The option item, if exercised, may be exercised at any time up to six months after the date of the initial award. Offers may propose on any or all line items. Multiple awards may result from this synopsis/solicitation. If made, multiple awards will only be made for individual pieces of test equipment (CLIN 0002 through CLIN 0009).

For CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0010, if proposed, the provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items is incorporated. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to that responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate the offers. The following factors are listed in descending order of importance. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price: 1) Proposals will be evaluated on the extent to which the offeror understands the task areas and technical requirements as described in the Statement of Work. This evaluation factor will include the extent to which the proposal indicates a clear understanding of the importance of both the radar absorbing material performance and its layout within the Central Target Simulator (CTS) anechoic chamber to achieve the specified anechoic chamber performance, the extent to which the proposal includes either a new layout or states clearly that the current layout will be used, whether the proposal includes data from simulations/analyses that summarizes the expected performance of the refurbished CTS anechoic chamber, and whether the proposal includes data sheets for the types of radar absorbing material to be used on the project that show that the absorption, fire retardancy, and reflectivity specifications will be met. Also to be considered is whether the offeror manufactures and installs RAM and the extent to which the offeror understands the design of anechoic chambers. 2) Proposals will be evaluated on the offerors ability to schedule, manage and execute the work outlined in the Statement of Work. This evaluation will include the extent to which the offeror provides information on the team it proposes to execute this project, including which parts of the effort each team member will perform, and how the proposed team will work together to accomplish the overall effort. The evaluation will also include the extent to which a project manager is proposed, the expertise and experience of this individual in managing similar projects, and the amount of corporate resources available to this manager. This evaluation will also include whether the offeror provides a schedule for the project, including the amount of downtime anticipated for the on-site tasks of absorber removal, surface preparation, absorber installation, and performance testing. 3) Proposals will be evaluated on the offeror’s recent performance on similar projects. This evaluation factor will include the extent to which large initial RAM installation or RAM refurbishment projects have been completed or are currently underway, the number of such projects which have been performed in the past five (5) years, the extent to which the offeror’s products and workmanship met the customer’s technical requirements, the extent to which the offeror adheres to project schedules, and whether letters of recommendation and references were included in the proposal. 4) Proposals will be evaluated on the price proposed. For CLINS 0002 though 0009, the Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to that responsible offeror proposing the lowest price for the items that have been determined to comply with the requirements of the specifications and solicitation. The proposal must demonstrate an understanding of the requirement and the ability to meet the specifications. Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate the total price for the basic requirement together with any option(s) exercised at the time of award.
