Selection of the Contractor for this Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will be based on NARA's assessment of the best overall value to the Government. Accordingly, best value for this contract will be obtained through a lowest priced technically acceptable evaluation. Acceptability will be determined by accessing the Contractors ability to provide the requirement outlined in the solicitation. The Contractor will be evaluated to assess the demonstrated quality of performance on similar work, to include the ability to control the quality and cost of work, timeliness of performance, and effectiveness at accomplishing the goals of previous relevant work. Contractors are requested to submit no more than three (3) references for relevant past performance performed during the past five (5) years. Submission should include the entity name, a point of contact, contact information, dollar value of contract/order, brief description of work performed, and an explanation of how any performance difficulties were addressed and resolved. If the interested Contractor has no relevant past performance, an affirmative statement that no relevant past performance exists must be submitted. Exceptions taken to any terms and conditions stated in the RFQ must be clearly outlined on a separate page of the Contractor's quotation entitled "Exceptions". The Contractor must also include a justification and the cost impact of each exception noted. However, Exceptions may render the quotation unacceptable for award. The Government reserves the right to make an award on the initial quotation without communicating with contractors. For evaluation purposes, the total ceiling price for each not-to-exceed Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) will be determined by multiplying the maximum quantity by the firm-fixed unit price. The total ceiling price for each performance year will be determined by summing the total ceiling prices of each CLIN. The evaluated total contract ceiling price will be determined by summing the total ceiling price of all performance years (base year and all option years).
