All work must be performed on-site at Cleveland, OH (USCGC MORRO BAY, 1055 East 9th St., Cleveland, OH 44114) and at the contractor's off-site repair facility. The planned Period of Performance (PoP) starts within five (5) days of contract award.

This acquisition is a 100% total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336611, with a corresponding small business size standard of 1,300 employees. The applicable Product Service Code is J020.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation represents the best value to the Government. In accordance with RFO FAR 12.203, the Government will conduct a comparative evaluation of all timely received quotations to determine which quote is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Capability

2. Past Performance

3. Total Price

Quotations will be evaluated on Technical Capability based on how well the proposed products or services meet the Government's requirements as outlined in the Statement of Work. The Government will perform a side-by-side comparative evaluation of quotations to determine the most advantageous solution. Predetermined subfactors or formal scoring will not be utilized.

The Government will evaluate Past Performance on an acceptable or unacceptable basis to assess the likelihood of successful performance. To receive an acceptable rating, past performance must demonstrate a record of satisfactory or higher performance of recent and relevant work, or a lack of recent or relevant past performance history (which shall be evaluated as acceptable). Past performance demonstrating marginal or below performance is unacceptable.

Offerors shall identify all subcontractors anticipated to perform work under this contract. For each subcontractor, the offeror shall provide the subcontractor’s name, address, point of contact, phone number, the specific work items/specifications they will perform, and the percentage of work they will execute.

Prices must be all-inclusive and must cover all costs associated with providing the services, including but not limited to labor, materials, equipment, supervision, transportation, duties, tariffs, fees, and any other costs. The contract is structured around clearly defined outcomes and deliverables to promote efficiency, accountability, and cost discipline, shifting performance and schedule risk to the contractor. The Government may consider offers nonresponsive if they include conditional pricing, price escalation language, or statements indicating that prices are subject to adjustment based on future costs or fees.
