It is the policy of the Huntsville Engineering and Support Center to ensure all MATOC Awardees receive fair opportunity for competition of task orders in accordance with current regulation and guidance. A single task order award will be executed as a result of this RFP. The Government intends to award a task order without discussions based on initial proposal received; therefore, the proposal shall contain the Offeror’s best value from a price and non-price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. Your attention is called to FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Conflicts of Interest (OCI). Specifically, an actual or perceived unequal access to information, biased ground rules, or impaired objectivity OCI(s). Any offeror with an actual or perceived OCI is to submit a mitigation plan with the proposal responsive to this solicitation. Additionally, due to the requirement that the contractor make equipment, material, and parts purchases and the possibility that these may be available through the prime contractor or its subcontractors, a conflict of interest does exist as seen by the Contracting Officer. Neither the prime contractor nor its subcontractors may participate as an offeror, subcontractor, or consultant on any procurement of equipment, material, or parts conducted by the prime Contractor or its subcontractors under this task order. When applicable, a mitigation plan addressing this conflict of interest must be submitted as well. The OCI is a responsibility determination conducted by the Contracting Officer and not an evaluation factor. It shall be noted that offerors may reasonably expect the potential for the following changes on any subsequent task order contract: Delays in construction/renovation/alteration schedule. Reasonable increases or decreased in the number of equipment items to be purchased. This is strictly for the purpose of determining if potential changes are in or out of scope.

EVALUATION The Government intends to award a single task order contract to the contractor offering the best value to the government, including price and non-price factors. Technical factors are Schedule, Technical Solution and Key Personnel and Management Approach. Past Performance shall be evaluated as indicated below. Price shall be analyzed for a fair and reasonable price. The Government reserves the right to perform rigorous tradeoff analysis of the highest technically rated, higher priced proposal to analyze and determine whether the benefits of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional cost. EVALUATION FACTORS In accordance with FAR subpart 16.505, the factors are listed below. Schedule Technical Solution Key Personnel & Management Approach Past Performance Price PAST PERFORMANCE The Government will evaluate past performance IAW FAR 15.305(a)(2)(ii)-Past Performance Evaluation, in terms of relevancy to the performance work statement, quality of previous work provided, and ability to successfully maintain project schedules, dedication to cost containment, customer satisfaction, and compliance with contract requirements. This information may be obtained from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for contracts where the contractor has not yet completed the contract. Where a contractor has completed a contract, the Government will use the contractor’s performance on any relevant previous contracts to evaluate past performance, in addition to any information the Government may choose to obtain from CPARS. The Government reserves the right to use past performance information obtained from sources other than CPARS or earlier contract performance when evaluating past performance. The Government considers previous performance within the past 5 years of the date of the initial solicitation as recent. Submitted past performance that is not recent will not be evaluated. Projects need not be fully completed to submit for past performance experience. The Government considers previous performance that is similar in size, scope, and complexity as relevant. The contractor may submit up to two (2) PPQs as examples of recent and relevant past performance in the proposal and should include reference names and contact information. Past performance shall be rated in terms of relevance, risk, and level of confidence in the Offeror’s projected performance. The table* below illustrates how the relevancy of past performance will be evaluated. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance, the offeror may not be rated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. *See uploaded RFP Past Performance and Technical/Risk Tables document for Past Performance Relevancy Ratings table. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with the Offeror's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements and delivering high quality products and services as indicated by that Offeror's record of past performance. Further, the Government may base its judgment about the quality of an Offeror’s past performance on (1) records of objective measurements and subjective ratings of specified performance attributes, if available, and (2) statements of opinion about the quality of specific aspects of an Offeror’s performance, or about the quality of an Offeror’s overall performance. The table* below illustrates how past performance risk will be evaluated. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance, the offeror may not be rated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will be given a rating of Neutral. *See uploaded RFP Past Performance and Technical/Risk Tables document for Past Performance Risk Ratings table. The table* below illustrates how the level of confidence in the Offeror’s projected performance will be evaluated. In the case of an offeror without a record of past performance, the offeror may not be rated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. *See uploaded RFP Past Performanceand Technical/Risk Tables document for Past Performance Confidence Ratings table.

The technical solution will be evaluated on the overall methodology, the level of detail, and comprehensiveness provided in the proposal using the following combined technical/risk rating. The combined/technical risk rating reflects the degree to which the proposed approach meets or does not meet the minimum technical requirements through an assessment of strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, deficiencies, and risks of the proposal. No award will be made to a contractor whose proposal receives a final combined technical/risk rating of “Marginal” or “Unacceptable”.* *See uploaded RFP Past Performanceand Technical/Risk Tables document for Combined Technical/Risk Ratings table.
