EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS The government intends to award a single Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) type contract to the responsible vendor whose quotation, conforming to the RFQ, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotations: 1. Technical Criteria (Acceptable/Unacceptable) 2. Price A determination of responsibility will be made prior to award. The Government will conduct a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection. To determine LPTA, the Government will place all quotes in order of lowest total price to highest total price. Starting with the lowest total priced quote, the Government will review technical approach. If the quote is found to be “acceptable,” no other quotes will be reviewed and award will be made. However, if the quote is found to be “Unacceptable,” the next lowest total priced quote will be considered. This process will continue until either a quote is considered “Acceptable” or until all quotes have been considered “Unacceptable.” In order to be considered awardable, the vendor must have received an “Acceptable” rating in every non-priced factor/sub-factor. LPTA non-price factors/sub-factors for this requirement will consist of Technical. Tradeoffs will not be used during the source selection process. 1. Technical Acceptability – The technical submission will be evaluated on the Vendor’s demonstrated understanding of the RFQ and how its approach will successfully accomplish the requirements of the RFQ. The technical submission will be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable using the ratings and descriptions outlined in the table below. All Unacceptable technical submission will not be further evaluated. Each Vendor’s technical submission shall address the following: A. Copies of facility certifications in accordance with paragraph 4.2 of the PWS B. Statement that facility is within the required 70 mile radius C. Diagram of facility showing that lodging for military personnel are complete separate from foreign nationals in order to comply with Manual for Courts Martial Article 12. D. Ability to comply with all task outlines in section 4.0 of the PWS. In order to be considered Acceptable, vendors must receive an Acceptable rating for the technical submission in its entirety. The vendor must address each of the areas in sufficient detail so that the Government can reasonably determine that the vendor possesses the requisite ability to perform the contract. Such detail should take the form of an explanation of the vendor’s structure and processes that reflect its capabilities. Quotes that simply reiterate the requirements and state that they possess the capability to perform will be considered Unacceptable. The Government will evaluate each vendor’s Technical Approach based on the information received in the vendor’s written quote. The Government will evaluate each vendor’s technical submission in accordance with the ratings table below: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Submission clearly meets the minimum performance and capability requirements of the RFQ Unacceptable Submission does not clearly meet the minimum performance and capability requirements of the RFQ 2. Price – The vendor’s price submission shall include a complete and signed solicitation form, and if applicable, an executed copy of amendments. The government will evaluate pricing information submitted in accordance with the RFQ’s by comparing it to other vendor’s prices or by using any other price comparison techniques deemed to be in the government’s best interest by the Contracting Officer. Price will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer to determine fairness and reasonableness through the most appropriate method available pursuant to FAR Subpart 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. Price analysis will be used to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the LPTA quote.
