Offerors can view and/or download the solicitation at https://www.neco.navy.mil/ when it becomes available. Notices, amendments and responses to RFIs will also be posted to https://www.neco.navy.mil/.

All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency.



The solicitation utilizes source selection procedures which require offerors to submit a technical proposal, past performance and corporate experience information, along with a price proposal for evaluation by the Government. The tradeoff process is anticipated to be used for this acquisition. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror.

A draft copy of the evaluation factors are provided as Attachment 2. The final evaluation factors will be included in the RFP.



It is anticipated that the solicitation will require the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:



Factor 1 – Corporate Experience

Factor 2 – Technical Approach/Management Approach

Factor 3 – Safety

Factor 4 – Past Performance



The anticipated relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factor is as follows: non-price evaluation Factor 3, Safety, will only be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. An offeror rated Unacceptable for Factor 3 will be considered ineligible for award, unless the Unacceptable rating is corrected through discussions.

Factors 1, and 2 are of equal importance to each other and, when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment, Factor 4. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, Factors 1 and 2 and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.



The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)).





The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, 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.



IMPORTANT NOTICE: All contractors submitting bids, proposals or quotes on Department of Defense solicitations must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award of the contract.

The purpose of this database is to provide basic business information, capabilities and financial information to the Government. The SAM website can be accessed at www.sam.gov. Reference is made to FAR 52.204-99 (Dev), System for Award Management Registration (AUG 2012)(Deviation). You are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
