If there is inadequate competition for award to a SDVOSB concern, award will be made competitively to an eligible Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) concern. If there is inadequate competition for award to a VOSB concern, award will be made competitively to an 8a or HubZone small business concern. If there is inadequate competition for award to an 8a or HubZone concern, award will be made competitively to a small business concern IAW FAR 19.5.. If there is inadequate competition for award to a small business concern, award will be made on the basis of full and open competition considering all responsive offers submitted by responsible business concerns. Adequate competition shall be deemed to exist if- "At least two competitive offers are received from qualified, responsible business concerns at the tier under consideration; and "Award will be made at fair market prices as determined in accordance with FAR 19.202-6. When there is inadequate competition at any tier, an otherwise competitive offer from a responsible business concern at that tier will be considered with the eligible offers for the next lower tier. For example, only one competitive offer is received from a SDVOSB business. That offer will be included with the offer(s) received from all VOSB businesses. If there is still inadequate competition, the offer from the SDVOSB business will then be included with SB offer(s) received; finally, if there is inadequate competition at the SB tier, the SDVOSB offer will be included with all responsive offers. Award will be made to the offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and past performance considered. Pricing will be firm fixed price for each line item identified. The offeror(s) with the lowest cost/price alone will not necessarily be awarded the contract. Basis for contract award: This is a competitive best value acquisition in which competing offerors' past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price considerations. By submission of its' offer, the offeror accedes to the terms and conditions of this solicitation, and all such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: Step 1: Initially, offers shall be ranked according to price. An Offerors quoted prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Schedule of Items by the quoted unit price for each Contract Line Item Number or Subcontract Line Item Number to confirm the extended amount for each. Technical factors are based on a pass/fail basis. Step 2: Using the no more than two references supplied by each interested contractor and the data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources, the contracting officer shall seek performance information on the lowest priced proposal. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the Offerors ability to perform the effort described in this Request for Quote (RFQ), based on the Offerors demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall risk rating of very good, satisfactory, neutral, marginal, or unsatisfactory. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "neutral," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. In evaluating past performance the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFQ. Step 3: If the lowest priced evaluated technically acceptable offer is judged to have a very good performance risk rating, then that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offer if that offeror is judged to have a performance risk rating of "satisfactory" or lower. In that event, the contracting officer shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision The Government will award a firm fixed price contract with a base plus four (4) option year contract resulting from this solicitation. The evaluation factors for award are technical capabilities, past performance and price with technical capabilities and past performance being evaluated as significantly more important than cost considerations.
