Combined Solicitation/Synopsis is revised/amended to clarify evaluation proceures IAW Federal Acquisition Regulations. Delete previously stated evaluation criteria and replace with the following. Evaluation of Offers. The Government will award an order resulting from this Request for Proposal to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the Statement of Work as referenced within this Combined synopsis/solicitation using the following evaluation procedures. FAR 13.106-2 states the contracting officer has broad discretion in fashioning suitable evaluation procedures. The procedures prescribed in FAR parts 14 and 15 are not mandatory. At the contracting officer?s discretion, one or more, but not necessarily all of the evaluation procedures in part 14 or 15 may be used. If using price and other factors, ensure offers can be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion. Formal evaluation plans and establishing a competitive range, conducting discussions and scoring offers are not required. Contracting officers may conduct comparative analysis of offers. Evaluation of other factors such as past performance does not require the creation or existence of a formal database; and may be based on information such as the contracting officer?s knowledge of and previous experience with the service being acquired, customer surveys, or other reasonable basis. Offers will be evaluated for best value using a trade off process IAW FAR 15.101-1 procedures. This process permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal when perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal merit the additional price. Evaluation factors: Technical Acceptability, Past Performance and Price. Order of importance of evaluation factors: The non-price evaluation factors, Technical Acceptability and Past Performance, are equal in importance and when combined are approximately equal to the price evaluation factor. Technical Acceptability requirements: proposal demonstrates the offerors ability to conform to solicitation requirements as referenced within this Combined synopsis/solicitation. Past performance evaluation will be conducted IAW FAR 13.106-2 as referenced above. Emphasis will be placed on customer satisfaction on quality of service provided and ability to meet schedule. Recent and relevant present and past performance will be evaluated. Recent is performance within 2 years of this proposal due date. Relevant is similar breadth/complexity of training services. A higher relevancy will be assessed for contracts that are most similar to this effort. Proposal response/due date is extended two days from Jan 23, 2006 to Jan 25, 2006 NLT 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Responses should include price schedule, demonstrated capabilities to meet stated requirements and past performance information/references for recent/relevent performance (to include contract number, description, amount, date, POC).
