NIST will evaluate whether the offeror has demonstrated that its proposed equipment meets or exceeds all minimum requirements. Quotations that do not demonstrate the proposed equipment meets all requirements will not be considered further for award. If an offeror does not indicate whether its proposed equipment meets a certain minimum requirement, NIST will determine that it does not. Offerors that propose equipment that exceeds the stated minimum specifications will be rated higher under this factor. Preference will be given to offerors who exceed the minimum requirements set forth above, with particular weight given to Specifications 20 through 24 which specify the ability of the FTIR system to acquire spectral data a high speed with precise timing control. ii. Experience: The Government will evaluate the extent of the Offeror's experience providing similar equipment. The Government will give preference to Offerors who demonstrate they have experience delivering the same type equipment they are proposing for the current requirement. Offerors shall submit a list of at least two (2) similar systems supplied in the past five (5) years. Information shall include the model name/number, date of sale, end user name and end user contact information. iii. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the Offerors past performance information and, if appropriate, its proposed subcontractors' past performance to determine its relevance to the current requirement and the extent to which it demonstrates that the offeror has successfully completed relevant contracts in the past five years. In assessing the offerors past performance information, NIST will evaluate, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. Evaluation of this factor will be based on information contained in the technical portion of the quotation and information provided by references. The Government will evaluate past performance information by contacting appropriate references, including NIST references, if applicable. The Government may also consider other available information in evaluating the offerors past performance. The Government will assign a neutral rating if the offeror has no relevant past performance information. iv. Price: The Government will review proposed prices and price discounts for price fairness and reasonableness. EXPERIENCE AND PRICE SHALL NOT BE EVALUATED ON QUOTES THAT ARE DETERMINED TECHNICALLY UNACCEPTABLE UNDER THE TECHNICAL CAPABILITY EVALUATION FACTOR.
