The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers in the following relative order of importance: Technical capability Price Past Performance.� Technical and Past Performance when combined are significantly more important than price. Technical�-�Technical capability is evaluated as pass/fail: (1) The contractor must submit a copy of their firms� and subcontractor's Office of State Marshal (OSFM) issued Class ""C"" and ""D"" license. Additionally, offerors will be required to submit a copy of at least one employee's or subcontractor�s employee's OSFM issued Class ""C"" and Class ""D"" permit.

(2) The contractor must submit a Mission Essential Services Plan to include the required elements IAW DFARS provision 252.237-7004. Price�-�Following the technical evaluation, the Government will evaluate offers by adding the total price of CLIN�s for all options to the total price for the basic requirement in order to determine the total quoted price for each offer (Base + 4 option years + 6 month extension). In addition to determining the total quoted price, each offeror is requested to complete �Attachment 2 - RFQ Fire Bottle Services and Attachment 3 - Pricing Sheet�. Offerors will then be arranged according to price, from lowest priced offer to the highest priced offer. The Government may determine an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Past Performance�- Of the offers, having passed the technical evaluation, the government will begin evaluating past performance starting with the lowest priced offeror.� Evaluation of the offerors past performance is subjective and will result in a rating of (See table below) Substantial, Satisfactory, Neutral, Limited, or No Confidence.� Offerors who do not have recent and relevant past performance relating to this requirement will receive a rating of Neutral Confidence. Offerors with a Substantial or Satifactory Confidence rating will be ranked higher in past performance, regardless of price, than those with a Neutral Confidence rating. Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror�s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement. Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror�s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement. Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror�s performance record is so sparse, no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.� The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance. Limited Confidence Based on the offeror�s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement. No Confidence Based on the offeror�s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation the offeror will successfully perform the requirement. The Government will evaluate past performance for recency and relevancy.� Recency is defined as performance of similar services within the past three (3) years from the issue date of the solicitation.� Relevancy is defined as services of the same magnitude such as number of fire bottles and/or similar dollar value, and where the services provided include Office of State Marshal (OSFM) license, , performing preventive maintenance as described in the solicitation PWS, and repairs to extinguishers or extinguishing system parts. If the lowest priced offer, having passed the technical evaluation receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point; an award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. In the event the lowest priced offeror, having passed the technical evaluation does not receive a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the evaluation process will continue with the next lowest priced offeror until an offeror receives a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating or all offers are evaluated.� In the event an offeror other than then lowest priced offeror having passed the technical evaluation received a Substantial Performance Confidence Rating, the Contracting Officer will perform an integrated best value evaluation to determine the eventual awardee.� The Government reserves the right to award to a Substantial Performance Confidence Rated offeror, and reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced offeror.� The Government intends to award a contract without interchanges with respective offerors.
