Personnel: The Offeror shall describe the personnel resources proposed, their availability, and their roles/responsibilities in relation to implementation of these requirements. The offeror shall also identify key personnel (listed below) and their relevant experience, and credentials (e.g., number of years experience, clearances, certifications, professional recognition/commendations). Certification certificates and clearance documents are excluded from the page limitations listed above.

Cost/Price Proposal The cost proposal quoted under the requested contract vehicle, shall be valid for 90 days, and should reflect the following information: 1. The labor category, price per hour (in dollars), and number of full time employee (FTE). 2. If there is proposed subcontractor work, this work should be within the scope of the prime contractor's schedule (please acknowledge and state this in your proposal) and proposed under the prime contractor's schedule labor categories and applicable rates. 3. If there is proposed subcontractor work, this work should be within the scope of the prime contractor's proposal and proposed under the prime contractor's labor categories and applicable rates. The Offeror shall submit an original and one copy of its price proposal. The Offeror's price proposal shall consist of a completed Section B. The offeror shall propose a firm-fixed-price for this effort. In addition, any exceptions to this solicitation should be submitted with the price proposal. No adjectival ratings will be used to evaluate Price. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (End of provision) 1. BASIS FOR AWARD: The award will be made based on the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the two (2) evaluation factors: Technical Approach, and Cost. The solicitation will state tradeoffs are not permitted. Management, relevant experience, and personnel will be evaluated as elements of technical approach. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price contract using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13.5. The acceptable proposal with the lowest overall price (including option prices) will be deemed the most advantageous to the Government. 2. EVALUATION CRITERIA: Technical Proposal will be rated as "Acceptable/Non Acceptable". All proposals deemed "Acceptable" will be considered for award. To receive consideration for award, a rating of "Acceptable" must be achieved for the technical approach. The government reserves the right to evaluate the lowest priced proposal first and if it is acceptable then make award to that offeror. In the event that the lowest price proposal is not acceptable, then the second lowest proposed price proposal is evaluated and if acceptable then awarded. The Government reserves the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary. If discussions are deemed necessary the competitive range will be established first and discussions will be held only with those offerors determined to be within the competitive range. The apparent successful offeror's past performance will be evaluated as part of the Contractor Responsibility Determination, to ensure the presence of an acceptable performance record in accordance with FAR 9.104-1(c). Past performance information shall be obtained from any other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to, PPIRS or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee-Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. No adjectival ratings will be used to evaluate Price. Proposed prices will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness using price analysis techniques. 3. As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, first option, second option, and one-half of the second option. Definitions for Acceptable/Unacceptable for Technical Approach: ACCEPTABLE. A technical approach that meets all specified minimum performance, capability, qualification, certification, education, and/or security requirements necessary for satisfactory performance. Approach is sound and executable. UNACCEPTABLE. A technical approach that contains a major error(s), omission(s) or deficiency(ies) that indicate a lack of understanding of the problems, or an approach that cannot be expected to meet the requirements of the PWS and involves a very high risk of unsuccessful performance; and none of these conditions can be corrected without a major rewrite or revision of the proposal.
