52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

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 shall be used to evaluate offers:

(I) PRICE
(II) TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

Proposals will be evaluated on a "Lowest Price Technically Acceptable" basis.

-Technical acceptability includes Qualifications outlined in section 4 of the attached Airman Ministry Center Coordinator Statement of Work (SOW). This will be validated by a required submission of a resume, which is required to be submitted at time of proposal in accordance with section 4.5 of the SOW.

The total for CLINs 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001 and 4001 will be added to arrive at a total price. The offer with the lowest total price will then be evaluated for technically acceptability. If the lowest priced offer is considered technically acceptable, then award shall be made to the low offer and evaluations shall stop at this point. If the low offer is not considered technically acceptable, then the next lowest offer shall be evaluated. This process shall continue until lowest priced technically acceptable offer is evaluated.

- An interview will be required before any decision of hiring.**

** The interview process will be held within 5 days after solicitation closing date at Barksdale AFB Chapel 1 between the hours of 8:00a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Interviews will be either face to face or through teleconference. Face to face interviews are preferred but not mandatory. Other written material may be submitted to support oral presentation, but no media will be accepted. The evaluation criteria for the interview questioning process are outlined in the attached "Scoring Criteria for Rated Questions". ONLY the RATED QUESTIONS will determine technically acceptable based on the quantitative results. In addition, the interview will be a maximum of one hour.

Options: The Government will evaluate offers for award 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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
