The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offeror whose proposal represents the greatest value to the Government in terms of quality and price. Quality, for this requirement, is expressed as technical capability which must be demonstrated in each offeror's technical proposal. Technical considerations, while of greater importance than price considerations, does not preclude the offered price from being considered fair and reasonable to be eligible for award. Proposal shall be submitted into cost proposals and technical proposals. Technical proposals shall include any information the offerer wishes considered necessary to determine the relative merits of their proposal, with the informationsubsectioned behind the appropriate evaluation factors, as per the technical evaluation factors listed below. Any information that is not located behind the appropriate tab may not be considered. Information shall be provided such that it is clearly indicated as to what factor or factors the information applies. Offers shall be evaluated in a three (3) stage process. The first stage shall be binary (acceptable/ unacceptable). In accordance with FAR 52.212-4 the following evaluation factors apply: FACTOR 1: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. The offeror has successfully demonstrated compliance with all of the minimum performance and/or design requirements contained in the solicitation. This factor will be evaluated on a ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE basis. An offeror may be rated UNACCEPTABLE AS SUBMITTED if the proposal has not demonstrated compliance with all minimum requirements but has the potential to do so if amended during discussions. Offerors are cautioned that the Government intends to award without discussions, so proposals deemed UNACCEPTABLE AS SUBMITTED may not be considered for award. Proposals deemed UNACCEPTABLE will not be evaluated in Factors 2 and 3. FACTOR 2: TECHNICAL RISK ASSESSMENT. The extent to which the offeror's proposal reflects acceptable technical risk for the government will be evaluated in this factor. Technical risk considerations are those characteristics of the equipment that permit safe and effective use in the designated environment. They are design features, human factors, and ease of maintainability. Human factors engineering is the application of knowledge about human capabilities and limitations to system or equipment design and development. Compatibility and interoperability with the patient monitoring system and the anesthesia machine at Naval School of Health Sciences, San Diego, CA is considered an enhanced technical risk capability. Technical proposals must include sufficiently detailed information to enable evaluation based on the three (3) factors listed in order of decreasing priority: Design Features, Human Factors, Maintainability. FACTOR 3: PERFORMANCE RISK ASSESSMENT. The extent to which the offeror's proposal reflects an appropriate apportionment of performance risk will be evaluated in this factor. Performance risk considerations are defined as those characteristics of the offeror that give indication of the likelihood of the offeror's successful performance of the current requirement. They are proposed delivery schedule, record of on-time delivery for same class product, quality of workmanship displayed in same class delivered product, reliability of same class delivered product, business relations exhibited during previous contracts, range and depth of support provided for same class delivered product.
