4.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

4.1. Evaluation Methodology: Evaluation Methodology: This acquisition will be conducted using streamlined procedures for commercial services in accordance with RFO Part 12. For this procurement, Best Value determination will be made based on the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote.  The Government intends to establish a maximum of three (3) Multiple Award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) from this RFQ to the responsible offeror (IAW RFO 9.103(a) and 9.104-1) whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government. In accordance with the broad discretion authorized by RFO 12.203(c)(2) for the evaluation of commercial quotations, the Government will not utilize formal source selection procedures or conduct a formal tradeoff process. Please note, the Government intends to evaluate offers and award without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

4.2. Evaluation Factors: The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Acceptability, Price, and Past Performance of the services offered to meet the Government's requirement.  

Factor 1- Technical Acceptability (Pass/Fail): The Government will evaluate quotes on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. To be determined technically acceptable, the quoter must provide all requested documentation demonstrating compliance with all mandatory regulatory requirements outlined in the Statement of Work and herein.  Factor 2- Price: The Government will evaluate the submitted price lists to determine if the proposed pricing is fair, reasonable, and balanced. Factor 3-  Past Performance: The Government will assess Past Performance on a pass/fail basis, based on FAPIIS exclusions, CPARS ratings (if available), SPRS scores, and other valid historical data obtained by the government. 

4.3. Selection Process and BPA Establishment: The Government will first evaluate all quotes for technical acceptability. Quotes deemed technically unacceptable will not be considered further. In the event that more than three (3) quotes are determined to be Technically Acceptable (Pass), the Government will use price as the determining factor for selection. The Contracting Officer will establish BPAs with the three (3) technically acceptable quoters offering the lowest total evaluated price, provided their pricing are 1) fully burdened rates, 2) determined to be fair and reasonable, and 3) the vendors are deemed responsible in accordance with RFO Part 9.
