(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)

(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers;

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest;

accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. A comparative evaluation will be performed in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3). The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1.1. Technical Capability

1.2. Past Experience

1.3. Price Proposal

2. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

3. Basis for Award

3.1. The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Contract as a result of this solicitation.

3.2. Per FAR 9.103, the contract will be placed only with an offeror that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible, that is, those who can satisfactorily perform the necessary tasks and deliver the required services on time. Prospective offerors, in order to qualify as sources for this acquisition, must be able to demonstrate that they meet standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. In addition, the Government may assess the offeror’s financial ability to meet the solicitation requirements. No award can be made to an offeror who has been determined to be not responsible by the Contracting Officer.

3.3. Consistency. Each section of the offeror’s proposal be consistent within the proposal.

3.4. Completeness. The Government’s ability to evaluate a proposal may depend on the level of detail and supporting documentation provided. Insufficient supporting documentation or detail in a proposal may prevent the Government from evaluating a proposal.

3.5. The Government will assess the offeror’s proposal on three factors: (1) Technical Capability, (2)

Past Experience, and (3) Price Proposal.

4. EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

4.1. Evaluation of this factor will assess the offeror's proposed approach and understanding of the requirements and risk of unsuccessful performance of the proposed approach to technical capability in accordance with SOW as well as the sub-factors listed in paragraphs 5.2, 5.3 and

5.4 of the above provision 52.212-1 Addendum. The inability to meet any of the sub-factors will result in non-consideration of the vendor’s proposal.

5. EVALUATION OF PAST EXPERIENCE

5.1. The evaluation of this factor will assess the risk of unsuccessful performance of the offeror’s proposed approach to performing efforts of a similar scope, magnitude, and complexity as the requirement described in the SOW.

5.2. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s past experience to determine the likelihood that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort described in the SOW.

5.3. In evaluating the offeror's performance experience, the Government may compare the offeror's deliveries or performance to the contract's original delivery or performance schedule, unless the delay was Government-caused. Schedule extensions that were the fault of the offeror, even if consideration was provided, may be counted against the offeror.

6. EVALUATION OF PRICE FACTOR

6.1. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3. Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete, and are not unbalanced.

6.2. Reasonableness. The Government will evaluate the price reasonableness of the offerors' proposed prices to ensure that in its nature and amount, it does not exceed what would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government shall employ price analysis techniques in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 to determine that a proposed price is fair and reasonable.

6.3. Completeness. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with offerors, but discussions are not anticipated or intended. Since discussions are not anticipated or intended, the Government requires complete proposals with respect to price. A complete proposal will include all information required by this solicitation.

6.4. Unbalanced Pricing. Offerors should note that pricing will be carefully reviewed to detect whether proposals are unbalanced between line items, as well as unbalance between periods.

Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. Unbalanced offers may be determined unacceptable.

6.5. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price of the 12 month base period and all four 12 month option periods to determine the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The Price for FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services will be accomplished by using the prices offered for the last option period to determine the Price for a 6-month option period, which will be added to the base and other option periods to arrive at a total price. The resulting Contract from this solicitation will be a firm-fixed -price contract.
