SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION Quotation Submission Instructions: The Offeror shall include the following information in its open market quotation, organized as indicated below. Lack of responsiveness may be considered indicative of the offeror's lack of understanding of the Government's requirements and may result in the quotation being deemed unacceptable a. Completed Minimum Requirements Document The offeror shall complete the attached document entitled "Attachment A - Minimum Requirements" to display their solution's compliance with the minimum functional requirements of the required ID Management System. An Offeror must complete Attachment A with brief descriptions as to how their solution meets each of the minimum requirements. b. Description of Relevant Experience The Offeror shall provide a detailed description of their relevant experience in the customization, implementation, installation, and configuration of ID Management Systems. Documentation regarding experience shall not exceed 5 pages in length. c. Past Performance Information Questionnaire A completed Past Performance Information Questionnaire (the required format is attached to the solicitation) for similar contracts/orders for which the offeror has performed as a prime Contractor or as a first-tier subcontractor on similarly scoped contracts/orders awarded to them in the past three years by governmental entities (federal, state, or local) or by nongovernmental entities. The offeror shall submit Part I of the questionnaire with its quotation. The offeror should have its references submit Part II of the questionnaire according to the instructions contained therein. d. Cost/Price The Government contemplates award of a Time & Materials type contract resulting from this solicitation. The Offeror must breakdown the cost per component of the system provided. The Offeror must specify fixed hourly rates in its quotation that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit. The Offeror must specify whether the fixed hourly rate for each labor category applies to labor performed by-- (1) The Offeror; (2) Subcontractors; and/or (3) Divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the offeror under a common control; The Offeror shall propose the applicable labor categories, total number of ceiling hours per labor category, a fully loaded hourly rate per labor category, and a ceiling labor-hour cost based on those labor categories, hours and fully loaded rates for performance of all activities required by this solicitation. The cost/price section of the quotation shall also include a detailed breakdown of travel requirements, if any, proposed by the Offeror. Such breakdown should include specific trips, number of days per trip, as well as cost for hotels, lodging, meals and incidental expenses. Travel costs should be based on Chapter 301 of the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) and would be reimbursed accordingly. For current GSA-approved per-diem rates and personally operated vehicle (POV) rates that should be used to estimate travel costs, go to www.gsa.gov, and then click on "Per Diem Rates" and "POV Mileage Reimbursement" on the top left side of that page. Airfare would be reimbursed as coach class airfare. The Government will allow application of General and Administrative (G&A) burden to proposed travel costs (if any), but will not authorize payment of profit on travel costs. Therefore, the Offeror shall not include profit for proposed travel costs. The Offeror shall submit its quotation by email so that it is received at keith.bubar@nist.gov no later than August 31, 2010 at no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The Government intends to use a tradeoff process to award a purchase order to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, evaluated cost/price and other factors considered. The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest-cost/priced offeror or to the offeror with the highest technical rating if the Contract Specialist determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government. Upon receipt of proposals, the Contract Specialist will review them to determine if each offeror followed all of the proposal preparation instructions in this solicitation. A proposal that did not follow the proposal submission instructions may be deemed unacceptable and may not be further evaluated. Each proposal will be evaluated against the factors described below. Evaluation Factors: A. Technical Capabilities: The Government will evaluate the offeror's response to the Minimum Requirements document. The Government will assess how well a Contractor's technical response addresses NIST's requirements. A Contractor is not solely limited to discussion of these features. The offeror must demonstrate that the proposed equipment satisfies all of the technical requirements described in the Minimum Requirements. If applicable, evidence that the Offeror is authorized by the original equipment manufacturer to provide the item(s) in the quotation should be included. B. Experience: The Government will evaluate the offeror's experience to determine the overall amount of relevant experience that the offeror has had in the customization, implementation, installation, and configuration of ID Management Systems. C. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the offeror's past performance information to determine its relevance to the current requirements and the extent to which it demonstrates that the offeror has successfully completed relevant contracts in the past three years. The Government will assign a neutral rating to offerors with no relevant past performance information within the past three years or for which past performance information was reasonably unavailable. The Government may also obtain past performance information from sources other than those provided by the offeror in its quotation to complete its evaluation of this factor. D. Evaluated Price/Cost: The Government shall evaluate offerors based on the proposed price of the overall solution and its components within. Factors A, B and C, when combined, are considered to be more important in weight to Factor D. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the Government's interest.
