The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet the listed requirements.

Technical Proposal: Describe how the offeror will provide officer furniture as described in the Statement of Work. EVALUATION FACTORS The Government will use Simplified Acquisition Procedures to evaluate proposals submitted in response to the solicitation. The factors that shall be used to evaluate proposals are Technical and Price, as expounded below. Evaluation will be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. FACTOR 1 - Technical: Pursuant to evaluation of all requirements, the Technical factor will receive an overall rating of either "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" using the rating and descriptions in the table below: Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. In determining whether a technical proposal is Acceptable or Unacceptable, the Government will consider the extent to which the technical proposal demonstrates the offeror's ability to meet all of the factors as outlined in the Statement of Work (Attachment 1): FACTOR 2 - Price: Price proposals will be evaluated to determine if unit prices are fair and reasonable using the techniques described in FAR 13.106-3(a). Evaluation Process: (a) The Government will initiate concurrent evaluation of all evaluation factors on all proposals. The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of a proposal including whether any proposal deficiency can be rectified and whether any uncertainty can be resolved. The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. (b) If, pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable", or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, and in the Government's judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable, the Contracting Officer (CO) may open discussions and may continue discussions as long as, in the Government's judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable. (c) For the purpose of conducting discussions, if the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable", or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, the entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable." At the conclusion of discussions, if the Technical factor is rated "Unacceptable", or if any deficiency or uncertainty relative to the proposal has not been resolved, evaluation of that proposal will be considered final. The entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable" and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award. (d) For the purpose of award without discussions, if pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable", or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, notwithstanding that any deficiency may be rectifiable or any uncertainty may be resolvable, the entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable," the initial evaluation will be the final evaluation, and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award. Unless the Government has received a prior written notice that an offeror has withdrawn its proposal, the Government may accept the proposal in whole or in part before the proposal's expiration date.
