The following technical factors shall be used to evaluate offers and are listed in descending order of importance. Factor 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE or EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS - Demonstrated access to a World and U.S. national database of multichannel seismic reflection data with coverage in a majority of the major petroleum producing basins in the lower 48 states and Alaska.

(b)A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer'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. PROPOSAL PREPARATION The vendor is cautioned to study the Evaluation Factors stated above along with their relative importance. Your proposal package must address each of these factors since these are the standards against which your proposal shall be evaluated. It is the vendor's responsibility to include the appropriate documentation may result in the rejection of the vendor's quotation. Any licensing agreements that are proposed to be applicable for the purchase of data under this procurement shall be provided with the proposal. AWARD The award of this requirement shall be made using only the procedures found in Part 13.1 -Procedures- of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). Award shall be made to that vendor whose proposal, conforming to this RFP, is determined to be most advantageous to the government, cost or price and the other non-cost or non-price factors listed above. In determining which proposal offers the greatest value or advantage to the Government, overall technical merit will be significantly more important than evaluated price or cost. Price or cost will become the determining factor between proposals judged to be essentially equal in technical merit. The Government may award a single or multiple contracts as a result of the evaluation of proposals. The Government anticipates multiple awards may be made as a result of this solicitation.
