The combined synopsis/solicitation is prepared in accordance with the procedures in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

This synopsis/solicitation is conducted as a commercial item procurement using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13). An award, if any, will be made to the responsible offeror who submits a quote that (1) conforms to the requirements of the synopsis/solicitation; (2) that receives a rating of “Acceptable” on the Technical Capability evaluation factor; (3) that submits the proposal with the lowest total evaluated price (TEP), provided that the TEP is not unbalanced and is determined to be fair and reasonable and (4) has recent and relevant past performance information detailing the offerors ability to successfully perform the requirements of the Statement of Objectives. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions or to make no award at all depending upon (1) the quality of proposals received and (2) whether proposed prices are determined to be fair and reasonable. Evaluation Factors Technical - To be deemed Technically Acceptable, Offerors must provide a response clearly defining the offerors ability to meet all requirements and work requested within Attachment 1, Statement of Objectives.

Past Performance - The Contracting Office shall evaluate recent and relevant past performance information on the offeror’s ability to successfully perform the requirement based on 1) past performance data submitted by the contractor not to exceed 1 pages per contracted listed, and 2) data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. Relevant performance includes those contracts that showcase the offeror’s ability to perform requirements similar in scope to the requirements of Attachment 1, Statement of Objectives. Recent performance includes those contracts that were performed for any customer within the last three years from the issuance of this RFQ. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Neutral Confidence as defined below. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating “Unknown Confidence”, meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. For the sake of efficiency, the Government will begin the past performance evaluation with the lowest priced offer and proceed upward until a past performance rating of substantial confidence is found. At this point, Past Performance evaluations will cease and the Government will perform a best value trade-off. If the lowest priced offer also has a substantial confidence past performance rating, they will be determined to be the apparent best value and no best-value trade-offs with other higher priced offers will be conducted.
