Discussions, if any, will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.306 and final offers will be evaluated in the same manner and against the same criteria as were initial offers. ( c) Evaluation Factors for Award. Proposals submitted in response to the solicitation will be evaluated based upon the following factors: Price, Technical, and Past performance. The Mission Capability and Past Performance factors are equal in importance and when combined are less important than the Price factor. The evaluation factors that will be used in the review of proposals received in response to this RFP are as follows: 1. Technical: Technical Proposals shall included Contractors ability to meet qualification standards as conveyed in Management Approach. The Contractor shall provide evidence of past performance in the task areas identified in the Performance Work Statement that demonstrates qualification to perform this type of support. 2. Past Performance 3. Price **When combined, Technical/Management and Past Performance are slightly more important than Cost/Price.

Resumes: Contractors shall submit resumes for all proposed employees. Personnel qualifications shall (as a minimum) comply with contract requirements as conveyed in paragraph C.5. of the solicitation. GOOD - Proposal demonstrates a good understanding of the requirements and proposes an approach that somewhat exceeds minimum requirements. Has some exceptional strengths, with no major weaknesses. Has some weaknesses that should not impact successful contract performance with normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring. Good probability of success with low degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. ACCEPTABLE - Proposal demonstrates a general understanding of the requirements and an approach that meets minimum requirements. Proposal presents an acceptable solution, but has few strengths. Identified weaknesses may impact successful contract performance without special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring to minimize difficulties. Fair probability of success with moderate degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. MARGINAL - Proposal demonstrates a shallow understanding of the requirements and an approach that satifies most but not all of the Government's requirements, or in some instances, fails to provide sufficient detail to demonstrate the feasability of the proposed approach. Proposal has few strengths and major weaknesses that can cause some disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Weaknesses can be corrected through discussions, if discussions are conducted by the Contracting Officer. Offers an overall moderate to high degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Proposal may not be considered for award unless weaknesses are corrected through discussions, if discussions are conducted. UNACCEPTABLE - Proposal failed to meet the minimum PWS requirements necessary for acceptable performance. The overall proposal contains numerous weaknesses that cannot be corrected through discussions, without a major rewrite of the proposal. Offers an overall high degree of risk in meeting the Governments requirements. Proposal will not be considered for award. Low Risk - Based on the offeror's performance record and experience, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Moderate Risk - Based on the offeror's performance record and experience, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. High Risk - Based on the offeror's performance record and experience, substantial doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Unknown Little or no relevant performance record identifiable; equates to an unknown risk rating having no positive or negative evaluation significance. NOTE: A proposal receiving a high risk rating will NOT be eligible for award. 3. Price. Price will not be rated. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness IAW FAR 15.404-1. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal offers the best overall value to the Government, price and other factors considered. As part of price evaluation, the the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the prices for CLIN 0001, CLIN 1001 through CLIN 4004. Where the selection official finds the proposals as being essentially equal with respect to technical factors, price may become the determining factor in selecting the best value offer and making the award. 52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT. The Government anticipates to award a single Indefinite Quantity contract to a single offeror who presents the best value to the Government. (M.)
