San Antonio, TX 78240 (210) 694-6303 BASIS FOR AWARD This is a competitive best value selection in which competing offerors' past performance, technical acceptability and price will be evaluated to determine who represents the greatest benefit to the Government at a price that can be determined fair and reasonable. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement or inability to perform or provide all services requested shall result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: A. Following receipt of quotes, the Government will perform a comparative analysis of the services quoted. The Government will compare quotes to one another to select the service that best benefits the Government in fulfilling the requirement. The evaluation of Government requirements outlined in this Request for Quote will determine suitability. B. The Government will evaluate the offerors submitted recent and relevant past performance that is consistent with what is being requested in the Statement of Work. The Government may also utilize other sources of past performance if needed. C. For Technical acceptability, the Contractor shall attest as being able to provide fully trained, experienced, professionals who are able to perform all general duties, functions and activities as required within the Statement of Work. D. Prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Unreasonable prices may be grounds for eliminating an offeror from competition. E. For the purposes of the award of this requirement, the Government intends to evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows: The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price of all offers relative to each other will not affect the ranking of offers based on price, unless, after reviewing the offers, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8. F. For the purposes of the award of this requirement, the Government intends to evaluate the Option to Extend the Term of the Contract under FAR 52.217-9 as follows: The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). G. The Government intends to award one contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
