EVALUATION FACTORS The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the contractor that offers the lowest price technically acceptable. For purposes of price analysis, each line item will be evaluated separately. Selection will be made on total price. Steps in the evaluation and award of this acquisition are as follows: 1. All offers found to be technically unacceptable shall be eliminated. Examples of reasons for being found unacceptable include but are not limited to: nonresponsive, debarred or suspended, prohibited source, or products which are submitted that fail to meet the requirements for satellite services. 2. Offerors of technically acceptable products and having low risk to moderate past performance ratings will be ranked by price. 3. Technically acceptable products will be evaluated on: 3A. The offeror's proposal shall demonstrate its understanding of the requirements listed in the Statement of Work (SOW), as well as its knowledge of the services to be provided. Best commercial practices to be used in performing the tasks under the solicitation shall be provided. The proposal shall contain the contractor's approach in performing the tasks at hand with accomplished personnel who will understand the requirements and possess the experience to successfully provide the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to provide for the installation and services for satellite-based service. Offerors should submit proposal describing equipment and/or services requested. Include the name of the technical representative and/or project manager for the equipment and installation along with their email contact information, telephone and facsimile numbers, Offeror shall submit the following: •· Price Lists (commercial and otherwise (i.e. GSA); •· Indicate if products that are sold commercially and indicate discounts from commercial pricing. •· Discounts provided to USSS. •· Offeror shall also indicate how pricing is comparable to pricing given to other government agencies. 4. Past Performance Past Performance will be evaluated in terms of relevancy and recent history. Relevance means references provided must relate to the same effort or similar one in both product and scale. Recent history means references provided on current or recently completed contracts within the past 3 years. Past performance will assess delivery and quality of product as it relates to probability of successful contract performance. Each performance risk assessment of the areas listed above will consider the number and severity of problems, the effectiveness of corrective actions taken and the overall work record. Problems not addressed by the offeror will be considered to still exist. However, the degree to which the offeror can demonstrate that it has successfully provided program support will be given a higher rating. Under this factor, the USSS will evaluate how well an offeror performed similar work with other government agencies or companies. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be an analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment of the evaluators after it considers all available, relevant and recent information. Contracting Officer reserves the right to use CPARS and PIPRS as part of the past performance review. Please provide Contact Name and email address for each reference being used, not providing this information for past performance the reference will be considered incomplete. 5. Price For evaluation purposes, the Total Evaluated Price will be the sum of all CLIN amounts. In addition, for evaluation purposes, adjustments the Government deems appropriate will be made to include Government costs required to accomplish the offeror's proposed approach with the exception of those costs to the Government that are equal across all offerors. The proposed unit prices and the Total Evaluated Price as previously defined will be evaluated for reasonableness. Also, each offeror's Price proposal will be evaluated to determine if it is consistent with the offeror's technical approach and reflects a clear understanding of the solicitation requirements. Inconsistencies between the Technical and Price proposals may be assessed as proposal risk under the Technical evaluation. V.
