Evaluation Criteria The Government anticipates awarding a task order to the vendor whose proposal is the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Proposals will be evaluated based on the factors described below. Delivery & Past Performance are significantly more important than price. This Award will be made on a Best Value basis.

All assumptions (both technical and price) shall be included in the proposal. A. EVALUATION CRITERIA. The Government will evaluate proposals based on the following factors. Past Performance Delivery Assumptions, Conditions, and Exceptions will be reviewed for acceptability and potential impact on information provided in the task order proposal. 1. Delivery The Government is seeking to determine the speed of delivery. This factor will be evaluated on the basis of the delivery proposal from the vendor. Licenses must be delivered by 15 March, 2006. 2. PAST PERFORMANCE If the vendor has no single experience that encompasses all types of past performance defined in the sub-factors below, the Offeror may show past performance through a combination of projects that together show that work has been accomplished that is consistent in scope and complexity with the objectives of this SOW. The past performance information should include the vendor?s record of providing high quality services in a timely manner, standards of good workmanship, adhering to contract schedules, administrative aspects of contract performance, overall quality of assigned personnel, availability, stability, reasonable and cooperative behavior, commitment to and business-like concern for the interests of the customer, quality of overall program management approach, record of awards or performance recognition earned, and overall client satisfaction. Past performance that is technically relevant to this requirement will be of more value than non-relevant past performance.

Vendors will be evaluated on examples of past performance wherein the infrastructure and resources of the vendor contributed to the success of similar contracts/task orders.

Each proposal is required to describe a minimum of two but not more than five prior relevant projects that have been completed or are ongoing which are similar in scope and size to this SOW.
