(a)The Government will award the contract to the offeror(s) who (a) asserts to the terms of the RFP, and (b) has the best combination of experience, past performance, and price. Experience is a matter of the number of opportunities an offeror has had to do similar work and to encounter the kinds of problems that the Contractor is likely to encounter in the performance of this contract. Past performance is a matter of an offeror’s reputation for integrity and customer satisfaction. Quality control and the understanding of the work is a matter of the offeror’s familiarity with the nature of the work and with the kinds of problems the Contractor is likely to encounter during performance. Award(s) may be made without further discussions. Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms, from a technical and cost standpoint, which the offeror can submit to the Government.

(b)Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the best value to the Government, technical and price factors considered. (c)Each offeror’s proposal will be evaluated with respect to the past performance, technical, and price factors. The non-price factors, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price. (d)Price will contribute significantly to the source selection decision and will be evaluated as to completeness, realism and reasonableness. The importance of price will increase as the degree of technical merit differences between competing proposals decreases. If technical proposals are considered to be essentially equal in technical merit, price will become the determinative factor in making an award.
