Offerors are urged to ensure that their proposals are submitted on the most favorable terms in order to reflect their best possible potential. The Government intends to make an award without discussions based upon initial proposals received but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined to be necessary. Award of this contract will go to the offeror wh o offers the best overall value to the Government. Offerors could, for example, be awarded the contract without receiving the highest technical rating. Offerors will be evaluated on their technical approach (Factor One), their management capability (Fact or Two), the companys past performance (Factor Three) and the price for implementation (Factor Four). Evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. Factors 1 and 2 are of equal importance and each of these factors is significantly more important than the past performance factor. All sub-factors are of equal importance. The Government will evaluate offerors proposals using adjectival ratings. FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL APPROACH FACTOR a. O fferors shall submit written data to support their understanding of the requirement and the proposed means of fulfilling the requirement. Offerors should provide a complete narrative for each element listed under the Technical Approach Sub factors as stat ed below. NOTE: Statements that the Offeror understands, can or will comply with all specifications, statements paraphrasing the specifications or parts thereof, or phrases such as standard procedures will be used or well known techniques will be used will be considered insufficient and could render the proposal as unacceptable. Subfactor 1: Experience of Personnel: (1) Demonstrate expertise and experience of personnel proposed to perform the services. Offerors will only submit one resume pe r proposed position. Subfactor 2 Knowledge of Services: (1) Describe contracts or experience with other organizations that reflect your ability to provide the tasks and services identified in the contract Performance Work Statement. FACTOR 2 - MANA GEMENT CAPABILITY FACTOR a. Offerors will demonstrate their ability to provide a reasonable number of personnel, with sufficient training, to provide all the tasks and services identified in the overall Performance Work Statement. FACTOR 3 - PAST PERFOR MANCE FACTOR a. Offerors should be able to show how they have successfully executed similar work. Contractor should be able to show what separates their company from potential competitors. Lack of past performance will receive a rating as neutral, havin g no favorable or unfavorable impact on the evaluation. All pertinent past performance should be included. However, as a minimum, list relevant projects, current or completed within the past five years that best demonstrate your relevant past performance w ith this type of work. Include dates, location, types of contract, dollar values, description of the work, and references. Reference Information should include the name, address, fax number and telephone number of the Contracting Officer or other contrac t administrator. References should also be provided for any anticipated subcontractors to be used. Attached is a Past Performance Questionnaire. This questionnaire is to be filled out by a minimum of three (3) different references for the potential offer ors past performance and provided back to the government with their proposal. Past performance shall be provided for companies with similar size and similar scope. FACTOR 4  PRICE FACTOR a. This factor will be evaluated on the degree to which the prop osed cost/price elements are consistent with the work to be performed. Significantly unbalanced cost/price may be deemed to indicate a lack of understanding of the scope of work or level of technical expertise required. Prices will be evaluated for the full term of the contract.
