BASIS FOR AWARD

In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to award one (1) Purchase Order to the offer who submits a responsive proposal that provides the best value to the Government using a trade-off process.

• “Best Value” The expected outcome of the acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement.
• “Tradeoff” The Government may accept other than the lowest priced proposal when the decision is consistent with the evaluation criteria, and the Government reasonably determines that the perceived benefits of a higher priced proposal warrants the increase in price.

The Government has established Technical and Price as the evaluation factors. The order of importance is as follows:

• Factor 1: Technical is more important than Price
• Factor 2: Price is not expected to be the controlling criterion in the selection, but price importance will increase as the differences between the evaluation results for the technical criterion decrease.

Proposals are intended to be evaluated and the award made without discussion, unless interchanges are determined necessary.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL

Quoters shall submit a technical capability statement/ brochure/ attachment of previously worked on contracts related to gage calibration. Based on the information provided, a rating of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” will be assigned as follows:

Acceptable: Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

FACTOR 2: PRICE

Quoters shall adhere to the instructions on the Government provided Pricing Matrix (Attachment 0005) and fully complete all required fields in the three (3) tabs. Failure to comply with any pricing instruction included in this solicitation may render the proposal ineligible for award.

The price proposed will be evaluated to determine reasonableness. In accordance with FAR 31.201-3, a price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
