Three paper sets of the proposal, an original so marked and two copies are required. PROPOSAL EVALUATION 1. Initial Evaluation of Proposals The Government reserves the right to make award without discussion based solely upon initial proposals. Therefore, offerors should ensure that their initial proposal constitutes their best offer in terms of both price and the technical/past performance/references/resumes. If required, the Contracting Officer may establish a competitive range comprised of the technically acceptable proposals. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition amongst the most highly rated proposals. Only those offerors in the competitive range will be offered an opportunity to participate further in the procurement. 2. Discussions/Final Proposal Revisions (if appropriate/necessary) The Contracting Officer will engage in discussions with all offerors in the competitive range in accordance with FAR 15.306. At the conclusion of the discussions, a final common cut-off date which allows a reasonable opportunity for submission of written final proposal revisions will be established. Those offerors selected to remain in the competitive range will be notified to submit Final Proposal Revisions. 3. Final Evaluation of Offers (if appropriate) A final proposal evaluation will be performed after receipt of Final Proposal Revisions. Past Performance Past Performance will be evaluated paying particular attention to: i) The relevance of the services provided to include staffing levels, labor categories, complexity, type of customer (Federal Government or private industry), and length of contract. ii) The offeror's ability to provide qualified staff in a timely manner. iii) The offeror's ability to maintain qualified staffing levels or provide replacements quickly as needed. iv) The offeror's ability to provide qualified staff which will successfully pass all required background investigations, to include stringent financial qualifications. References References which provide past performance questionaires may be contacted. The Government may also consider other information available, including personal knowledge. The dates of the prior performance and the relevance of the work performed shall be considered. Reference information will be used to assure best value to the Government. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates a proven track record, quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. Performance by the offeror and its subcontractor(s) as it relates to project requirements, including the quality of services, personnel management, effectiveness of cost management/control, timeliness of performance, customer satisfaction, and accurate invoicing will be evaluated. References other than those identified by the offeror may be contacted by the Government with the information received and used in the evaluation. Resumes Resumes will be evaluated paying particular attention to: i) Qualifications as required by the PWS and Federal Regulation. ii) Past and/or present obtained security clearances. Those offerors who can provide candidates which presently possess active clearances will be ranked higher. iii) Qualifications of proposed key personnel. Quality Control Plan The offeror's Quality Control Plan will be evaluated to determine if the document describes the anticipated inspection system for the requested services listed in the PWS. The plan must identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. Price The contractor will be selected upon a determination by the Agency that it is the best qualified to provide the services required by this procurement and that also meets the pricing constraints of the Agency. Before the offeror's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer) whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. Proposed loaded hourly rates shall be evaluated against market research, past similar requirements, and the Federal Government pay scale to determine realism and reasonableness.
