Update #7 · Latest ·

September 20, 2018: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-3(d) only requires the agency to furnish a supplier a brief explanation of the basis for the contract award decision, not an actual "debriefing" as would be required under FAR 15.506. Since award was based on factors other than price alone, a brief explanation of the basis for the contract award decision is provided below:

This acquisition was conducted IAW FAR Part 13 versus FAR Part 15. The RFQ announced that although the technical capability factor was of paramount consideration in the award of the contract(s), past performance and price were also important to the overall contract award decision. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, were significantly more important than price. The Government utilized a tradeoff approach to determine the Quoters who provided the best value to the Government. In addition to this, the RFQ announced that awards were contemplated without discussions. As such, a competitive range was not established nor were negotiations/discussions held during the evaluation phase of this procurement. Furthermore, the RFQ stated that, "The Government would not award a contract to any Quoter with an unacceptable rating or a deficiency in ANY factor or sub factor". Therefore, submissions determined to be technically unacceptable due to existing deficiencies could not be considered for contract award. Since the RFQ stated that, "A Quoter must receive an adjectival rating of acceptable or above for each sub factor. Failure to meet the criteria will render the response not eligible for award', those who received a marginal rating in any sub factor(s) were also not considered for award. Additionally, since the Government considered Mission Capability to be of paramount importance, the submissions rated as technically acceptable were not considered superior when compared to those rated technically good and outstanding; technically acceptably rated submissions didn't contain any significant strengths.


Following this, the Government utilized a tradeoff approach to determine the Quoters who provided the best value to the Government. For award # 1, during the trade off, the selection of MDB Incorporated came down to the superiority of their mission capability and past performance submissions, when combined and their fair and reasonable price. It would have been of no benefit to the Government to accept any of the other two (2) higher priced quotes that were not technically superior when compared to MDB's submission. For award # 2, the selection of Lux Consulting Group, Incorporated came down to price; Lux's price was determined to be fair and reasonable. When mission capability and past performance were combined, the two (2) in the tradeoff were equally rated. As such, it would have been of no benefit to the Government to accept a higher priced quote that was equally rated considering mission capability and past performance combined.

. Awarded Vendors: MDB Incorporated & Lux Consulting Group, Incorporated. Contract Award Dollar Amount: $966,059.14. Contract Award Date: 2018-09-17.
