Evaluation / Award Detail: The Government intends to issue a single, three-year, firm-fixed priced (FFP) purchase order (PO) to the offeror representing the best value to the Government based on the evaluation factors listed below. Evaluation factors are listed in order of importance, with most important listed first. The Government will conduct a trade-off between price and non-price factors. The Government is not required to award to the lowest priced offeror or the offeror quoting the highest technically rated item. Evaluation Factors (in order of importance): 1.Technical. Offerors must provide literature, which demonstrates the capabilities of the quoted service(s). At a minimum the literature must demonstrate that the quote meets USU's requirements. The Government reserves the right to utilize technical (e.g. trade magazines) and customer reviews/references as part of the technical evaluation. 2.Corporate Experience. Offerors are required to provide a narrative of their corporate experience in maintaining the required units. 3.Price. Offerors must include all applicable costs, e.g. parts, labor, travel, etc., in the quote. The total quoted price for all components will be the evaluated price. Offerors must include their preferred method of payment (DFAS EFT or GPC Visa Card). USU prefers to make payment(s) using the Visa Government Purchase Card (GPC), unless it would incur additional service charges. The Federal Government prefers not to use third-party-payment merchants, e.g. PayPal, to exchange currencies. This is because these merchants can mask the actual merchant/vendor and impede the Government's effort to promote transparency. If these third-party-payment merchants must be used, offeror must include a compelling justification in the quote package. This will be considered as a part of the Price evaluation factor. 4.Past Performance. The Government may evaluate the offeror's present and past performance on similar tasks within the past three years. Offerors must provide two (2) customer references for similar work performed.
