Factor 1 Price: Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price for CLINs 0001 thru 0005.

A solution that meets the minimum specifications will be rated as "Acceptable". A solution that fails to meet the minimum specifications will be rated as "Unacceptable".
Factor 3 Past Performance: The Government may use various techniques to evaluate an offeror's recent/relevant past performance. These techniques include, but are not limited to, reviewing information in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), or other databases; or obtaining information from other sources available to the Government, such Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), interviews with Program Mangers, Contracting Officers, etc. For the purposes of this solicitation, recent and relevant past performance is defined as efforts occurring within the last 3 years from date of issuance of this solicitation, that are the same or similar (as compared to NAICS 561621) as the effort required by this RFQ.
Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaning past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Past Performance will be evaluated as either "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable". An "Acceptable" rating will be assigned to an offeror for which, based on their performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that they will be able to successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown (see note above).
