DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) requires a 12-month membership for information technology research, analysis and advisory services on the Information and Technology (I&T) industry to support the Chief Information Officer for DFAS (CIO) through website access and telephonic services as described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) (attached separately). Period of Performance: One-year base period and two option years. Conformance to SOW: You must provide the membership services in accordance with the PWS. Unless an exception is specifically noted within your quote, your quote will be considered to be in complete conformance to the solicited requirements. BASIS FOR AWARD : The Government will award to the responsible quoter whose quote is determined to be the "best value" to the Government, price and other factors considered. The factors that will be considered are Quality of Serivces Offered, Past Performance and Price. It is expected that trade-offs will exist between pricing and non-pricing factors and that vendors will be evaluated based on non-pricing factors and price. All evaluation factors, other than cost or price, when combined, are greater than price. As non-price factors become more equal, the evaluated price becomes more important. Prospective vendors are advised that a quote meeting the objectives and requirements with the lowest price may not necessarily be selected if award to a higher price vendor is determined to be the best value to the Government. Vendor's should address the following in their quote: QUALITY OF SERVICES OFFERED: The provided information should clearly demonstrate how well the services address proposed project needs. PAST PERFORMANCE: The provided information should clearly demonstrate or identify the following relevant past performance within the last three (3) years and the contractor's ability to provide information technology research, analysis and advisory services to Chief Information Officers and Information Technology managers. The information provided by the contractor should include research on the direction of the IT industry and include a focus on companies, products, markets, decision frameworks, tactical guidelines, case studies, implementations, and strategic planning assumptions, for cost reduction or improved IT capabilities. Preference will be given to quoters who have provided similar services at a DFAS Government installation or familiarity with Government finance and accounting operations. Nondisclosure of applicable past performance information, which may reflect poorly upon the Quoter's capability, will be considered accordingly. PRICE : A table has been included as a separate attachment titled Schedule of Items Table to assist with submission of pricing for your convenience. The provided information should clearly identify the price per year for type of subscription service for the base year and two option year periods. To permit a through and effective evaluation, the quote should be as concise, complete and clear as possible so as to permit the Government to make evaluation of the quote without further information being required from the quoter. The Government reserves the right to make a determination whether a quote is acceptable or unacceptable solely on the basis of the information submitted and proceed without requesting additional information. Therefore, each response should be submitted in the most favorable terms satisfying the RFQ requirement. Option(s), inclusive of any potential extensions in accordance with FAR 52.217-8, will be evaluated at time of award. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
