EVALUATION PROCEDURES AND AWARD(b) Evaluation and award will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the quotes will undergo a comparative evaluation to determine which contractor provides the best value to the government in terms of technical capability, while also providing a competitive price.For quotes to be considered acceptable and eligible for evaluation, they must be prepared in accordance with and in compliance with the instructions given in this solicitation and address all the requirements set forth within this solicitation. The Government does not anticipate requesting revisions to quotes, so Quoter s should provide their best quote in the response to this solicitation. However, the Government reserves the right to request quote revisions that seek additional price discounts, provide revisions to the technical and or prices aspects of the quote, or to clarify aspects of the quote. In the event quote revisions are requested, the Government will not necessarily be seeking revisions from all Quoter s. The Government will not be conducting ""discussions"" as defined in FAR Part 15.(c) Prospective Contractors are required to submit two separate evaluation documents in addition to all other documents required by this solicitation. If the parts are not submitted as separate documents, the quote will be considered non-responsive. If both Parts are not received, the quote will be considered non-responsive, and will not be considered for award.One (1) Part A - Content of the Non-Price Factors/Technical Part. The Quoter shall provide a technical approach that details how the requirements of the SOW will be accomplished. At a minimum, this shall include the following:1. The intended strategy to complete all tasks as described in the SOW. A description of the company s technical ability to provide Integrated Pest Management Control services in accordance with the terms, conditions, specifications, and requirements of the solicitation and resulting contract. The narrative summary may describe the Contractor s capability, stability and strengths.2. An account of the Quoter s comparable experience, in terms of size, scope, and complexity to the tasks described in the Statement of Work. 3. Technical Acceptability will be based upon the conformance to the guidelines outlined in this solicitation. Quotes will be evaluated on a GO, NO-GO basis. The technical evaluation will evaluate the technical content received as required in the instructions section of this solicitation. This is a subjective evaluation that is based upon the Governments judgment as to whether the Quoter has satisfactorily addressed the technical content requirements as set forth within this solicitation.One (1) Part B Price and price related factors. 1. Price - The contractor shall provide a separate and complete price schedule as provided in the solicitation including all offered discounts.. See Section B3. 2. A Quoter s price quote will be evaluated for reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 13.106-3.(d) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).For the purposes of the award of this Contract, the Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows:The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all proposals relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of proposals based on price, unless, after reviewing the proposals, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.(e) The Quoter must be registered and active in the System for Award Management ( www.sam.gov). A SDVOSB Quoter must be a CVE certified SDVOSB (www.vip.vetbiz.gov). (f) NUMBER OF AWARDS This is a 100% Small Disabled Veteran Owned Business Set Aside.
