            36C24726Q0749 – Asbestos Abatement

            Quotations shall include:

1. Company name, address, UEI, CAGE code, and point-of-contact information;
2. Completed CLIN price schedule;
3. A technical narrative demonstrating the quoter’s ability to perform the entire Statement of Work;
4. Identification of required asbestos-abatement licenses, certifications, and qualified personnel;
5. A proposed performance schedule demonstrating completion within the required period;
6. Description of the proposed abatement, containment, air-monitoring, disposal, and clearance-testing approach;

8. Identification of proposed subcontractors and the work each subcontractor will perform;
9. Completed VAAR 852.219-75 certification;
10. Acknowledgment of all solicitation amendments; and
11. Any representations or certifications not current in SAM.gov.

            Quotations should be concise but contain sufficient information for the Government to evaluate compliance, capability, performance risk, and price.

            Submission of merely a statement that the quoter will comply, without supporting information demonstrating its capability and approach, may be considered insufficient.

1. Evaluation and Basis for Award

            Award will be made to the responsible, eligible SDVOSB whose quotation is most advantageous to the Government using streamlined comparative evaluation under FAR12.203(c)(2).

            Evaluation factors:

1. Technical Capability
2. Past Performance
3. Price

            No numerical scoring, adjectival ratings, or FAR Part 15 competitive range procedures apply.

            Factor 1 – Technical Capability

            The Government will evaluate whether the quotation demonstrates an acceptable understanding of and capability to perform the complete requirement, including:

• Asbestos-abatement qualifications and licensing;
• Qualified personnel and supervision;
• Proposed equipment, containment, and abatement procedures;
• Air-monitoring and clearance-testing approach;
• Waste handling, transportation, and disposal;
• Compliance with applicable safety and facility requirements;
• Ability to coordinate access, shutdowns, and scheduling; and
• Ability to complete performance within 20 calendar days after Notice to Proceed.

            A quotation that fails to demonstrate the ability to meet a material solicitation requirement may be determined technically unacceptable and ineligible for award.

            Factor 2 – Past Performance

            The Government will evaluate recent and relevant past performance involving asbestos  abatement, hazardous-material removal, or work of comparable complexity and risk.

            The Government may consider information submitted by the quoter and information obtained from CPARS, Government records, references, or other reasonable sources. A quoter without a record of relevant past performance will not be evaluated favorably or  unfavorably solely because of the absence of past-performance information.

            Factor 3 – Price

            The Government will evaluate the total quoted price for fairness and reasonableness. The Government may evaluate price using competition, comparison with the Government  estimate, historical pricing, market information, or another method authorized by FAR Part 12.

            Comparative Selection

            The Government will perform a direct, side‑by‑side comparison of technically acceptable quotations to identify meaningful differences in capability, performance risk, past performance, and price. The Government will select the quotation that represents the best overall value based on these comparative advantages.

            Award will not automatically be made to the lowest‑priced technically acceptable quotation. A higher‑priced quotation may be selected if its strengths and lower   performance risk provide value that justifies the additional cost. The Government will not          pay a premium when a higher‑priced quotation does not offer commensurate value.

            The Contracting Officer will exercise business judgment in determining which quotation is more advantageous to the Government.

            The Government reserves the right to:

1. • Make award without requesting revisions;
   • Request clarifications from one or more quoters;
   • Reject quotations that fail to meet material requirements;
   • Make no award if it is in the Government’s best interest; and
   • Make award to a single acceptable SDVOSB when only one quotation is received and the price is determined fair and reasonable.
