L.3.4 In addition to the above information, the Government reserves the right as a clarification under FAR 15.306, to request additional or more detailed price breakdown data to support its determination of price reasonableness. SECTION-M EVALUATION: M.1 BASIS OF AWARD: The Government will award a single exchange contract to the responsible offeror that offers the Highest Total Evaluated Vehicle Exchange value under the Price factor and is assessed as Acceptable in the Technical Capability factor. The Government may make no contract award where it concludes that no proposal exists that can achieve program and contract terms and conditions at an acceptable vehicle exchange value. M.1.2 EVALUATION: The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 12.6 ( quote mark Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items quote mark ). There are two factors: (1) Price (total evaluated vehicle exchange value) and (2) Technical Capability. The Government intends to conduct a price evaluation, to include transportation costs, on all proposals. The Government will then conduct a technical capability review of the highest total evaluated exchange value proposal. If the highest total evaluated exchange value is determined to be technically unacceptable, then the Government will conduct a technical capability review on the next highest total evaluated exchange value proposal. Unless the Government determines it is in its best interest to conduct discussions, the Government will follow this process until the proposal with the highest total evaluated vehicle exchange value, which is determined to be technically acceptable, is identified. M.1.3 TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: For an offeror to be eligible for award, its proposal must be assessed as Acceptable under each section of the Technical Information Questionnaire (TIQ) (TABLE 1, Attachment 0002). Offerors found to be Unacceptable under any section of the TIQ will not be considered for award. To determine Acceptability, (1)the Offeror's response must clearly indicate it can meet each requirement on the TIQ; and (2)where supporting documentation is required (TIQ with supporting documents and basis of estimate rationale),, the Government will review the information submitted to confirm that the Offeror is capable of meeting the requirement. An Acceptable proposal is one which clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. An Unacceptable proposal is one which does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. M.1.4 Price Factor: M.1.4.1 The assessment of the reasonableness of the exchange value being offered will include consideration of the reasonableness of the proposed prices as follows: M.1.4.1.1 A price is considered reasonable if that price does not exceed what would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may make a determination of reasonableness using any of the price analysis techniques and procedures described in FAR Part 15.404-1, but reserve the right to utilize any data other than certified cost or pricing data submitted to the extent it is deemed necessary. The Government may reject a proposal which is not reasonable. M.1.4.1.2 The information submitted in response to Section L.3 will be evaluated to assess the reasonableness of the offeror's proposed quantity of J8 Light Patrol Vehicles it is offering in exchange for the Rubicons. M.1.4.1.3 The total evaluated vehicle exchange value will consist of the following: (a) The proposed quantity of J8 Light Patrol Vehicles offered on CLIN number 0001AA (as proposed on the Price Factor Spreadsheet, Table 1, Attachment 0004, quote mark Jeep Proposal quote mark Worksheet, Cell quote mark D20 quote mark ); (b) For evaluation purposes only, the Government will develop the transportation cost associated with shipping the J8 Light Patrol Vehicles from the Offeror's location (as identified as the place of inspection & acceptance) to the destination (Yemen). The transportation cost developed by the Government will then be divided by the Government's estimated value of a Modified Jeep J8 Light Patrol Vehicle to determine a vehicle equivalent. (c) The total evaluated vehicle exchange value will then be developed by subtracting the vehicle equivalent (as calculated in M.1.4.1.3(b)) from the proposed quantity of J8 Light Patrol Vehicles offered on CLIN 001AA (as referenced in M.1.4.1.3(a)). There is an example in spreadsheet 0004, which has arbitrary values and is for example only. M.1.5 DISCUSSIONS: In accordance with FAR clause 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical capability standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. In addition, the Government reserves the right, without entering discussions, to request additional information necessary to support the offeror's price in order to determine price reasonableness. Offers are due no later than 25 July 2014, 1600 local time Warren, MI. Quotations must be submitted electronically Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI). No phone calls will be accepted.
