESCRIPTION

ACCEPTABLE Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

M.5.2. Factor 2: Price.

The purpose of the price factor is to determine if the proposed price is fair and reasonable. In no event will the Government make an award against an offer that the Government does not find to be fair and reasonably priced. The price submission will be evaluated but not rated.

The techniques and procedures described under FAR Part 15.404 will be the primary means of assessing price reasonableness. To be viable for award, an Offeror's price must be determined fair and reasonable.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's price proposal for reasonableness based on the following:

a. Reasonableness will be determined by comparing the Offeror's total price proposed to the total price proposed by the other Offerors, comparing the Offerors total price proposed to the Independent Government Estimate, and comparing the Offeror's total price proposed to recently awarded contracts of similar nature. Additionally, the government may utilize other techniques identified in FAR 15.404-1(b)

(2) to determine the reasonableness of price.

b. The Offeror's price submission shall represent the Offeror's best efforts to respond to the RFP. Any inconsistency between proposed performance and price shall be explained in the submission. For example, if unique, innovative approaches are the basis for an unusually low price, the nature of these approaches and their impact on price shall be explained. If an Offeror proposes to absorb a portion of the price, the Offeror shall also explain the impact on the estimated price. Any significant inconsistency left unexplained, may raise a fundamental question of the Offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of the work required in the task order, and of the Offeror's ability to perform the tasks within the fiscal constraints thereof. This may be just cause for rejection of the proposal. The burden of proof for price credibility rests with the Offeror.

L.5.1. VOLUME I -PRICE PROPOSAL.

(a) The Price Volume shall include proposed unit and extended prices for each Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) and SUBCLIN in the SF 1449 Continuation Sheet. Provide pricing on Attachment 3- Pricing Schedule.

(b) Price Reasonableness. The source selection will be conducted with the expectation of adequate price competition for this acquisition per FAR 15.403-1(c)(1); therefore, certified cost or pricing data are not required per FAR 15.403-1(b)(1). If at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists or that price reasonableness cannot be determined, Offerors may be required to submit additional data other than certified cost or pricing data for the Contracting Officer to determine price reasonableness. A contract will not be awarded to a contractor whose price is not determined to be fair and reasonable.

L.7. Contract Award: The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussion with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

L.8. Discrepancies: If an Offeror believes these instructions contain errors, omissions or are unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as remedies the Offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the omission or error.
