The solicitation number is W912JA27QA002, issued by the U.S. Army on November 12, 2026, with quotes due by December 7, 2026 at 4:00 PM.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award
1. Basis for Award
This acquisition is conducted under FAR Part 12. The Government will award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to the responsible offeror whose quote represents the best value to the Government, price and other non-price factors considered.
The Government reserves the right to award to an offeror other than the lowest-priced offeror if the superior technical capability, superior safety record, or superior past performance of the higher-priced quote warrant the additional cost.
2. Evaluation Factors and Relative Importance
The Government will evaluate quotes based on three (3) primary factors:
- Factor 1: Technical Capability and Safety
- Factor 2: Past Performance
- Factor 3: Price
Factor 1 (Technical Capability and Safety) is significantly more important than Factor 2 (Past Performance). When combined, all non-price factors (Factors 1 & 2) are significantly more important than Price (Factor 3).
As technical and past performance scores become more equal among offerors, price will become increasingly important in the final award decision.
3. Detailed Factor Criteria
- Factor 1: Technical Capability and Safety
The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical proposal to assess the depth of their capability to safely and reliably execute the PWS. Under the trade-off methodology, the Government will assign a rating of Acceptable/Unacceptable.
The evaluation will focus on three key areas:
1A: Equipment Fleet & Localized Dispatch Capacity:
- Evaluation Standard: Offerors who demonstrate direct ownership or guaranteed, immediate access to newer, highly maintained fleets or both cranes and heavy forklift will be rated more favorably.
1B: Safety Program & EM 385-1-1 Compliance:
- Evaluation Standard: Crane Operations on military bases carry high risk. The Government will evaluate the offeror's submitted Accident Prevention Plan (APP) and their written approach to complying with USACE EM 385-1-1 safety standard.
1C: Management & Subcontracting Plan:
Evaluation Standard: The Government will evaluate how the offeror will manage task orders, dispatching, and invoicing.
- Factor 2: Past Performance
The Government will evaluate the quality, relevance and recency of the Offeror's past performance on contracts of similar scope, complexity, and magnitude. Under the trade-off methodology, the Government will assign a Performance Confidence Assessment rating of Confidence/Not Confidence.
- Relevance: Past Performance involving wet-lease crane operations, military vehicle loading, or heavy rigging on military installations or federal sites.
- Quality of Service: The Government will evaluate CPARS records, SPRS data, and references regarding:
--on-time delivery of certified machinery
--operator professionalism and compliance with installation safety gate-checks
--rapid replacement of broken equipment
- Factor 3: Price
- Price will not be signed a adjectival rating
- The Government will calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) by multiplying the hourly and flat rates provided in section B by the estimated quantities for the five (5) year ordering period.
- The TEP will be analyzed for reasonableness.

(a) Evaluation factors. 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. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:
[Insert evaluation factors in the relative order of importance. For requests for proposals, state:
Evaluation factors other than price when combined are [significantly more important than price /approximately equal to price/significantly less important] than price. For invitations for bids, list only price and price-related factors.]

Past Performance
Please see addendum for further evaluation details.
(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.
