If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and (2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(4) The Government shall evaluate proposals and may award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)).

A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. (9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk. 2.

E. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD 1. GENERAL The evaluation factors for this RFP include technical, the vendor's previous work experience, and key personnel, and cost/price factors. Although technical factors are of paramount consideration in the award of a contract(s), cost/price is also important to the overall award decision. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. Vendors are advised that award(s) will be made to the source(s) whose quote provides the best overall value to the Government. Proposals which merely offer to conduct the work in accordance with the requirements of the Government's scope of work will not be eligible for award. The vendor should submit an explanation of the proposed technical approach in conjunction with the tasks to be performed in achieving the project objectives. Evaluation of the technical portion of proposals will be conducted by a technical review committee or a member of the Government's technical staff in accordance with the weighted technical evaluation criteria stated in EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR VOLUME I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL below. This evaluation produces a numerical score (points). 2. EVALUATION OF OPTIONS It is anticipated that any contract(s) awarded from this RFP will contain option provision(s) and period(s). In accordance with FAR Clause 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (July 1990), the Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement, except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 4. TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA The following technical evaluation criteria will be used by the Government when reviewing the technical portion of the proposal. The criteria below are listed in the order of relative importance with weights assigned for evaluation purposes. Review of responses will be conducted by a technical review committee or a member of the Government's technical staff. The technical proposal should be as complete and specific as possible. The technical merits of each proposal will be carefully evaluated in terms of the requirements and in relation to the criteria listed below: 5. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR VOLUME II - THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL Cost is evaluated separately. All evaluation factors other than cost, when combined, are significantly more important than cost.Cost will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Since the evaluation of cost will represent a portion of the total evaluation, it is possible that an Vendor might not be selected for award because of unreasonable, unrealistic, incomplete, inaccurate, or noncurrent cost proposal information. Each Vendor's cost information will be evaluated for realism, completeness, and reasonableness to determine the Vendor's understanding of the work and ability to perform the contract. Realism is evaluated by assessing the compatibility of proposed costs with the technical/management/qualifications of the personnel. Completeness is evaluated by assessing the level of detail the Vendor provides for all requirements. Reasonableness is evaluated by assessing the acceptability of the Vendor's methodology used in developing the cost. The existence of adequate cost competition may support a determination of reasonableness. This includes both original submissions and final proposal revisions (if requested). 6. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR VOLUME I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL Criterion Weight A. Past Performance 80 points B. Technical/Creative Approach, Philosophy and Methodology 20 points TOTAL POSSIBLE POINTS 100 points Past Performance- 80 Points Offerors should provide a resume or CV documenting Past Performance as it relates to the statement of work including sufficient detail for evaluation. References are required. Supplemental narrative would also be accepted. Past Performance will be evaluated on performance under existing and prior employers/contracts/subcontracts for work similar in nature and complexity to the National Library of Medicine's requirement and the ability of the Offeror to complete the requirement in accordance with the Library's technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Evaluation will be on the Offeror's: • Quality and relevance of products and services to this requirement • Demonstration of successful project outcomes with stakeholder, customer, and participant satisfaction Technical Capability- 20 Points Offerors should provide a narrative in sufficient detail for evaluation addressing Technical Capability. The narrative will be evaluated for clarity of its articulation, and relevance and appropriateness to the performance work of comparable scope, content, and complexity to the Library's previous projects. Other factors include: • Knowledge of museum registration and practices including contracts, databases, management of documentation • Knowledge and experience with museum exhibition development and installation • Knowledge and experience in visitor and customer service F.
