Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

If the offeror does NOT propose an alternative schedule for CLINS 0001AA, 0001AB and 0002AA within Section F, FAR 52.211-8, Time of

Delivery, then the offeror's proposed delivery date(s) is the same as the Government Solicited Delivery Schedule set forth in FAR 52.211-

8.

L.3.1.1.1 In order to be considered for award, a proposal must provide a delivery date expressed in terms of 'after date of delivery order award' that is either 1) sooner than the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in FAR 52.211-8, Time of Delivery;

or 2) equal to the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in FAR 52.211-8, Time of Delivery; or 3) within 45 days after delivery order award or less than the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in FAR 52.211-8.

L.3.1.1.2 Proposals that provide a delivery schedule that is later than 45 days after the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in FAR 52.211-8, Time of Delivery will constitute a failure to meet a stated requirement of the solicitation (deficiency) and be unawardable.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY AND ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD

M.1.1 The Government will only award a contract to an offeror that meets all the responsibility criteria at FAR 9.104.

M.1.2 To make sure that an offeror meets the responsibility criteria at FAR 9.104 the Government may:

M.1.2.1 arrange a visit to the offerors plant and perform a preaward survey;

6 10

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

M.1.2.2 ask the offeror to provide financial, technical, production, or managerial background information.

M.1.3 If the offeror does not provide the Government with the data requested within 7 days from the date the requested is received, or if the offeror refuses to have an onsite visit to the offeror's facility, the Government may determine the offeror to be nonresponsible.

M.1.4 If the Government visits the offerors facility, the offeror shall ensure that current certified financial statements and other data relevant to the bid or proposal are available for Government personnel to review.

M.1.5 The Offeror must have demonstrated receiving access to the latest, most up to date TDP by the solicitation closing date (as specified on the SF33) by providing a copy of Sheet 2 of 10 from Drawing Number 12993884_19200_K_001_001 in the administrative volume of their proposal. See L.2.2.1.7.

M.2 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST REQUIREMENT

M.2.1 If the offeror submits a request for waiver of First Article Approval but fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph L.6 entitled PROVISION FOR WAIVER, the requested waiver may not be granted. If the waiver is not granted, more favorable alternative offers of price or delivery, conditioned upon the granting of a waiver, will not be considered in the evaluation process.

M.2.2 FAT WAIVER AND THE PRICE FACTOR

M.2.2.1 As specified in this solicitation; the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement entitled FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL

(FAR 52.209-3) and subtract the price of the proposed First Article Test (at Section B, CLIN 0002AA) from the proposal of offerors who elect to seek and are granted such a waiver. If the offeror requests and receives a waiver of First Article Approval requirements, the price for such testing, as identified by the offeror in Section B, CLIN 0002AA, shall be deducted from the total price otherwise cited for the materiel herein solicited. The offer will then be evaluated for award at the resulting alternate price.

M.2.2.2 If the offeror requests a waiver of First Article Approval requirements but fails to separately identify the cost of First

Article Testing in Section B, CLIN 0002AA of this solicitation, the Government will still require that offeror perform First Article

Approval requirements if the First Article requirement is NOT waived at no additional cost to the Government.

M.2.2.3 If the offeror requests but is not granted a waiver of First Article Approval, the evaluated price will include the full amount entered for CLIN 0002AA, which will not be deducted by the Government.

M.3 Basis of Award

M.3.1 The solicitation is a total small business set-aside. The Government plans to award a one time buy with 100% option, firm-fixed price (FFP) type contract for the Screw, Timing Lock, NSN: 5305-01-533-5173, because of this solicitation. An award will be made to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government in accordance with the criteria set forth below and is eligible for award.

M.3.1.1 There are two evaluation factors:

a. Delivery

b. Price

The relative order of importance of these factors are described in M.6 below.

M.3.1.2 Proposal selection will be made utilizing the source selection trade-off process, considering the evaluation Factors and their relative order of importance (see Section M.6), to identify the proposal which represents the best value and is most advantageous to the

Government. The Government will weigh the evaluation factors (other than the Price Factor) against the total evaluated price to the

Government when selecting the offer that is most advantageous and represents the best overall value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to choose not to award a contract if such action is in the Government's best interest.

M.3.1.3 In making the award decision, the Government will review proposals to determine if any price adjustments are required IAW the

FAR, DFARS, or clauses or provisions contained within this solicitation. If an additional price adjustment is determined to be applicable, then the Government will develop a final price for those offerors impacted by the adjustment(s) and base the final award decision on this final price. When FAR 52.219-4 is included in the RFP and a HUBZone price adjustment is applicable, then all other price adjustments described in the solicitation shall be applied before the application of the HUBZone price adjustment.

M.3.1.4 Importance of Price. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government and is otherwise eligible for award. This may not be the offeror with the lowest evaluated price. However, the closer offeror's evaluations are to each other in those Factors other than the Price Factor, the more important price becomes in the decision. Notwithstanding the relative order of importance of the evaluation Factors stated herein, price may be controlling when:

a. Proposals are otherwise considered approximately equal in non-price factors; or

7 10

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

b. An otherwise superior proposal is unaffordable; or

c. The advantages of a higher rated, higher priced proposal are not considered to be worth the price premium.

M.4 Rejection of Offers

M.4.1 The Government may reject any proposal if doing so is in the Government's best interest at any time after receipt of proposal.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following proposal conditions:

M.4.1.1 The proposal fails to meaningfully respond to the instructions in Section L of this solicitation (e.g., a proposal provides some data but omits significant material data and information required by Section L, the proposal fails to follow key proposal instructions or format requirements in Section L, etc.).

