Provision for Evaluation Award will be made to the responsible contractor (see FAR Part 9) whose quote meets the technical requirements and represents the best value on an "all or nothing" basis. In accordance with FAR Subpart 13.106-2, the Government will evaluate the following in order of importance: Technical Acceptability - most important; Past Performance - important but not equal to technical acceptability; and Price - least important. In order to be deemed technically acceptable, the contractor must provide the required technical documentation which also address the PWS requirements. The offeror shall provide references for similar services performed, to include contract number, and point of contact information. In order to evaluate price, a random event scenario will be generated for a random number of children at random ages but similar to the expected size of an event. The price for the random event will then be calculated based on the price schedule quoted and evaluated. Award will be made to the contractor who meets the technical documentation requirements, has acceptable past performance and then lowest price. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make award without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms from a price standpoint. Do not assume you will have the opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise your quote/offer. Offerors may, at the discretion of the Government, be asked to provide more information and clarification regarding their quote. Request for such information does not constitute discussions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Government intends to make a single, Firm-Fixed Price award. Any response to this synopsis/solicitation will be considered a "quotation". This announcement is the solicitation which will result in a firm fixed-price contract.
