The following factor(s), which are equally weighted, shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price. BASIS FOR AWARD: A single award will be made to the lowest priced Offeror that has submitted a quotation that is determined to be technically acceptable by the Government. The Government will evaluate quotations for acceptability, without consideration of tradeoffs among cost and non-cost factors. The factors and standards establishing the requirements of acceptability that meets or exceeds the Government technical specification are as follows: Technical: The Government will evaluate Offeror's proposal to the extent the technical solution, to include the proposed products, meets the government requirements. The Government will evaluate the offeror's certification that their product is equivalent or higher in quality and completely compatible and interchangeable with Herman Miller Action Office Systems product. The Government will evaluate other relevant criteria, but NOT limited to: Ability to deliver the requirements when and where required; The proposed plan of approach and work schedule; Quality of proposal including any innovative concepts; Material swatches/samples and product literature/brochures; Any other criteria set out in the RFQ or otherwise reasonably considered relevant. Each Offeror quote will be evaluated on the technical capabilities/specifications/Salient Characteristics. The degree to which the Offeror's technical quote demonstrates to the Government evaluators that the Offeror can provide the requested components, services/performance and related items in the Statement of Work (SOW). These requested items are required to ensure cubicle workstation furnishings are consistent, compatible, and interchangeable with the other existing Herman Miller AO1 cubicle furnishing, without modification, in use throughout the entire three story building. This will provide a continuous uniform and professional work environment throughout the DeFlorez building. Past Performance: Past Performance of Offerors will be evaluated and determined to be acceptable when an overall satisfactory performance on similar contracts/projects completed within the past three years has been demonstrated. Price: Price will be evaluated but will not be given a rating. The Offeror's quotation will be evaluated to determine if prices for individual items are fair and reasonable. The sum total of all CLINs will be used to determine the bottom-line evaluated price costs to complete this effort. In evaluating the Price Factor, the Government will perform an evaluation to determine the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed prices in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 (b). The Government is seeking the offerors price that meets or exceeds all requirements outlined in the SOW. Acceptable: A quote is acceptable if it meets or exceeds minimum requirements in the solicitation. Unacceptable: A quote will be deemed unacceptable if it does NOT meet or exceeds minimum requirements in the solicitation. A lack of minimum content or failure to address all evaluated areas could render a quote unacceptable. The award will be made on the basis of initial quotations without discussions (although the right to conduct discussions, if necessary, is reserved). Offerors are therefore cautioned that each initial quotation should contain the Offeror's best terms. FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items.
