The Government intends to award a single contract to a qualified Small Business Offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose quote conforms to all solicitation requirements and is judged to represent the Best Value to the Government in accordance with the evaluation scheme set out in this solicitation. The award will be made based on the lowest price, technically acceptable offer IAW FAR 15.101-2. Best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors: Responsiveness, Technical, and Price. 2 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The evaluation factors are (1) Responsiveness, (2) Technical and (3) Price. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Contracting Officer will integrate the evaluation of Responsiveness, Technical and Price as set out in the solicitation. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and subfactors is to determine the acceptability of the response. The quote will be evaluated to determine whether each requirement has been addressed in the quote in order to meet the acceptability standards described in the solicitation. (a) Responsive Offerors. Initially, the government shall evaluate the quote on a pass/fail basis. The quotes shall be evaluated on whether offerors have submitted a complete package to include: Technical Documentation: Provide a detailed staffing plan to clearly explain how your company will manage and perform the service in accordance with Attachment 2- Performance Work Statement Provide Outage and Restoration Plan in accordance with Attachment 2- Performance Work Statement Provide a Phase in plan to appropriately reflect how the offeror will meet the phase in period to port 2,000 lines within 90 days of award in accordance with Attachment 2 Performance Work Statement. RESPONSIVE OFFEROR RATING Rating Description PASS Offeror has returned a complete proposal package. FAIL Offeror has NOT returned a complete proposal package. (b) Technical Evaluation. Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis utilizing the product specifications provided to the Government. To be determined Technically Acceptable, the offerors quoted product must meet all required characteristics. An offeror shall obtain an “Acceptable” rating to continue further in the competition. Offerors who are deemed to merit an “Unacceptable” rating in the Technical Capability Factor will be removed from further consideration for award. Once the minimum requirements are established, the team shall evaluate the offeror's quote against these requirements to determine whether the quote is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined herein. Quotes are evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using the non-price factors/subfactors. In order to be considered awardable, there must be an "acceptable" rating in every non-price factor/subfactor. (c) Price. The total quoted price from offerors determined both responsive and technically acceptable will be evaluated and award will be made to the lowest evaluated price.
