The contract will be awarded to the quoter with the lowest price technically acceptable offer based on the factors listed below. A rating of acceptable or unacceptable will be assigned to each non-priced factor. 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 shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Factor 1: Technical/Management Approach The evaluation process will consider whether the quote demonstrates a clear understanding of the technical features involved in meeting the requirements of the solicitation. Contractors shall provide: Provide/submit a detailed technical and management approach for completing all requirements of the PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS). This comprises of management and operation (safety procedures, etc.) to include start up time needed between notice of award and start of service. Capability to Perform - Offeror must demonstrate that it currently possesses or have the ability to obtain the personnel, equipment, standards, work processes, and general resources to accomplish the requirements of the Performance Work Statement. Experience: For each contract provided in response to this factor, the offeror shall explain in a detail narrative how the characteristic of the selected contract relates to the services required by this solicitation. Provide at least two (2) similar contracts undertaken within the past three years. Factor 2: Past Performance Past performance information will be utilized to determine the quality of the contractor s past performance as it relates to the probability of success of the required effort. 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 Performance Work Statement (PWS). Past performance information is one indicator of a quoter 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. Quoters may provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the quoter s corrective action. The Government shall consider this information as well as information obtained from any other sources when evaluating the quoter s past performance. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the quoters, it is incumbent upon the quoter to explain the relevance of the data provided. Quoters are reminded that the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources. Quoters with no relevant past performance or whom information is not available, shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but may be considered less favorably than a quoter with favorable performance history. Factor 3: Price Prices shall be submitted in accordance with the Price Schedule contained in the Solicitation. Total price will be evaluated by the Government. In evaluating the quoter s proposed price for this project, the Government concern includes determining price reasonableness. Reasonableness determinations will be made by determining if competition exists, by comparing proposed cost/price with established commercial prices, other contract vehicles, and/or by comparing proposed cost/price with the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The IGCE is not releasable to the public. For evaluation purposes the Government will evaluate quotes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base requirement. The government will evaluate prices for the option under FAR 52.217-8 by using the last year s option prices to calculate the price for six months of effort and adding that amount to the base and other option years to arrive at the total. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 4.0 TECHNICAL QUESTIONS Quoters should submit all technical questions regarding this solicitation to the Contract Specialist in writing, via email, to Serina Black at Serina.Black1@va.gov on or before Monday, December 18th, 2023, at 10:00AM EST.
