Unless otherwise stated in the solicitation, for selection purposes past performance, delivery schedule, meeting specifications, and total price, and are essentially equal in importance. Best Value will be an important consideration in selection. Technical acceptability will be determined by information submitted by the offeror providing a description in sufficient detail to show that the product offered meets the Government's requirement (see specifications above) and any best value criteria the offeror wishes to address. It is critical that offerors provide adequate detail to allow evaluation of their offer. (SEE FAR 52.212-1(b)). Best Value Criteria: The following will be BVC considerations: 1. Extended IR responsivity of the detectors beyond the 2040nm specification, 2. Presence and quality of a PC supplied with the system (note: a PC not included in baseline system specifications above) 3. Warrantee offered, its coverage and effective period Note: See instruction in price section above if offering any best value item. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the following Internet site for the release of solicitation amendments (if any): http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=22 . Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this combination synopsis/solicitation and amendments (if any).
