1. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

See below Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.212-2 Evaluation Criteria to be used in evaluation for this award.

EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR AWARD

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (Nov 2021)

Proposals that do not respond to all requirements in the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation, deliberation, or discussion. The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be significantly not compliant with the solicitation requirements or reflects a failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the requirements to be provided. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions with Quoters.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government and whose offer is the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. The quote with the lowest evaluated price will be evaluated for technical acceptability. Only if that quote is found to be technically unacceptable will the evaluation proceed to the quote with the next lowest evaluated price. This process will continue until the lowest priced technically acceptable quote is found. The following factors shall be used to evaluate technical acceptability of the lowest priced Quoter:

1. TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH (non-price)

The facilities must have the capabilities to meet the requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW).

2. PAST PERFORMANCE (non-price)

Quoters will be evaluated on their recent (within the past 3 years) performance of relevant requirements as described in the SOW. Quoters should provide three (3) references for the same or similar work performed for Federal, State, and local government and private clients. An Quoter may also provide information on problems encountered on the identified projects and the offer’s corrective actions. The Government will consider this information, as well as information obtained from any other sources, when evaluating the Quoter’s past performance. An Quoter will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance if the Quoter has no record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available.

3. PRICE

A comparison of proposal pricing received in response to the solicitation will be made to make a determination of fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with the Firm Fixed Price nature of this acquisition action. The following is required:

1. 
   
   
   
   1. Proposal pricing shall be provided utilizing the attached Pricing Sheet.
   
   
   2. Fully burdened unit pricing shall be provided, based on the type of range requirements needed as indicated on the Pricing Sheet.
   
   
   3. Lowest price shall be determined by multiplying the maximum annual usage needed for each requirement, as indicated in the SOW and Pricing Sheet, against the proposed unit pricing presented for each requirement, to arrive at a final price for all periods of performance, for the purpose of evaluation.
   
   
   4. Quoters must completely fill out the attached Proposal Pricing Worksheet for each requirement and year to be considered for award.
   
   
   
   

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions with Quoters.
