(see Attachment 3, PWS).

3. Basis for Award - The Government intends to award without discussions one firm fixed price (FFP) contract for the acquisition of UTA Lodging multiple CLINs (Attachment 1). All interested parties must quote on CLINs 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001, and 4001 to be considered a complete quote. Award will be made to the lowest price responsible offeror that is determined to be technically acceptable. The Government intends to select one contractor; however, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all.

Since award will be based on initial responses, offerors are highly encouraged to quote their most advantageous pricing in their initial response. The responses to this RFQ are intended to be evaluated, and award made, without discussions unless discussions are deemed to be necessary. 

4.  Best Value Evaluation.  For this procurement, the Best Value determination will be made as Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).  The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:  A) Price and B) Technical.

The following process will be followed:

      A.  Total evaluated price (TEP) will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the price sheet by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN).  The TEP is a two-part computation. First, the offeror's total proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Price Proposal Worksheet by the unit price, limited to two decimal places, for each CLIN to confirm the extended total amount for each CLIN; the sum of all extended amounts will be the offeror's total proposed price. Second, the total proposed price (total amount for CLINs 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001, and 4001) plus the sum of Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8, formula (shown below) will constitute the TEP.

The formula for the Option to Extend Services amount is as follows:

Base Year = CLIN Unit Amount x 6*
Option Year 1 = CLIN Unit Amount x 6*
Option Year 2 = CLIN Unit Amount x 6*
Option Year 3 = CLIN Unit Amount x 6*
Option Year 4 = CLIN Unit Amount x 6*

Evaluation of option prices will not obligate the Government to exercise options.

      B.  Technical will be evaluated by the ratings listed below.  The failure of an offeror to meet the requirements of a factor or subfactor will result in an unacceptable rating.  Technical acceptability will be based on the proposals compliance with the Solicitation and PWS. Offerors that provide solutions that meet the intent of this requirement without additional requirements will be evaluated for award. The technical, past performance, and subcontracting plan factors will receive one of the ratings listed below: 

             (1)  Acceptable:  Quote clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

(2)  Unacceptable:  The quote does not clearly meet the requirements of the
solicitation.

5.  Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) - The SCLS applies to this contract.  Escalation of SCLS components is in violation of FAR 52.222-43(b) "the Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause". The wage determination will be provided at the time of award based on the successful offerors place of performance.
