7. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to select for award the single responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation that proposes a price that is fair and reasonable, and that provides the Best Value to the Government. The selection will be based on evaluation of the following evaluation factors: Performance Confidence, Technical Approach, and Price.

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e. best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the following evaluation factors: Performance Confidence, Technical Approach, and Price. The non-price factors are not of equal importance as shown in table 1 below.

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 best value.

The Non-Price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Offerors, receiving an Unacceptable rating on any individual factor will not be considered for award.

Offerors are cautioned that award may not be made to the lowest price offered.

FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

Factor 1: Performance Confidence. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, relevant performance of the prime offeror and team members and assign a past performance evaluation. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality assessment. The Government will evaluate these aspects to establish one performance confidence rating for this factor.

Factor 2: Technical Approach: The Government will evaluate the offeror's explanation of its proposed technical approach to the project. The Government will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses and any deficiencies in the submission and assign one combined management and risk rating for this factor.

Factor 3: Price. The resulting award will be a firm-fixed-price contract. Submitted prices will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through a price analysis that compares offers against each other and against an Independent Government estimate.

The relative weight given to the evaluation factors is described in the table below.

RELATIVE WEIGHT OF EVALUATION FACTORS

Table 1. Relative Weight of Evaluation Factors

Factor Number

Description

Relative Importance

Factor 1 Performance Confidence This factor is more important than Factor 2

Factor 2 Technical Approach This factor is less important than Factor 1

Factor 3

Price

All non-priced factors when combined are significantly more important than Factor 3, price.

8. 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. 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.

The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, revised proposals, and if necessary, and any additional information obtained by the Government from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any documents incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

Members of the SSEB will independently evaluate the information provided in the proposal. Once these individual evaluations are completed, the SSEB will deliberate and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor.

The results of the SSEB evaluations will be presented to the Source Selection Authority. The SSA will determine whether it is appropriate to engage in clarifications, communications or discussions. The ratings on individual factors, to include all support documentation, will be provided to the SSA.

Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts for the submission, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to determine their performance capability. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in the proposal after submitting it.

9. TECHNICAL RATING

The Source Selection Team (SST) will use a combined technical/risk rating system that includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Assessment of technical risk, which is manifested by the identification of weakness(es), considers potential for disruption of schedule, increased costs, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and/or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

Combined technical/risk evaluations shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in Table 2.

The Offeror shall be assigned one of the following ratings for Factor 2.

Table 2. Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Color Rating Description

Blue

Outstanding Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple

Good

Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow

Marginal

Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable, and/or risk of performance is unacceptably high.

Table 3. Technical Risk Rating Method

Rating Description

Low Proposal may contain weakness/weaknesses which have low potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Normal contractor emphasis and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may have a moderate potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

High

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to have high potential to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will unlikely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a deficiency or a combination of significant weaknesses that causes an unacceptable level of risk of unsuccessful performance.

Ratings will be assigned for each of the technical evaluation factors for each offeror. No overall rating will be assigned.

10. DEFINITIONS

Rating: The rating for the Technical factors will be expressed as an adjectival assessment of Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable.

Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.
