Period of performance will be date of award with assessments and reports completed in 90 days. All proposals must be submitted by July 17, 2025. Facsimile proposals will not be allowed. Emailed proposals are allowed and must be submitted to Erin.Doering@ihs.gov.

No original copy is required to be submitted. Any questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing by 5:00 pm CDT on June 25, 2025 to the contract specialist. This award selection will be conducted using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures. To be eligible for award, a proposal must meet all technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and include all information required.

All non-price evaluation factors must be rated at "ACCEPTABLE" in order to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating in any factor will result in the proposal being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" unless corrected through discussions. A proposal rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a proposal ineligible for award. Since the LPTA methodology prohibits trade-offs, all evaluation factors and sub-factors are equally important. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non- price factors.

A price evaluation will be performed for all offerors and proposals will be ranked from lowest to highest price based on the Total Proposed Price (TPP) provided by the offeror on the price schedule sheet. Next, an evaluation of each factor and, subsequently, the overall proposal will be performed beginning with the lowest priced proposal. Award will be made to the lowest evaluated priced proposal meeting the acceptability standards for the non-price factors.

The Government intends to award a contract without conducting discussions; therefore, the initial proposal shall conform to the solicitation requirements and should contain the best offer from a technical and price perspective.

Note: A price that is found to be either unreasonable high or unrealistically low in relation to the proposed work may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in the overall proposal being considered unacceptable. INTENT TO AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors.

Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made.

If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. However, The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.
