Paragraph (a) is hereby completed as follows: Evaluation will be based on the following; Evaluation factors listed are more important than price. Technical Approach and Capability. The offeror's approach to performing contract requirements and its capability to successfully perform the contract will be evaluated. Provide a detailed description of the company’s experience performing similar services. A contractor that has performed a site visit will be regarded with higher technical capability unless the contractor can provide a detailed technical approach write-up to perform this service with their quote for the Government to consider in place of a site visit. The technical approach write-up must not be a reiteration of the Statement of Work but how your company plans on performing the tasks i.e. performance checklists, anticipated number of janitors, anticipated hours at the facility and/or confirmation of supplies being provided, etc. Past Performance. The offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. The Government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the Offeror, the agency’s knowledge of contractor performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases, and will be based on responsiveness, quality, and customer services. Quote shall include at least two references for similar services including the contact name, phone number, full address, and e-mail address. Price The Government intends to award a trade-off, firm fixed-price purchase order on an all or none basis with payment terms of Net 30. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
