The Government may award the contract to an offeror that does not offer the lowest price. Selection decisions consider an evaluation of the factors indicated above using an adjectival rating system that grades an offeror's non-price factors. Price will be evaluated, but not adjectivally rated. The Government will perform an initial assessment of the Offerors proposals agaainst the submittal requirements of Section L ?instructions to offerors?. Failure to submit the required documentation in theformat specified in Section L of this solicitation may render the Offerors proposal unevaluatable and the proposal will be eliminated from the competition without further consideration. Responsibility: Pursuant to FAR 9.103, the Contracting Officer will award all contracts to the contractor(s) he or she deems a responsible contractor. Separate from the best value source selection criteria,each Offeror must be able to demonstrate it meets the standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. (a) The Government reservesthe right to conduct a pre-award survey on any Offerors considered for award, to assist in the Contracting Officers determination of Contractor responsibility. The Contracting Officer may also either make a responsibility determination without requesting any information from an Offeror or require theOfferor provide information to substantiate that it satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104-1. The Contracting Officer considers an Offerors ability to respond too his or her r request(s) for information promptly as an indication of the Offerorss level of responsibility. (b) Nothing in this provision limits the Contracting Officers discretion to rel(e.g., past performance databases, discussions with other entities familiar witin FAR 9.1 when determining whether the Offeror satisfies the FAR 9.104-1 general responsibility standards. All evaluation factors other than price when combined are significantly more important than price. There is one non-price factor: past performance. Within the non-price factors, the past performance factor is the most important. The Government reserves the right to make the award to an Offeror other than the Offeror that submits the lowest overall evaluated price, using a Best Value trade-off analysis method of procurement. Offerors must receive a rating of Acceptable or better on all factors to be eligible for award. Evaluation criteria consists of the following factors: FACTOR 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE The Government considers past performance information a predictor of future contract performance. The Government bases its degreeof confidence it has that the offeror will successfully complete the requirements in accordance with the contract terms on the offeror's demonstrated record of recent and relevant performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officerss responsibility determination. Assessment of the offerors past performance transslates a means of evaluating the relative capability ofthe offeror(s) to...
