This will be accomplished by deleting the past performance evaluation factor and evaluating the individual offeror on the remaining criteria. 2.Key Personnel, including subcontractors. (30%) Evaluation will be based on the ability of the proposed personnel to perform work similar in nature and complexity to that required by the solicitation and will include the following: A.

Price will be a factor in the award decision, although the award may not necessarily be made to that offeror submitting the lowest price. Likewise, award will not necessarily be made for technical capabilities that would appear to exceed those needed for the successful performance of the work. A thorough examination will be made to determine an offeror's adequate understanding of the Scope of Work related to proposal presentation, price (including materials) and other factors considered. The question to be decided in making the final selection will be whether proposals scoring better are worth the dollar difference (if any).As proposals become more equal in their technical merit, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important. As the technical merit and the evaluated cost or price become essentially equal, other factors may become the determining factor.The government will consider other factors, as listed below in descending order of importance, secondary to technical, geographical disbursement, and cost or price; A.HubZone small business concerns;B.Small business concerns which are also minority owned and operated; C.Women-owned firms; andD.Service-disabled veteran-owned small business firms. In addition to the evaluation of technical merit, the cost, or price, and other factors, the standards for determining an offeror's responsibility as set forth in FAR 9.104-1, will be examined and considered. Additional factors which are not specifically set forth in this solicitation, but which are prerequisites for award as implied by law, regulation or public policy will be considered in the determination of an offeror's acceptability.
