7.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to select the offeror providing the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal meeting or exceeding the acceptability standard for non-price factor. The selection will be based on evaluation of the following evaluation factors: Corporate Experience, Past Performance, and Price.

Each of the two Non-Price factors will receive one of the following ratings: Acceptable or Unacceptable.

Offerors receiving one technically “unacceptable” rating will be deemed overall technically “unacceptable” and will not be considered for award. Offerors must receive an “acceptable” rating on both technical factors to be considered for award.

The Government reserves the right to enter into discussions. In the event that discussions are not necessary then we intend to award without discussions, to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) proposal.

Use of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process:

In accordance with the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), it shall be the policy of the Department of Defense to avoid using lowest price technically acceptable source selection criteria in circumstances that would deny the Department the benefits of cost and technical tradeoffs in the source selection process. USACE-NWK has examined the requirement for only using the LPTA process in situations that meet the following:

a. USACE-NWK is able to comprehensively and clearly describe the minimum requirements to determine acceptability of offers.

b. USACE-NWK will realize no, or minimal value from a proposal exceeding the minimum technical requirements set forth in the request for proposal.

c. The proposed technical factors will require no, or minimal, subjective judgment by the source selection authority as to the desirability of one offeror’s proposal versus a competing proposal.

d. The source selection authority has a high degree of confidence that a review of technical proposals other than the lowest offeror would not result in the identification of factors that could provide value or benefit to

USACE-NWK.

e. The contracting officer has included a justification for the use of LPTA in the contract file.

f. USACE-NWK has determined that the lowest price reflect full life-cycle costs per the minimum requirements outlined in the specifications and plans.

8.0 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

All offers received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated in accordance with informal source selection procedures. The principal objective of this process is to select a responsible offeror who submits the offer that is the Best Value to the Government using the LPTA process. The process is designed to ensure the impartial, equitable, and comprehensive evaluation of all technically acceptable, responsible proposals received in response to this particular solicitation.

Source Selection Team

The Source Selection Team is established as a separate organization and management chain of command whose only purpose is to accomplish the objective above. The organization consists of a Source Selection Authority (SSA) and a Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The organization is designed to ensure active ongoing involvement of appropriate contracting, technical, logistics, legal, price analysis, small business, and other functional staff management expertise.

Source Selection Procedure

The source selection procedures will begin with an initial review of proposals received in response to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and continue with a technical and price evaluation conducted by the SSEB. The SSEB shall evaluate the proposals based solely on the evaluation criteria identified below. The results of the SSEB evaluations will be presented to the SSA for decision of award.

To be considered Acceptable, each offeror shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors. Sufficient detail shall be provided, citing specific data as may be required, such that the proposal may be adequately evaluated. The proposal must show clearly that the offeror has an understanding of the work tasks required and has the capability and responsibility to accomplish the work.

The Government is not responsible for information overlooked during the evaluation which is not located in the appropriate proposal section. To ensure the evaluation credit is appropriately received for proposal material submitted, do not incorporate by reference documents not contained in the proposal. References to sections of the proposal shall be by specific paragraph number (and name, if applicable), page number, and section.
