Proposals submitted in response to this request for proposal will be evaluated based upon the following non-price or non-cost factors, which are of equal importance: Factor (A) Past Performance: sellers shall submit not less than two references for services performed during the past three years. Each reference shall include: the company or agency name, address, contract or order number, point(s) of contract phone number and email address(es). References provided may be contacted by the Government. Their statements will be used in the evaluation of the offeror=BFs proposal. In addition, any information obtained by the Government from references outside of the offeror=BFs proposal may also be used, in a similar manner, in the technical evaluation of the offeror=BFs proposal to the extent appropriate. Past performance information provided by references, from Government records, or from other than the sources identified by the offeror may be used in the evaluation under any or all applicable evaluation factors. In addition to the foregoing, PIPRS.gov will be used as a source of past performance information in the source selection process, in addition to any other past performance information required under this solicitation.

(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. Award shall be made to the vendor whose proposal, conforming to this RFP, is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, cost or price and the other non-cost or non-price factors listed above.

The degree of importance of price or cost as an evaluation factor will increase with the degree of equality in the technical merits of the proposals. Between acceptable proposals with a significant difference in technical merit, a determination will be made as to whether the additional technical merit or benefits reflected by a higher priced proposal warrants payment of the additional price or cost.Offerors must have completed ORCA registration and comply with the provision at 52.212-3.
