Offerors must disclose any potential OCI situation to the Contracting Officer as soon as identified including prior to proposal submission. The disclosure should include the facts and an analysis of the actual or perceived conflict and recommended approach(es) to neutralize or mitigate the potential conflict. The preferred approach to potential conflicts is to negate/obviate the conflict.

Mitigation is considered only if it is not practical to negate/obviate the conflict. The Contracting Officer will promptly respond to resolve any potential conflicts.

* Updated via amendment 0001.

EVALUATION

M.1.1. The solicitation is set-aside for small businesses. Offerors may submit proposals for one or both dog types.

The Government anticipates that it will award multiple contracts as a result of this solicitation. However, the Government reserves the right to make a single award to an offeror that proposes the lowest price for both dog types.

The Government also reserves the right to make no award as a result of this solicitation, if pricing requirements are not met. Selection of the successful Offeror(s) shall be made to offeror(s) who proposes the lowest total evaluated price for each dog type.

Proposals will be evaluated as follows:

The Evaluation Factors are:

(a) Price Only

M.2 Rejection of Offers

M.2.1 Offerors must carefully read, understand, and provide all the information requested in Section L. If there are parts of the Section L instructions the Offeror does not understand, the Offeror may submit a question to the Contract Specialist for clarification. Questions will be answered using a Question and Answer (Q&A) form that will be posted on beta.SAM.gov.

M.2.1.1 The proposal fails to meaningfully respond to the proposal preparation instructions specified in Section L of this solicitation Examples of failure to meaningfully respond include:

M.2.1.1.1 A proposal merely offers to perform work according to the solicitation terms or fails to present more than a statement indication its capability to comply with the solicitation terms and does not provide an elaboration as specified in Section L of this solicitation; Examples of failure to meaningfully respond include:

M.2.1.1.2 A proposal fails to provide any of the data and information required by Section L;

M.2.1.1.3 A proposal provides some data but omits significant material data and information required by Section L;

M.2.1.1.4 A proposal merely repeats the contract Performance Work Statement (PWS) without Elaboration;

M.2.1.2 The proposal takes exceptions to the attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or other solicitation terms and conditions.

M.2.1.2.1 The proposal is unbalanced as to price. An unbalanced offer is one which is (a) based on prices significantly high or low for one given period versus another period; or (b) the price of one or more contract line item is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. There must be a direct relationship between the effort expended and its cost or price for each year and each CLIN. The PCO may reject a proposal which is deemed unbalanced.

M.2.1.3 The proposal offers a product or service that does not meet all stated material requirements of the solicitation.

M.3 Evaluation

M.3.1 Evaluation Process. Selection of the successful offeror shall be made following an assessment of each proposal, based on the response to the information called for in the Instructions to Offerors and against the solicitation requirements and the evaluation criteria described herein.

M.3.2 The Price Factor evaluation will consider the total evaluated price to the Government as defined in M.3.5. The Total Evaluated Price will include an assessment of price reasonableness.

M.3.3 Reasonableness exists when the offered price does not exceed what would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. Price reasonableness will be evaluated using one or more techniques identified in FAR 15.404 to determine if the total price proposed is reasonable toward accomplishing the solicited requirement.

The Government may reject a proposal which it considers unreasonable.

M.3.4 If an offeror fails to submit prices for all separately priced CLINs, the offeror's proposal will not be considered for award.

M.3.5 The total evaluated price will be calculated in the price evaluation sheet (Attachment 1). To determine the Total Evaluated Price, the prices for each ordering period (CLINs 1001-1005, 2001-2005, 3001-3005) for the K9 DDD/EDD Services will be added together to provide a total evaluated price. The sum of the proposed price for all ordering periods will be added to provide a total evaluated price. The offeror with the lowest total evaluated price will proceed to award.

M.3.6 Unbalanced Pricing. Offerors should note that pricing will be carefully reviewed to detect proposals that are unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or periods is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

M.3.7. Each proposal will be evaluated to determine the total evaluated price. The Government will identify the proposal with the lowest total evaluated price.

M.3.8 Award without Discussions. This RFP includes FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Competitive Acquisition, in Section L which advises Offerors that the Government intends to make award without conducting discussions. Where award will be made with discussions, exchanges with Offerors are limited to Clarifications as defined in FAR 15.306(a). Therefore, the Offerors initial proposal should contain the Offerors best terms with respect to the price. However, under FAR 52.212-1, the Government reserves the right to hold discussion if necessary.

M.3.9 Determination of Responsibility and Eligibility for Award: Per FAR 9.103, contracts will be placed only with contractors that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible. The prospective Offeror, in order to qualify as a source for this acquisition, must be able to demonstrate that it meets standards of responsibility set forth in FAR

9.104 including provisions for small business contained in 9.104-3(d) if applicable. In addition, the Government may assess the Offeror's financial ability to meet the RFP requirements. The Government reserves the right to conduct a Pre-award Survey on any or all Offerors (or its Subcontractors) to aid the Contracting Officer in the evaluation of each Offeror's proposal and ensure that a selected offeror is responsible. No award can be made to an Offeror who has been determined not responsible by the Contracting Officer. To ensure that the Offeror meets the responsibility criteria of FAR 9.101, the Government may:

a. Perform a Pre-award Survey or arrange a visit to the Offerors facility. The offeror's refusal to authorize the Government to visit the offeror's facility may result in a determination that the offeror is not responsible.

b. Ask the Offeror to provide technical, production, quality, and financial information. If the Offeror does not provide the Government with the data as requested within seven business days from receipt of the request, or if the Offeror refuses to have the Government visit its facility, the Contracting Officer may determine the offeror to be not responsible. If the Government visits offerors facility, the offeror shall ensure that it has current data relevant to its proposal available for the Government to review.
