Subfactor 1: Experience The Offeror shall demonstrate relevant corporate experience related to the evaluation criteria. Relevant corporate experience is experience (within the last 5 years) that is of the same or similar scope and complexity to the work described, and is of the same or similar magnitude (i.e., performing services that, on an annual basis, are at least half the dollar value proposed by the Offeror to perform the requirements). To demonstrate its corporate experience, the Offeror shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years, and provide any other information the Offeror considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation. To the extent that the Offeror intends to subcontract significant portions of the effort, for each subcontractor the Offeror shall identify up to three (3) of the most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years and provide any other information the Offeror considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. �Significant�, in this case, means work efforts involving more than 4,000 man hours per annum. In evaluating subcontractor experience, the relevance of subcontractor experience will be determined based on the scope, complexity, and magnitude of the aspects of the work in the solicitation for which the subcontractor is proposed to perform. Therefore, the proposal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that each subcontractor is intended to perform. The Offeror shall also provide information as to where the subcontractor fits into their organizational chart. Subfactor 2: Key Personnel Key Personnel is to include narrative descriptions related to the evaluation criteria.

Demonstrate approach to meet technical requirements. Ability to provide labor/skill mix to meet functional/technical requirements. Part II - Past Performance Proposal The Offeror shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the past three (3) years that is of the same or similar scope, complexity, and magnitude to that which is described in the solicitation. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by Offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate Offeror past performance. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all the sources provided by the Offerors, it is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in the proposal. The burden of providing thorough and complete Past Performance information remains with the Offerors. Part III - Price Proposal Offerors shall submit the Price Proposal in the following format. Conformance with the requested format for a proposal demonstrates ability to follow directions and understand requirements. Price proposals shall consist of the following basic components: a. Fully completed bidding schedule b. Copies of legal documents outlining joint ventures or partnering arrangements if applicable. c. Annual amount per piece of equipment d. Other Direct Cost (ODC) Related Information - The Offeror may propose a maximum percentage to be applied to other direct costs. Price Proposal must also include: a.�������� Annual amount per piece of equipment. b.�������� Any other direct costs associated with performance. RELATIONSHIP OF ACCEPTED PROPOSAL CONTENT TO THE CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS. By submission of an offer pursuant to this solicitation, the Offeror agrees that the capability presented in the proposal becomes a contract requirement upon award of a contract. No changes, substitutions, or deviations from the accepted proposal may be made without the approval of the Contracting Officer. You, as the Offeror, agree that the explicit capability presented in your proposal shall be provided under this contract at the stated price. BASIS FOR AWARD It is the Government�s intent to award one contract resulting from this solicitation that will be firm fixed-price (FFP). Selection of a Contractor will be made by an integrated assessment of the proposals submitted and in light of the following criteria. The integrated assessment will involve a determination by the Government of the overall merit of each Offeror's proposal, recognizing that subjective judgment on the part of the Government evaluators are implicit in the entire process. Award will be made to the Offeror whom the Government determines able to accomplish the necessary work in a manner most advantageous to the Government. The evaluation of Technical and Past Performance will be accomplished without reference to price. A price analysis will be performed. All factors and significant sub-factors that will affect contract award are listed below: Part I � Technical Proposal Subfactor 1: Experience The Offeror�s corporate experience will be evaluated on the degree of relevance to the requirements on the basis of similarity in size, scope, complexity, contract type and period of performance. Only recent experience (within the last 5 years) will be evaluated. Experience that demonstrates a track record of accomplishing all preventative and repair services listed.�� Experience that demonstrates an ability to repair and maintain 100% equipment functionality at cost, including supplying parts, labor, travel and any other repair related costs. Experience that demonstrates an ability to respond in three (3) days or less, ensuring no significant negative consequences arise that comprise EPC�s ability to generate deliverables and support critical ERDC research projects. Experience that demonstrates a high level of in-house expertise for the majority of instruments listed, demonstrating capabilities currently lacking in EPC. Experience that demonstrates that if a maintenance or repair task is subcontracted, the subcontracted technicians are qualified and certified and the subcontracted technicians can maintain and repair the instruments within the cost limitations of the contract. Subfactor 2: Key Personnel Demonstrate that all in-house and subcontracted repair and service technicians are qualified and certified. �Demonstrate that all in-house and subcontracted repair and service technicians can operate without involvement of Government personnel. Demonstrate a Quality Control Plan. Subfactor 3: Technical Approach Demonstrated understanding of the requirements. Demonstrated approach to meet technical requirements. Ability to provide labor/skill mix to meet functional/technical requirements. Part II - Past Performance Proposal The evaluation of Past Performance is a subjective assessment of the Offeror's Past Performance on contracts of a similar nature, size, scope, and complexity, utilizing a comparable number of personnel with like skills. The Government will consider the Offeror's previous and current record of contractual performance. The Government will use data provided in the Offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources. The Offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the Offeror. Part III - Price Proposal Price Analysis will be accomplished in accordance with FAR 13 and will encompass the following: Rates: The purpose of the price analysis will be to ensure fair and reasonable price associated with proposed annual amount per piece of equipment. ODC Cost Rate: The purpose of this cost analysis is to insure a fair and reasonable rate to be applied to other direct costs. Evaluation Weights and Adjective Ratings Evaluation Weights: An award will be made based on the best value proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the non-price/cost factors. The Technical factor is significantly more important than the Past Performance factor and Price factor. Within the Technical factor, all subfactors are of equal importance. Past Performance is more important than Price. All of the non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. To be considered for award, the Offeror must be determined to be acceptable in all areas. A deficiency in any of the areas could constitute a basis for rejection of a proposal.
