A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed effort on a full and open competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the Low Price Technically Acceptable offeror. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: (1) Technical Capability (2) Past performance (3) Price In order to be rated ?Technically Acceptable? overall, the proposal must be rated ?Technically Acceptable? in the evaluation factors Technical Capability and Past Performance. Offerors that are rated ?Technically Unacceptable? on Technical Capability will not be evaluated for Past Performance and will not be considered for contract award. (1) Technical Capability of the item(s) offered to meet the government requirement To be determined technically acceptable, the Offeror must meet all the minimum specifications/standards stated in the purchase description for Item 0001. Offerors shall (a) furnish technical information, which may include technical specifications, product literature/brochures and photos to demonstrates or confirm that the offeror meets all aforementioned minimum specifications and (b) provide a statement or explanation to demonstrate how it will meet the required delivery schedule. Failure to meet anyone of the minimum specifications and the required delivery date will render the proposal ?Technically Unacceptable?. (2) Past Performance Offeror's Past Performance information will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for at least 3 of its most current and relevant contracts. Current is defined as a contract (or subcontract) in-progress or a contract (or subcontract) completed within the last 3 years. Relevant is defined as a contract that is current and also any Federal, State, or local government, or private contract that is for items similar and/or identical to those required under this solicitation. Information utilized will be obtained from these references as well as any other sources who may have relevant information. Quotes which lack relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for this factor. Any Offeror's proposal which has no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposals of other offerors. For each contract provided as a reference, the Offeror should provide the following information: CONTRACT INFORMATION Contract Number: Date Completed: Contract Type: Fixed Price Cost Reimbursement Other (Specify) Item Description and Quantity: Customer Name: Customer POC: (Person who can verify data) Address: Telephone: FAX: QUALITY NOTE: An explanation must accompany all answers with an asterisk(*). Was consideration or a monetary withhold for non-conforming supplies/services or late deliveries assessed against this contract? YES * (Explanation) NO Was/is any part of this contract terminated for default and/or in litigation? YES * (Explanation) NO Was any warranty work completed on delivered items? YES * (Explanation) NO Did you receive any quality awards in the past three years? YES * (List Awards) NO TIMELINESS Were all items delivered within the original contract schedule? YES NO * (Explanation) The Contracting Officer will evaluate Offeror's PAST PERFORMANCE as follows: (a) Neutral: Offerors without a record of relevant past performance history or for whom past performance information is not available may receive a neutral rating for past performance. The evaluation of past performance will take in account past performance information regarding timely delivery of a quality product conforming to the solicitation/contract requirements. The Government reserves the right to review past performance information and if deficient in demonstrating an "acceptable" risk, rate the past performance either as "neutral" or "unacceptable." The Offeror must provide the information requested above for past performance evaluation or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance. An Offeror failing to provide the past performance information or to assert that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance may be considered ineligible for award. (b) Acceptable: The Offeror?s performance of previously awarded contracts met contractual requirements. The Offeror?s past performance record leads to an expectation of adequate performance, with little risk anticipated with delivery of a quality product, on time, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the Offeror's past performance. (c) Unacceptable: The Offeror?s performance of previously awarded contracts did not meet most contractual requirements. Offeror?s past performance record leads to a strong expectation that successful performance will not be achieved. Significant potential risk is anticipated with delivery of a quality product, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the Offeror's past performance. (3) Price (a) Price will be evaluated for reasonableness. Performance risk assessments may be conducted as appropriate in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(d)(3). The Government will evaluate quotes on the basis of total aggregate price of all items. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all items. Quotes shall: 1) Show the proposed unit price and/or extended price. In case of discrepancy between a unit price and an extended price, the unit price will be presumed to be correct. (b) An offeror must propose a price on all sizes/quantities. Any quote failing to do so will not be considered for award The Government intends to make a single award for all items. Note: In evaluating those quotes determined under Factor (1) to be technically acceptable, Factor (2), Past Performance, is approximately equal to Factor (3), Price. However, the degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the proposals with regard to Past Performance. Each initial quote should contain the Offeror?s best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. The government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. After an initial evaluation of proposals in accordance with 52.212-2, FISC San Diego intends to conduct an on-line anonymous competitive reverse auction to be facilitated by a third-party reverse auction provider, Procuri.com (www.govauctions.procuri.com). This is a private reverse auction and only those offerors who are deemed to be technically capable of providing these items, after government evaluation, will be invited to participate in the on-line reverse auction.