M.4.1.2 A proposal merely offers to perform work according to the solicitation terms or fails to present more than a statement indicating its capability to comply with the solicitation terms and does not provide support and elaboration as specified in Section L of this solicitation.

M.4.1.3 The proposal proposes exceptions to the RFP requirements, attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or solicitation terms and conditions.

M.4.1.4 The proposal is unbalanced as to price. See Section M.6.2.3.

M.4.1.5 The proposal submitted is for less than all the requirements called for by the solicitation.

M.4.1.6 The proposal's acceptance period does not meet the Government's required minimum acceptance period, or the offeror fails to provide a proposal acceptance period (Refer to Section L.1.2).

M.4.1.7 The proposal is not in English (American Standard) or in US Dollars.

M.4.1.8 The proposed delivery schedule(s) is later than 45 days after the solicited schedule (Refer to Section L.3.1.1.2).

M.4.1.9 The offeror is not a self-certified U.S. small business concern to the size standard for the North American Industry

Classification System (NAICS) code identified in this solicitation in SAM.

M.5 Source Selection Process

M.5.1 Compliance Review. After receipt of proposals, but prior to the evaluation process, the Government will perform a compliance review of the offeror's proposal to determine the extent of compliance to the solicitation instructions.

M.5.2 Evaluation Process. Selection of the successful offeror will be made following an assessment of each proposal not otherwise rejected, based on the response to the information called for in Section L of this RFP, and against the solicitation requirements and the evaluation criteria described herein.Proposals not otherwise rejected will be evaluated as specified herein, to include developing narrative support for the evaluation conclusions under each Factor.

M.5.3 Award without Discussions. This RFP includes FAR Provision 52.215-1 Instructions to Offerors Competitive Acquisition in Section L which advises offerors that the Government intends to make award without conducting discussions. Where awards will be made without discussions, exchanges with offerors are limited to Clarifications as defined in FAR 15.306(a). Therefore, the offerors initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a Price and non-Price Factor standpoint. However, under FAR 52.215-1(f)(4), the Government reserves the right to hold discussions, if necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

M.6 Evaluation Criteria

There are two evaluation factors:

a. Delivery Schedule

b. Price

The relative order of importance of these two factors is as follows: The Price Factor is significantly more important than the Delivery

Schedule Factor.

M.6.1 Delivery Schedule Factor

The evaluation for the delivery schedule factor will be done at the CLIN level, and each evaluated CLIN will be a Delivery Schedule

Subfactor.All Subfactors are weighted approximately equal.The following CLINs will be evaluated:

8 10

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

0001AA

0001AB

0002AA

M.6.1.1 The following applies to all Delivery Schedule Subfactors, unless otherwise noted:

For purposes of this evaluation and the adjectival rating definitions below, the delivery schedule is expressed as the number of days after date of delivery order award that deliveries are due to begin as stated in clause FAR 52.211-8. The stated delivery rate, expressed as the required quantity to be delivered every 30 calendar days in FAR 52.211-8, is not part of the Delivery Schedule evaluation, as offerors are not allowed to propose alternate delivery rates in response to this RFP.

M.6.1.2 The Government will evaluate proposed delivery schedule based on the number of days after date of delivery order award.

M.6.1.3 Delivery Schedule Subfactor Adjective Ratings & Descriptions:

OUTSTANDING - Proposal provides a delivery schedule that is sooner than the solicited schedule with FAT for the respective CLIN in FAR

52.211-8.

ACCEPTABLE - Proposal provides a delivery schedule that is equal to the solicited schedule with FAT for the respective CLIN in FAR

52.211-8.

MARGINAL - Proposal provides a delivery schedule that is later than the solicited schedule with FAT for the respective CLIN in FAR

52.211-8 by 45 days or less.

UNACCEPTABLE - Proposal provides a delivery schedule that is later than the solicited schedule with FAT for the respective CLIN by more than 45 days. Proposal is un-awardable.

M.6.2 Price Factor

M.6.2.1 The Price Factor evaluation will result in a determination of the Total Evaluated Price to the Government. The Government will also evaluate the offeror's price proposal for price reasonableness and unbalanced pricing. The following information will be used to determine the total evaluated price of the offer:

M.6.2.1.1 The unit price for each separately priced CLIN, will be multiplied by the estimated quantity for the corresponding CLIN and the results added together to produce the overall price; plus

M.6.2.1.2 Any downward adjustment(s) based on USG approval of FAT waiver(s) in accordance with Section M.2.3).

M.6.2.2 Price Reasonableness: The Government will evaluate whether the offeror's proposed price is reasonable. 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.

The Government may decide of price reasonableness by any means allowable under FAR 15.404-1.

M.6.2.3 Unbalanced Pricing: The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposal for unbalanced pricing. 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 cost and price analysis techniques. Offerors are cautioned that a proposal the Government assesses to be unbalanced as to price, may either be rejected or determined unacceptable for award. See FAR 15.404-1(g) for more information on unbalanced pricing.

M.7 EVALUATION OF INCOMPLETE OPTION PRICING

(a) Per FAR 17.203(d), offerors may price the option CLIN in this solicitation incrementally, by entering different option unit prices that will apply to different subquantities or quantity ranges (in the event that the Government elects to exercise less than 100% of the option). Notwithstanding this fact, the provision entitled EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5, located elsewhere in this Section M) indicates that the Government's evaluation for contract award will include each offeror's price for 100% of the option quantity.

(b) In light of the above, if an offeror specifies unit prices that apply to one or more option quantity ranges, but does not specify a unit price for 100% of the option, we will evaluate that offer for award as follows. The option price for such offer shall be deemed to be the higher of the unit price that applies to the basic (non-option) quantity, or the highest unit price that is identified against any range or subquantity of the option CLIN.
