(OCT 2014) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation and statement of work will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers and are listed in its order of importance: Evaluation Factors The evaluation will be based on the Attachment 1 Evaluation Criteria and the offeror's ability to achieve the scope requirements as outlined in the statement of work. Award will be made to the offeror's whose quote conforms to the RFQ and all specifications within the Statement of Work. Factor 1. Experience and Technical Competence in the type of work required The offeror's proposal will be evaluated for its quality and evidence of the extent to which the contractor demonstrates its knowledge and a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the requirement and the capability to perform the requirements outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). Factor 2. Past Performance The Government will evaluate each Offeror's past performance (minimum of 3 examples) and completion requirements of a similar size, scope, and complexity, as proven by the successful management of current and previous contracts of a similar magnitude, scope, and complexity. Factor 3. Price The offeror shall propose a firm-fixed price schedule for services, as outlined in the Statement of Work and Solicitation. To determine price reasonableness, the government will review price to ensure that offerors have a clear understanding of the work and skills required for project or contract performance. Price Quotations determined to be unrealistic in terms of technical commitment or unrealistically low in price will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the contract requirements and may be grounds for the rejection of the quotation. If a price quotation does not demonstrate price realism, it will be evaluated as unacceptable, and the offeror will not be considered for the award.
