Source selection process will be "Lowest-Priced, Technically-Acceptable." Lowest priced proposal will be based upon the combined total cost for all bid items. If available funding at time of receipt of proposals is not sufficient to award all line items in the bid schedule, the Service will make a determination on what line items are considered most desirable based upon available monies. Lowest price for all proposals will then be evaluated based upon the total for those line items deemed most desirable to the Service. If the lowest priced proposal is technically acceptable, award will be made and no other proposals evaluated. If the lowest priced proposal is not technically acceptable, the Service will evaluate the next lowest priced proposal and so on until a proposal is identified to be technically acceptable. In determining whether a proposal as technically acceptable, the Service will be asking for a technical proposal (not-to-exceed three pages) that specifies similar capability/experience in performing elements of work as described in the attached statement of work with details of work experience over the last 5 years that describe their experience with installing similar radio system installations, as well as submission of up to three references (number of pages will not count towards the 3 page limit for the technical proposal submission) for past projects over the last five years that are similar in nature. Information available from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) may also be used to supplement the evaluation of past performance. Responsibility for insuring points of contact and telephone numbers on references are current are solely the responsibility of the contractor.
