III. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD (a) The Government will award a contract to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: (1) Technical: The technical factor provides an assessment of the offeror’s capability to satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. The technical factors will receive one of the adjectival ratings defined below: TECHNICAL ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE RATINGS Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. In order to receive an acceptable rating, the technical factor submissions must include sufficient information to determine acceptability when compared to the technical specifications required. (2) Past Performance: The past performance factor will receive one of the ratings defined below: PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATINGS RATING RATING DESCRIPTION Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Evaluation of past performance may be obtained from established systems such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and/or Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). The past performance information will be reviewed to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. Note: In the case of a prospective quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” (3) Price: Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3(a). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete and balanced. (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 a quote 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 quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after. IV. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with the prospective quoter. However, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to enter into discussions if necessary. In order for the government to make a fair and reasonable price determination, additional market research may be conducted. The government may request the quoter to submit any available pricing data and/or relevant sales or invoice history to further substantiate the price reasonableness of the quote provided. V.
