PROPOSAL EVALUATION

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

1) Awards will be made in accordance with Class Deviation 2018-O0006, Evaluation Factors for

Certain Multiple Award Task or Delivery Order Contracts, dated December 13, 2017. The

Government intends to award a contract to each and all qualifying offerors. A qualifying offeror is an offeror who is determined to be a responsible source; who submits a technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation; and whom the Contracting Officer has no reason to believe would likely offer other than fair and reasonable pricing.

a. Responsibility: Offerors will be determined to be a responsible source by completing and submitting the responsibility determination included in the solicitation (See attached

Responsibility Determination Form). The Contracting Officer will review the information submitted and utilize it to make a responsibility determination for each offeror.

b. Technical Acceptance: The Contracting Officer will review the technical submissions of each offeror to make a determination as to the technical acceptability of each offeror.

c. Fair and Reasonable Pricing: Pricing shall not be included as an evaluation factor for the contract awards, but shall be one of the factors in the selection decision for each task order under the contract, in accordance with FAR 16.505. The Contracting Officer may utilize historical and/or past performance information to make a determination that there is no reason to believe that an offeror will offer other than fair and reasonable pricing

2) The Government intends to make award without holding discussions with offerors. However, the

Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Sources Selection Authority (SSA) determines them to be necessary. Therefore, offerors are encouraged to include their best terms and conditions in the initial offer.

3) The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 15, Source

Selection procedures and Class Deviation 2018-O0006). Offers will be evaluated using the evaluation criteria listed below in paragraph B. Noncompliance with the solicitation requirements may raise serious questions regarding an offeror’s technical ability or past performance and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract awards. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the solicitation will be considered unacceptable.

4) The Contracting Officer will begin the evaluation process by conducting a proposal compliance review for all timely-received proposals to determine basic proposal adequacy prior to providing the proposals to the evaluators (the Source Selection Team). Failure to provide a complete proposal may result in the proposal being removed from further consideration for award. Failure to address any factor shall be grounds for elimination from evaluation and consideration for award.

Structures Construction(MATOC) Page 13 of 228 W912EQ19R0001
