The Government will award a FFP purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror using a Best Value-Trade Off source selection process. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror meeting all requirements of the solicitation and whose proposal contains the combination of those factors offering the best overall value to the Government. The best overall value to the Government will be determined by comparing the difference in value of technical (non-price) features of proposals with the difference in price to the Government.

The following factors will be considered in determining the best value:

Technical Capability

Past Performance

Price

Factor 1 – Technical Capability

Offeror’s must provide the following:

1. Specifications for the items that meet or exceed the Government’s minimum specifications detailed above, in the specified quantities.
2. An example ISO 17025 calibration certificate coversheet from the laboratory supplying the calibration that is compliant with ISO 17025 standard
3. A list of test points to be measured in the ISO 17025 calibration that provide sufficient sample measurements to verify manufacturer specified measurement accuracy.
4. The certificate of accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 from the laboratory performing the calibration and their scope of accreditation, which must include the measurements in (c).

Factor 2 – Past Performance

The Government will consider past performance information in accordance with DFARS Provision 252.213-7000, where negative information within the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) may render a quote being deemed technically unacceptable.
