Added: Jul 23, 2012 5:32 pm Dear Offeror:

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) invites contractors to submit a proposal for services described in the attached statement of work, under the authority of Part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

No later than 11:00AM on August 7, 2012, please provide this office with a cost and technical proposal to accomplish the work described in the attached Statement of Work.

The selection will consist of a Best Value source selection process based on personnel qualification and experience, organizational past performance, organizational experience, and price. The evaluation criteria are listed in order of importance. Under a best value source selection, non-price evaluation factors, when combined are significantly more important than price. USNRC will evaluate each offeror on its expertise and knowledge of the services described in the scope of work. However, USNRC will not select an offeror for award on the basis of a superior capability without consideration of the amount of its price. In order to select the winning proposal, USNRC will rank each offeror by making a series of paired comparisons between them, trading off the marginal differences in capability and the price. The selection authority will decide whether the marginal difference in capability is worth the marginal difference in price.
