EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer is the Best Value, cost and other factors considered. The technical and past performance factors, factors a. and b. below, combined are significantly more important than price, and are listed in descending order of importance. However, price may become a critical factor in the event that two or more offerors are determined to be essentially equal following the evaluation of technical and past performance factors. Evaluation of price will be based on the offeror ™s total price for all line items. The Factors identified below are in descending order of importance and will be the evaluation factors used to evaluate all offers received: a.Technical Approach- The offeror shall provide in detail a technical approach that will successfully accomplish the requirements of the solicitation and should address the offerors ™ proposed methodology for performing the requirements of the solicitation. The offeror should describe any risks associated with the solicitation, including the performance work statement and any risks associated with implementation of the offeror ™s technical approach; describe any techniques and actions to mitigate such risks; and explain whether the techniques and actions identified for risk mitigation have been successfully used by the offeror. The offeror should provide any other information the offeror considers relevant to the solicitation. b. Past Performance - The Offeror shall submit at least three (3), but not more than five (5) past performance contract descriptions, over the past three (3) years which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation. The Offeror shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts that is of similar scope, and magnitude to that which is described in the solicitation. The offeror should address its past performance in complying with requirements of the clauses at FAR 52.219-8, "Utilization of Small Business Concerns," and 52.219-9, "Small Business Subcontracting Plan." The Government reserves the right to use alternative resources to gather past performance information. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but shall be rated neutral. However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while not rated favorably or unfavorably for past performance, 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. The offeror should provide the information requested above for past performance evaluation, or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance. If an offeror fails to provide any past performance information which is similar in scope, and magnitude to that which is detailed in the RFP or fails to affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance, the offer may not be awardable. The Government will consider the quality of offeror ™s past performance. This consideration is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer ™s responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror ™s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. In determining the rating for the past performance evaluation factor, the Government will give greater consideration to the contracts which the Government feels are most relevant to the RFP. c. Price “ Offerors shall provide a firm fixed price for all line items. The offeror ™s initial proposal shall contain the offeror ™s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest offeror if the Government determines that a price premium is warranted due to technical merit. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the highest rated offeror. The Government reserves the right to make no award as a result of this solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: TECHNICAL PROPOSAL RATING STANDARDS RatingDefinition and Criteria Exceptional (E)The proposal has exceptional merit and reflects an excellent approach which should clearly result in the superior attainment of all requirements and objectives. The proposed approach includes numerous substantial advantages, and essentially no disadvantages, and can be expected to result in outstanding performance. The solutions proposed are considered very low risk in that they are exceptionally clear and precise, fully supported, and demonstrate a complete understanding of the requirements. Good (G)The proposal demonstrates a sound approach which is expected to meet all requirements and objectives. This approach includes substantial advantages, and few relatively minor disadvantages, which collectively can be expected to result in better than satisfactory performance. The solutions proposed are considered to reflect low risk in that they are clear and precise, supported, and demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements. Acceptable (A)The proposal demonstrates an approach which is capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. The approach may have both advantages and disadvantages, however, any disadvantages do not outweigh the advantages and the approach can be expected to result in satisfactory performance. The solutions proposed are considered to reflect moderate risk in that they are for the most part clear, precise, and supported, and demonstrate a general understanding of all the requirements. Marginal (M)The proposal does not demonstrate a full understanding of all the requirements and may pose a risk that the offeror might fail to perform satisfactorily without significant Government oversight or participation. Any advantages that may exist in the approach are outweighed by existing disadvantages. The solutions proposed are considered to reflect high risk in that they lack clarity and precision, or are unsupported. Unacceptable (U)The proposal demonstrates an approach which will very likely not be capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. This approach has one or more substantial disadvantages or contains a deficiency or deficiencies. Collectively, the advantages and disadvantages are not likely to result in satisfactory performance. The solutions proposed are considered to reflect very high risk in that they lack any clarity or precision, are unsupported, or indicate a lack of understanding of the requirement. PAST PERFORMANCE RATING STANDARDS RatingDefinition and Criteria Low Risk (LR)Verification of past performance shows that the offeror consistently meets work schedules, provides specified services, meets contract terms without failure or resolves issues immediately, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. Moderate Risk (MR)Verification of past performance shows that the offeror meets work schedules and specified services most of the time, meets contract terms without failure or resolves issues immediately, and has not been defaulted on any contract within the past three years. High Risk (HR)Verification of past performance shows that the offeror has consistently not met work schedules and other obligations, has defaulted on at least one contract within the past three years, or has chronically failed to meet contract terms, or the past performance information provided is not relevant to this requirement. Unknown Risk (UR)No record of past performance or contact information (telephone, facsimile, or electronic mail address) is available and/or is not valid and/or the points of contact or agencies could not be reached.
