The Contracting Officer intends to apply Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Federal Acquisition

Regulation (RFO) 15.104(b)(1)(ii)(A)(3), Establishing Competitive Evaluation Factors and

Significant Subfactors, utilizing a qualifying offer approach. Under this approach, the

Government intends to award a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to ALL qualified offerors.

A Qualifying Offeror is an Offeror that is determined to be a responsible source, submits a technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation, and is an

Offeror for which the Contracting Officer "has no reason to believe" would be likely to propose other than fair and reasonable pricing.

In accordance with (IAW) RFO 15.104, Establishing Competitive Evaluation Factors and

Significant Subfactors, price will not be requested or evaluated as part of the base MATOC award determination, including the base ordering period or any optional ordering periods. Award of the MATOC(s) will be made to all responsible Offerors whose proposals are determined technically acceptable and otherwise meet the qualifying criteria for award. To be eligible for award, Qualifying Offerors must receive a rating of "Acceptable" for both factors. The

Government will not award a contract to an offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001, Definitions.

Although price will not be evaluated at the base MATOC level, the Contracting Officer shall consider price or cost as one of the evaluation factors for each task order issued under the

MATOC. IAW RFO 15.104(b)(1)(ii)(B), Establishing Competitive Evaluation Factors and

Significant Subfactors

Submitted projects with a performance less than twelve months will not be considered. A minimum of one project shall be identified as self-performed by the Prime Contractor.

In this context, "Offeror" refers to the proposed prime Contractor and its proposed key subcontractors. A letter of commitment must be provided from all key subcontractors. Prime

Contractor and proposed key subcontractors shall be assessed individually, and the results will then be assessed in their totality to derive the Offeror's Past Performance rating.
