The Government will evaluate customer satisfaction, responsiveness to customer needs, and past demonstration of meeting delivery schedules and the delivery of quality services. Emphasis will be on recent, relevant past performance in the previous 3 years. Recent is defined as work performed within the last three years. Relevant is defined as work similar in size and scope of the work described in the Statement of Work (SOW). Past performance information is one indicator of an offeror's ability to perform the contract successfully. Current and relevant information, source of information, context of data, and general trends in Contractor's performance shall be considered as it pertains to the performance of work described in this solicitation. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the offeror's corrective action. The Government shall consider this information as well as information obtained from any other sources when evaluating the offeror's past performance. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources. Factor IV‐ Price Total price will be evaluated by the Government. In evaluating the offeror's quoted price for this project, the government concern includes determining whether: 1) Quoted price reflects a clear understanding of the requirements, and is consistent with the various elements of the offeror's quote. 2) Quoted price is reasonable in comparison with proposed prices received in response to the solicitation. 3) Quoted price is reasonable in comparison with prices with the independent Government cost estimate. The Government will evaluate quoted prices to determine whether prices are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the various elements of the offer. Unrealistically low or high quoted prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a quote from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has provided an unrealistic quote. 4. Award Basis: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Non‐price factors will be rated on an "Acceptable/Unacceptable" basis. Failure to meet any of the requirements will result in an "Unacceptable" rating and eliminate the offeror from further consideration for contract award. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
