This award will result in a Cost-Plus- Award-Fee type contract for a base year with four option years. Selection of a contractor will be made by an integrated assessment of the proposals submitted. The integrated assessment will involve a determination by the Government of the overall merit of each offeror's proposal. All offeror's proposals will be evaluated for technical and management quality and quantity and assigned a numerical score. The evaluation of technical and management capabilities will be accomplished without reference to cost. The management capability of the offeror will have the greatest weight in the evaluation. Cost proposals will not be scored, but will be evaluated for reasonableness by cost/price analysis. The total estimated contract cost will be considered as an independent element from the technical and management evaluations. Cost proposals will be reviewed for completeness, credibility, and compatibility with the proposed technical and management capability. Award will be made to the highest evaluated offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and has been evaluated as most advantageous to the Government considering all factors including technical and management capability and cost.
