The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the lowest priced responsible offeror whose proposal is technically acceptable in accordance with this solicitation. To determine technical acceptability, the following items will be evaluated: (1) Tungsten Powder Sample In order to be deemed technically acceptable, the offeror must provide a one (1) kilogram sample of Tungsten powder that conforms to the specifications set forth in Section 3 Table I in the Statement of Work (SOW). McAlester Army Ammunition Plant will independently test the sample using the same parameters and testing procedures indentified in Section 4.3 in the SOW. The sample shall be provided to the following testing facility: McAlester Army Ammunition Plant 1C Tree Road McAlester, OK 74501 (2) Certificate of Analysis In order to be deemed technically acceptable the offeror will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the requirement by providing a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and all other documentation to support compliance with the requirements in Section 3, Table I of the SOW. (3) Delivery Schedule In order to be deemed technically acceptable the offeror will provide their own delivery schedule with the number of incremental shipments and corresponding Tungsten powder amounts, in pounds, similar to the one provided on page 1 of this RFP. Offerors can propose higher amounts and/or more frequent increments, but shall be able to meet the minimum requirements set forth in the RFP. The contractor may choose to use the same delivery schedule as provided in the solicitation, but must state this in their proposal. (4) Past Performance In order to be considered acceptable, the offeror will demonstrate past performance on recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items. "Recent" means within the last 24 months. "Relevant" is defined as work that can be determined to be reasonably comparable to the tungsten production under this RFP. The past performance information may be based on information such as the contracting officer's knowledge of the requirement, customer surveys, or other reasonable basis. Offerors that have no recent and relevant past performance history will be assigned a neutral past performance evaluation rating which equates to acceptable. An offeror's past performance may be considered unacceptable for either negative past performance or record of termination for cause/default. The offeror shall provide past performance information to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items/services and other references. Please submit on one page the following information: contract numbers and items sold; points of contact with telephone numbers; any other relevant contact information. Ratings for past performance will be defined as follows: a) "Acceptable" means that all past performance is rated as successful meeting basic contract requirements as described by the cognizant government rater. Also, offerors with no recent or relevant past performance will be assigned an "acceptable" rating. b) "Unacceptable" means that any past performance is rated negatively by the cognizant government rater, or that the offeror's past performance includes termination for cause/default. Proposals rated unacceptable in any of these four technical categories shall be deemed unacceptable overall. Price will be calculated as follows: (1) For CLINs 0001 and 0002, the evaluated price will be the unit price proposed multiplied by the maximum quantity. (2) The sum of both CLINs will represent the total evaluated contract price. (3) Offerors must provide the proposed unit price and extended prices for each CLIN. Offerors that provide incomplete pricing information or pricing information not in U.S. Dollars will be rated as unacceptable. Offerors shall submit a pricing schedule similar to the following: CLIN # CLIN Description Qty Range Price per lb 0001 Tungsten BLU-129 0-45,000lbs 0001 Tungsten BLU-129 45,000-54,000lbs 0001 Tungsten BLU-129 54,000-63,000lbs 0001 Tungsten BLU-129 63,000-72,000lbs 0001 Tungsten BLU-129 72,000-81,000lbs 0001 Tungsten BLU-129 81,000-90,000lbs 0002 Tungsten for FLM 0-5,000lbs This solicitation incorporates one or more clauses by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text.
