This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is a request for quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular [FAC 2005-95, effective 19 Jan 2017]. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541611, with a small business size standard of $15 million. The Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) is seeking the services of a qualified vendor in order to assist the VA in the preparation of the Major Construction Financial Review. Please see the Performance Work Statement and submission instructions below for details. All interested companies shall provide a quotation for the following: Services PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT See ATTACHMENT 1 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT Evaluation of Offers Award shall be made to the offeror whose quote offers the best value to the government, considering technical capability, past performance, and price. The government will evaluate information based on the procedures authorized in FAR Part 13.106-2 Evaluation of Quotations of Offers using the following evaluation criteria: 1) Technical Evaluation The evaluation process will consider whether the proposal demonstrates a clear understanding of the technical features involved in meeting the requirements of the solicitation. 2) Price The contractor s quote shall include their proposed labor categories, rates and number of hours by task, together with associated delivery dates and sub milestone dates (if any). The Government will evaluate offers by adding all line item prices - the Total of All CLINS will be that sum. 3) Past Performance The Vendor s quote must include a summary description of at least three but no more than five prior contracts/orders per team member/sub-contractor for projects completed within the last five years with organizations with similar mission and functional domains, and of comparable size, complexity and scope. These references must also include: Contract/Order Number, brief description of the project, type of contract, amount of the contract Contracting Officer s Name and Phone Number, Government agency Contracting Officer s Representative Name and Phone Number The contractor must indicate whether they were the prime contractor, sub-contractor or other teaming arrangement. Prime shall indicate which aspect they are directly responsible for of this requirement. The Offeror is required to provide references for the above projects. In the event the company itself does not have relevant past performance, references may be submitted on contracts performed by the Key Personnel of the company. The VA reserves the right to contact all the references that the Offeror lists. Evaluation Approach A. All quotes shall be subject to evaluation by Government personnel. The Government intends to award without discussions based upon the initial evaluation of quotes. However, it may be determined necessary to conduct discussions if award cannot be made on the initial quotes submitted. B. All Offerors are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the evaluation in the most effective manner. The Government reserves the right to evaluate all Offerors technical quotes should it desire to conduct discussions, or otherwise determine it to be in the Government s best interest. C. The quote will be evaluated strictly in accordance with its written content. Quotes which merely restate the requirement or state that the requirement will be met, without providing supporting rationale, are not sufficient. Offerors who fail to meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation will be rated Unacceptable and thus, ineligible for award. D. Unbalanced Pricing - The Government may evaluate whether the Offeror has submitted unbalanced pricing. An unbalanced price is one where the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated and which will result in the Government paying an unreasonably high price for contract performance or otherwise present an unacceptable level of risk to the Government. If the Contracting Officer determines that the risk is unacceptable, then the bid or offer can be rejected.
