EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: It is the Government's intention to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to the offeror whose proposal is materially compliant and who is determined to represent the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The determination of best value will be made by comparing the differences in the value of the factors with the differences in the proposed price. Price may become the ultimate determining factor for award of the contract as quotations become more equal in terms of technical merits. The technical criteria (inclusive of experience and past performance), when combined, are approximately equal to cost/price. The evaluated price will be based on the probable cost to the Government (See FAR 15.404-1). Although this is a best value procurement, the Government will not make an award for a significantly higher cost/price to obtain only a minimum benefit regarding technical merit. a. Technical - (1) Offerors shall provide in sufficient detail a technical quote that demonstrates the offeror's experience in providing services similar in nature and scope to this requirement. In addition, the quote must meet or exceed each of the requirements identified in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). The PWS follows in this document. (2) Offerors must be actively registered with the CCR system prior to award per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.1102. Failure to be actively registered will result in disqualification from award consideration. Website is http://www.bpn.gov.

(3) A completed 52.212-3 (Mar 2005), Offeror Representations and Certifications/Commercial Items or certification that annual representations and certifications have been completed via the Online Representation and Certification Application (ORCA) via the ORCA website at www.bpn.gov. b. Past Performance - Offerors shall list at least three contracts of similar size and complexity held within the last three years.
