The selection of a contractor for award will be based on the specification strength and quality in the area of the offeror?s technical proposal. Offerors shall include a detailed product description that highlights specifications and quality. The technical quote will be significantly more important than past performance and price. Past performance and price are of equal importance. The Government intends to make a single award for all items. The price proposals are not rated against standards but will be evaluated for realism, completeness, and reasonableness. It is the Government?s intent to award to an offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the combined synopsis/solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Government the greatest confidence that it will meet or exceed the requirements affordably. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Contracting Officer reasonably determines that the technical superiority and/or overall business approach and/or superior past performance of the higher price offeror outweighs the cost difference. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the best value selection process, by its nature, is subjective. Professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. Offerors are cautioned that unsupported promises to comply with the RFQ requirements will not be sufficient. Quotes must provide convincing documentary evidence in support of any conclusionary statements relating to promised performance. Past Performance: Offerors shall provide references for a minimum of three of the offeror?s customers (contracts and/or subcontracts) for items of same or similar scope. Projects cited and past performance references shall be recent (within the last 3 years of the date of the quote). The references should be limited to a brief description of the service provided, together with client points of contact (NOTE: Include E-mail address and phone number for references!). Each offeror will be evaluated on their performance under existing and prior contracts for similar services during the past three years. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. The offeror?s record of past performance, or the lack thereof, will be an important factor in the assessment of the risk involved in the offeror?s quote. Delivery: Offerors are directed to FAR 52.211-10 on how they will be able to comply with the delivery requirements as follows: 52.211-10 Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work.
