The business proposal shall ensure that all elements of the Schedule of Deliverables, corresponding tables, and appropriate representations and certifications are completed. Offerors should read the terms and conditions of this solicitation carefully and refer any questions to the Contracting Specialist. Proposals shall be prepared using Arial or Times New Roman; 11-point font style on 8x11 inch white paper. Tables and illustrations may use a reduced font style, not less than 8 points.

To supplement their written proposal, offerors may provide a CD-ROM with supporting information that illustrates the degree of compliance, quality, safety and reliability.

Note: Offerors are advised that proposals sent by conventional US Mail Service are not routed to the above address. FAR 52.212-2: EVALUATION: COMMERCIAL ITEMS: The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract as a result of this solicitation. Each Offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly and concisely describes and defines the Offerors response to the requirements of this solicitation. Use of general or vague statements such as standard procedures will be used will not satisfy this requirement. Unnecessary elaboration or presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the Offerors lack of understanding. M-1.2. The offeror shall demonstrate a thorough understanding of the requirement of the Statement of Work and provide a proposal in accordance with the evaluation criteria in Section M. The Offeror shall also demonstrate they have the appropriate mix of experienced personnel to provide these services. M-1.3. All information must be presented in sufficient detail for the Government to make a comprehensive evaluation of the Offerors understanding of the SOW and of the Offerors capability for successful performance. The proposal should demonstrate this understanding and capability in a concise, logical manner and should not contain superfluous material not directly related to this solicitation. M-1.4. The following factors are listed in descending order of importance. M-1.5. This solicitation will be awarded based on a Best Value Basis, price and other factors considered. Non-price factors such as Technical Capability, Management Plan, and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price. As the technical differences narrow, cost becomes more important. The Government shall not make an award at a significantly higher overall cost or price to achieve only slightly superior technical features. M-2 Factors M-2.1 Technical Capability M-2.1.1. The Offeror will be evaluated on its demonstrated ability to consistently and expertly perform, coordinate, and manage all tasks within the SOW. M-2.1.2. The portfolio will be evaluated to assess the offerors artistical and technical capability. M-2.2 Management Plan M-2.2.1. The Management Plan factor will be evaluated to assess each Offerors ability to manage the requirements of the SOW, provide appropriate staffing, meet milestones, maintain a safe and secure work environment, and minimized the adverse affect of the work on the experience of visitors to the NMMC. M-2.3. Past Performance M-2.3.1. The Past Performance Factor will be evaluated to determine how well the Offeror has performed in the past as an indication of how well the Offeror may perform in the future. The Government will evaulate past compliance with contract requirements, appropriateness of personnel, reliability, responsiveness, and whether all tasks were completed on time. M-2.4 Price M.2.4.1. Proposed prices will be evaluated for price reasonableness and considered in the overall evaluation of best value to the Government. A tradeoff among Non-Price and Price factors allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal where the evaluation determines that the benefit of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional price. M.2.4.2. Although price is the least important factor, it becomes increasingly important when offerors receive similar ratings for the other factors. Prospective Offerors are forewarned that a proposal meeting solicitation requirements with the lowest evaluated price may not be selected if award to a higher evaluated price, offeror is determined to be most advantageous to the Government.
