The Offeror who is determined to provide the lowest priced proposal that meets the acceptability standards for non-price factors will be awarded the contract.
The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low priced when compared to Government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.
The Government reserves the right to award based on initial proposals. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award the contract without discussions with the Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306).

a. Technical Approach: The Offeror's proposal shall demonstrate a thorough understanding of the requirements as defined in the Statement of Work (SOW) to provide commercial digital instrumentation in support of the Next Generation Automated Test System (NGATS). The proposal will be evaluated in terms of the contractor's ability to provide the exact items identified in the SOW, in the exact quantities identified in the SOW, and provide deliveries in the allotted period of performance. The Offeror shall provide the Government with a delivery schedule for the delivery of all items. The schedule shall indentify the entire period of performance of the contract broken down into monthly increments. The increments shall identify the number of deliverables for the months including hardware and associated documentation and shall include the number of instruments that shall be returned to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for credit and its ability to minimize negative impacts on the NGATS Mission.
Proposals will be evaluated to determine an Offeror's Understanding of the Requirements and Feasibility of Approach.
(1) Understanding the Requirements - The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which it demonstrates a clear and complete understanding of all requirements involved, including capabilities, knowledge and expertise as defined in the SOW.
(2) Feasibility of Approach - The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the Offeror's methods and approach to meeting the SOW requirements provide the Government with a high level of confidence of successful completion within the required schedule.
ADJECTIVAL DEFINITION
RATING
ACCEPTABLE Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
Factor 2 - Price
1. The Total Evaluated Price is the summed value of CLINs 0001, 0002, and 0003. This Total Evaluated Price will then be evaluated for reasonableness in accordance with price analysis techniques at FAR 15.404-1(b). Price will not be scored.
2. Adequate competition is anticipated for this contract. However, in the event that only one offer is received, the Government reserves the right to perform a cost analysis IAW FAR 15.404-1(c). Therefore, in instances when only one offer is received , the Contracting Officer shall obtain Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data. Offerors shall utilize a Microsoft Excel file format with formulas intact when submitting their Price/Cost quote (FAR 15.403-5(b)(1)).
3. Price/Cost Inconsistencies: A proposal is presumed to represent an Offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Each initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms for award for this contract. Any inconsistencies in performance or price should be explained in the proposal. Any significant inconsistencies, if unexplained, raise a fundamental issue of the Offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of work required and its financial ability to perform the contract, and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.
DETERMINATION OF RESPONSIBILITY:
As an element of determining the responsibility of Offerors, a Certificate of Competency may be required by the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 19.6.
A Pre-award Survey may be required by the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 9.106.
