(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF, OR SUBMIT A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO, THE FOLLOWING TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS: The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (1) The Contractor's ability to provide a Radiologist that is certified by the American Board of Radiology and is further certified by the College of Radiology Mammography Accreditation Program. = 30 points (2) The Contractor's Ability to provide consultations to other clinic Providers and work as part of a total healthcare team. = 20 points (3) The Contractor's Ability to interpret standard plain film radiography,ultrasound and mammography exams on regular film format or electronic imaging format. = 30 points (4) The Contractor's Ability to provide reports with a 72 hour turnaround time. = 20 points The Indian Health Service will make a separate determination of price reasonableness. The primary consideration in evaluating this criterion is which offeror can perform the task in a manner most advantageous to the government. Under best value principles, there is no requirement that a task order be awarded on the basis of lowest proposed cost. The award primarily on the basis of estimated costs may encourage the submission of unrealistically low estimates and increase the likelihood of cost overruns. Estimated costs must be reasonable for the tasks to be performed. If consideration is narrowed to choosing among proposals with approximately equal technical criteria as determined by the technical evaluation, cost information can become the determining criteria. Technical Criteria will be 60% and Cost will be 40% determining factors for this award. FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items (May 2011).
