Award Criteria: Quotations that do not respond to all requirements in the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation, deliberation, or discussion.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (a) Quotations that do not respond to all requirements in the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation, deliberation, or discussion. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government and whose quote is the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

The quote with the lowest evaluated price will be evaluated for technical acceptability and acceptable past performance. Only if that quote is found to be technically unacceptable or to have unacceptable past performance will the evaluation proceed to the quote with the next lowest evaluated price. This process will continue until the lowest priced technically acceptable quote, with acceptable past performance, is found.

The quotation shall be prepared in such a manner as to enable the Government reviewers to make a thorough evaluation and arrive at a sound determination of whether the quotation satisfies the Statement of Work (SOW). For this solicitation, the evaluation factors are:

1. TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH (non-price): The quoter must provide a brief (no more than 2 pages) written submission addressing how the quoter will meet all requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW). The submission should outline the capabilities and methodology to provide the services as required.

2. PAST PERFORMANCE (non-price) Offerors will be evaluated on their recent (within the past 3 years) performance of relevant work as described in the SOW. Offerors should provide at least two (2) references for the same or similar work performed for Federal, State, and local government and private clients, to include dollar value, dates, contract # (if applicable) and point of contact.

3. PRICE A comparison of quote pricing received in response to the RFQ will be made and quote pricing will also be compared against the Government’s Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCE) to determine fair and reasonable pricing for the 12-month period of performance and two 12-month option periods. The government intends to make an award on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis. Quoters must provide pricing using the attached pricing template. Pricing template must be submitted in Excel format and not in PDF or scanned versions. Provided unit pricing shall be fully burdened.
