required to perform the requirements. This may include submission of a proposal which is abnormally high or low

in Price (unbalanced pricing) or unattainable in terms of technical or schedule commitments: or

c.Offers that do not meet all the stated material requirements of this combined synopsis/solicitation; or

d.Offers that propose exceptions to the attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or other combined synopsis/solicitation

terms and conditions.

Evaluation and Source Selection Process

Selection: Selection of the successful Offeror shall be made following an assessment of each proposal, based on

the response to the requirements of this solicitation. Proposals will be evaluated as specified in Proposal

Evaluation Section below.

Evaluation: The evaluation of proposals submitted in response to this combined synopsis/solicitation shall be

conducted in accordance with a LPTA competition.

Award without Discussions: In accordance with FAR 52.212-l (g), the Government intends to evaluate proposals

and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)).

Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal shall contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be

necessary. 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.

Determination of Responsibility: In accordance with FAR 9.103, contracts will be placed only with Contractors that

the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible. Prospective offerors, in order to qualify as sources for this

acquisition must be able to demonstrate that they meet standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.1 04. No

award can be made to an Offeror who has been determined non-responsible by the Contracting Officer.

PROPOSAL EVALUATION

Evaluation Factors: The Technical volume of the proposal will be evaluated against the requirements described in

the Performance Work Statement (PWS) contained in this solicitation. The Technical Volume will be determined to

be "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable", using the following ratings:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable--Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable--Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Technical Proposal (Volume I)

FACTOR I: Technical Factor: The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical proposal based on the technical

factors stated above under Factor 1 Instructions, also see the PWS for further details..

FACTOR 2: Past Performance Factor:

Past Performance rating will be an Offeror's probability of meeting the requirements. Past Performance uses two

aspects: relevancy and recency. The assessment is based on the Offeror's record of relevant and recent past

performance information that pertains to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

Recency is described as contractual efforts undertaken within three years prior to this solicitation. Relevance

pertains to whether the Offeror's present/past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort.

The second aspect of past performance will be determining how well the contractor performance on the contracts.

This evaluation does not establish, create, or change the existing record of performance rather the past

performance evaluation gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed on those past

contracts.

Each Offeror's proposal will receive an acceptable, or unacceptable rating. The Government may use data

provided in the Offeror's proposal and data will be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, Past

Performance Information Retrieval System and interviews with other Government officials.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Acceptable: Based on the Offeror's performance record the Government has a reasonable expectation that the

Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note

below.)

Unacceptable: Based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that

the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant Past Performance or for whom information on past

performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably

assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2)

(IV). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of

acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown'' shall be considered "acceptable."

FACTOR 3: Price Factor (Volume II):

The Government will evaluate the price proposal for award purposes by adding the Total Cost (base plus 2 option

years) of Preventive Maintenance and Repair sections of the Quote Registry by using price analysis techniques

described in FAR 15.404-1(b) based on competition and other factors. Accordingly, the analytical techniques and

procedures described in FAR 15.404-1 may be used singly or in combination with others, as determined by the

Contracting Officer, to ensure the costs are fair and reasonable. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, may

raise a fundamental issue of the Offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of the work required and may be

grounds for rejection of the proposal as inadequate.

Partial quotes will not be evaluated by the Government.
