Such awards or certifications include, for example, the Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award, other government quality awards, and private sector awards and certifications.

Submit the price per month, totals for each year as well as the total for the whole contract (i.e. option years). In addition, fill out the attached Contractor Representations and Certifications and submit with your proposal. Evaluation Criteria and the Basis for Award - The Coast Guard will conduct a best value tradeoff process to determine a single offeror for this Effort. In so doing, the Government may award to other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal. The Coast Guard's evaluation of Offerors' proposals will be based upon a complete assessment of the following: Understanding of the performance work statement requirements. Each Offeror's Proposal will be evaluated to determine whether all requirements of the PWS were addressed. Proposed technical approach, ability to meet required delivery dates; program management and organization; key personnel qualifications; and compliance with requirements. Past Performance - Your company's past performance will be evaluated under existing and prior contracts for similar products and services. The Government will focus on the offeror's performance and information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the procurement under consideration. Sources other than those identified by your company in your proposal may also be contacted/accessed by the Government, with the information received/retrieved by the Government for use in the evaluation of your company's past performance. Relative Importance of Evaluation Criteria - Demonstrated understanding of PWS requirements is the most important non-cost factor. Other non-cost factors are of equal importance. When combined, the non-cost factors are significantly more important than evaluated price. However, the cost must be determined fair and reasonable and will therefore be reviewed for reasonableness. To receive a copy of the Performance Work Statement for this requirement you may either download the attachment, or send an e-mail request (with the solicitation number on the subject line) to ybell@comdt.uscg.mil not later than December 18, 2002.
