EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

1. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

A. This is a competitive Best Value acquisition using the lowest price technically acceptable evaluation process, with technical proposals. This procurement will be conducted as a Total Small Business Set-Aside for small business concerns eligible under the small business program. The Government will award a contract resulting from the solicitation to the acceptable, responsible Small Business offeror whose proposal conforming to this solicitation offers the Best Value to the Government Evaluation criteria are the same for all competing offerors.

B. Offerors shall propose on all items. Any offer that fails to cite a price for each item or fails to make an entry that indicates service will be provided at no charge may be rejected as nonconforming to this solicitation.

C. Only Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) offers will be evaluated. An offer using a sliding price scale or subject to escalation based on any contingency will not be accepted.

D. The evaluation process will proceed as follows:

1. Price: Initially, offers will be ranked according to Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The price evaluation will be made on the basis of the total price of all line items including the corresponding CLINs under Options. An offeror must therefore propose on all line items including the options. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness based on prices submitted from competitive proposals, current market conditions, and comparison to the Government estimate. Prices will also be evaluated to determine if they are materially unbalanced. Materially unbalanced prices risk rejection.

2. The lowest priced offeror will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If the offeror meets all criteria the process will end and award will made to that offeror. If the offeror does not meet all criteria the process will move on to next lowest priced offeror and so on until an award is made.

a. Offerors will be rated Technically Acceptable or Technically Unacceptable. Definitions of technical ratings are: b. Technically Acceptable - The offerors proposal clearly and/or specifically addresses all aspects of the requested technical proposal, to include all significant factors and sub-factors. c. Technically Unacceptable -The offerors proposal does not clearly and/or specifically addresses all aspects of the requested technical proposal, to include all significant factors and sub-factors. d. All offerors will be rated against the Technical Evaluation Checklist (Attachment 2). An offeror rated technically unacceptable in any one area will receive an overall rating of Technically Unacceptable. Offerors must be Technically Acceptable in all factors and sub factors to be rated Technically Acceptable.

3. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

4. Rejection of Unrealistic Offers: The Government may reject any proposal that is assessed to be unrealistic in terms of contract requirements, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low in cost, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect lack of competence or failure to comprehend the scope of the requirement. Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of price may be rejected at any time during the evaluation process. Proposals are intended to be evaluated, and award made, without discussions with the offerors (other than minor clarification[s]), unless discussions are determined to be necessary. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Offerors may be required to participate in telephone discussions or in face-to-face oral discussions at the Operational Contracting Division, 308 West "D" Avenue, Suite 130, Bldg 260, Eglin AFB FL. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial offers received, without discussion of such offers. The offeror's initial proposal should reflect their best effort.
