(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: The specific criteria against which the competing proposals were evaluated consisted of the following Factors (in descending order of importance) Factor 1 - Technical Capability Factor 2 - Past Performance Factor 3 - Price C. EVALUATION APPROACH All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. 1. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABIILTY APPROACH Sub-factor A. Corporate Experience and Capability - The Government will assess the offerors experience with work of similar nature, scope, complexity, Past Performance and difficulty to that which will be performed under the prospective contract contemplated by this solicitation. Also describe secured and non-secured facilities (conference room, VTC, etc) that are available for use in the performance of the PWS. The Government will evaluate the offerors on-going and prior experience within the last three years on projects similar in size, scope, cost, and complexity to that described in the PWS. The objective of the evaluation is to: (1) Determine the degree to which the offeror has previously encountered and successfully satisfied requirements of like breadth, detail, and challenges that it may encounter under the prospective contract; and (2) Develop insight into the offerors demonstrated capabilities and its ability to meet the Governments stated requirement. (3) Assess the offerors understanding of the requirement for the support described in the PWS. Sub-factor B. Quality Control - The government will assess the offerors ability to develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure performance of services in accordance with this PWS. The offeror must show how it will develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. A thorough understanding that the offerors quality control program is the means by which the Offeror assures that the work complies with the requirement of the contract. 2. FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE APPROACH: The Past Performance Team evaluates past performance by assessing the Offerors recent performance on projects similar in scope to the PWS of the solicitation. When assessing performance risk, the Government will focus its inquiry on the Offerors past performance under existing and prior contracts over the past five (5) years as it relates to all solicitation requirements. Relevancy is defined as the scope, magnitude, complexity, and similarity of Offerors past performance as it relates to this acquisition. When an Offeror lacks institutional experience necessary to provide this information, the Offeror can use past performance of personnel proposed to perform this requirement. Offerors who have no history of past performance, or even whom past performance information is unavailable shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, the neutral rating will be used. When unfavorable relevant past performance information is received for any Offeror, the Government may disregard or discount that information if convincing evidence demonstrates that the performance problems identified were outside the control of the Offeror or due to excusable delays. The Government may use personal knowledge or information from other sources in its evaluation of an Offerors past performance, provided information is consistent with the established evaluation criteria of the RFP. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an Offerors likelihood of success in performing the solicitations requirements as indicated by that Offerors record of past performance. Performance Risk Factor Rating of Low Risk, Moderate Risk, High Risk or Unknown Risk will be assigned to the Past Performance Factor. Offerors that would be eliminated from the competitive range solely based on negative findings in past performance shall be given an opportunity to address such findings. Adverse Past Performance may result in an overall high-risk rating. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will be evaluated on past performance information regarding predecessor companies and key personnel who have experience relevant to the instant acquisition. In this case, an unknown risk factor will be given. The evaluation process will consider the following: (1) Quality of Product or Service (2) Timeliness of Performance (3) Business Relations (4) Management of Key Personnel (5) Compliance with Environmental, Safety, Health and Security Requirements It is incumbent upon the offerors to explain the relevance of data provided in the proposal. Offerors are responsible for completeness and accuracy of performance information obtained from other sources. 3. FACTOR 3 PRICE: The Offeror will be evaluated based on completeness, reasonableness and balance.
