This acquisition will utilize the Tradeoff source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.3 as supplemented by the DoD Source Selection Procedures, dated August 2022 to make an integrated assessment for a Tradeoff award decision. The Government intends to award up to four contracts as a result of this solicitation. In using the Tradeoff approach, the Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Government the greatest confidence that it will best meet or exceed the requirements affordably in a way that will be advantageous to the Government. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the technical superiority and/or superior past and present performance of the higher priced offeror outweighs the cost difference. The Best-value approach allows the Government to select factors other than price as a basis for award. Cultural resources services include highly specialized skills from an interdisciplinary team that require technical and managerial competency and performance experience not evident through price of services alone.
