The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1- Technical Performance: The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring their quote fully outlines the capability to adhere to the delivery deadline, quantities required, and specifications listed in the combined synopsis. Technical performance shall be found to be either acceptable or unacceptable based on the answers to the following questions: Can the vendor provide the items by the delivery date outlined in para. vii in the combined synopsis? Does the contractor have one central point of contact/company representative that will handle everything from project start to project completion handling all items from design, purchase order placement, delivery, install, and punchlist items? Will the contractor ensure all furniture is delivered when the installer is present to receive the furniture onsite? (The Government will not store any furniture onsite while waiting for installation). Did the contractor provide a drawing of each area receiving furniture? Did the vendor provide a 3D color rendering and product data that clearly describes the type of furniture being quoted for each area (one rendering for the top of line grade furniture and one rendering for mid-grade furniture for each area)? The Government will determine the vendor to be Technically Acceptable only if all answers to the above questions (2) are “Yes”. The final determination of whether an “or equal” will meet the needs of the Government lies with the Government. If the contractor does not submit a product data sheet, drawings, and renderings as required then the answer will automatically be “No.” Factor 2 – Past Performance: The government will evaluate past performance by reviewing the following: a.The Offeror shall provide up to three (3) relevant projects or contracts that include all of the following information: i.

Rating definitions are as follows: RATING DEFINITION Outstanding (O) Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many requirements that benefit the end user.

Good: Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some requirements that benefit the end user.

Unknown or Not Applicable (N/A) The question does not apply. No performance record identifiable within the area of evaluation. Any company that does not submit past performance information will receive a neutral rating. Factor 3 – Pricing: The government will evaluate all technically acceptable offerors’ prices. In terms of “price reasonableness”, the Government will focus on whether the price is too high or too low to be considered fair and reasonable.
