The tradeoff process is anticipated to be used for this acquisition. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror.

It is anticipated that the solicitation will require the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Factor 1 - Corporate Experience
Factor 2 - Technical Approach/Management Approach
Factor 3 - Safety
Factor 4 - Past Performance

The anticipated relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors are Factors 1 and 2 are of equal importance to each other and, when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment, Factor 4. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, Factors 1 and 2 and past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment combined are approximately equal to price. Factor 3, will be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. An offeror rated Unacceptable for Factor 3 will be considered ineligible for award, unless the Unacceptable rating is corrected through discussions (if discussions are conducted).

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
