It must include a description of related activities and include coordination with major subcontractors, and any other means and methods the offeror believes will give the Government confidence in their understand of the requirement as well as their ability to successfully complete the requisite work.

Factors to be evaluated

PAST PERFORMANCE

Offerors may be required to provide a minimum of three but not more than five examples of completed projects to demonstrate that offerors and/or their major subcontractors (if applicable) have experience:

SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION

It is expected that this factor will consist of:

Proposed Small Business Participation Plan Past Utilization of Small Business Concerns

Offerors shall identify the extent to which Small Businesses (SBs) will be utilized in the performance of this contract, by proposing goals for the Small Business Participation Plan. These goals shall demonstrate their best effort for small business participation.

PRICE

The Price Factor is not rated. It is evaluated for reasonableness.

Offerors are advised that their business decision to submit a low-priced proposal can be considered in assessing their understanding or the risk associated with their proposal.
