R -- VARIOUS TECHNICAL SERVICES/BIOLOGICAL/DATA MANAGEMENT SOL 52WCNF606016AP DUE 121195 POC Ann B. Piette, (816) 426-6823 ext. 229 The requirement to obtain various types of technical services which will support activities of the DOC/NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Mississippi Laboratories, Pascagoula, MS, originally published in Issue PSA #1412 dated 8/17/95, is changed to delete the stated evaluation criteria in its entirety. The revised evaluation criteria is as follows: ''The aggregate total of all the following technical evaluation factors, subfactors, and sub- subfactors is significantly more important than cost. In descending order of importance Technical Excellence (TE) is twice as important as Recruitment and Retention Capabilities (RRC), Management Capabilities (MC), and Past Performance (PP), which are equal in importance. Within TE in descending order of importance are three subfactors: Personnel Qualifications, Understanding of Work, and Sample Task Orders. Of these three subfactors, the first subfactor is somewhat more important than the other two, and the second subfactor is slightly more important than the third. Within the Personnel Qualification subfactor, the three sub-subfactors are: Amount/Currency of Experience; Education Level; and Offeror's Training Plan. Of these three sub-subfactors, the first two are of equal importance and together are significantly more important than the third sub- subfactor. Within the Understanding of Work subfactor, there are two sub-subfactors: Qualified Personnel Aligned with Tasks, is slightly more important than, Technical Approach. Within the Sample Task Orders subfactor, with substantially the same importance are three sub-subfactors: Demonstrated Understanding of the Work; Soundness of the Technical Approach; and Proposed Personnel. Within the RRC factor are two subfactors of equal importance: Recruitment Capability and Retention Potential. Within the MC factor, the four subfactors are: Offeror's Proposed Supervisory Plan (including Project Management Plan); Offeror's Proposed Organization; Proof of Insurance; and Quality Control Plan. Of these subfactors, the first factor is somewhat more important than the other thee subfactors. The second subfactor is slightly more important than the third and fourth subfactors, which are of equal importance. Within the PP factor, the four subfactors listed in descending order of equal importance are: How well the Offeror performed in carrying out contract responsibilities. The Offeror's effort to meet required needs and provide timely deliverables. The Offeror's general quality of work. Lastly, the Offeror's flexibility in making changes required by modifications to the contract and/or work effort. Total price will be evaluated using cost and price analysis techniques. In selecting the best overall proposal, the Government will consider the value of each proposal in terms of the quality offered for the estimated cost. The importance of the cost factor in the selection will increase as the quality differences between proposals decrease. The total price of each Sample Task Order will be evaluated as stated above for price realism.'' Anticipated delivery is approximately 3/25/96. The solicitation will be issued on or about 11/9/95. All other information in the original notice published 8/17/95 remains unchanged. Firms who have already responded to the original notice will receive a copy of the solicitation when it is issued and need not reapply. (0299)
