The government will award a Firm Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation to a responsible vendor whose quote conforms to this solicitation and is considered most advantageous to the Government. Which quote is most advantageous to the Government will be determined based on the following evaluation factors: price, technical, and past performance. The technical factor will be evaluated based upon how well the offeror's quote addresses the requirements set forth in the PWS. The past performance factor will be evaluated based on a minimum of three performance references provided by the contractor, which will be checked by the VT-PFO-PC. References must be for provision of similar services and within the last three years.
All quotes will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror's methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the PWS. Quotes also will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable.
The quote should be structured using the pricing table attached as an attachment to the RFQ:
The contractor also may quote mandatory reporting of contractor labor hours for performance of services under this contract using the Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (CMRA) at www.ecmra.mil as a separate line item, with the unit of measure as "job."
All responsible sources may submit an offer which, if received in a timely manner, will be considered. Only such information as needed to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the proposal should be considered.
The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions. Therefore the offeror's initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to seek clarification or to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
This acquisition is subject to the clauses and provisions set forth in the attached FAR & DFARS Provisions and Clauses document. The clauses and provisions can be viewed at the Acquisition.gov Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) site at https://www.acquisition.gov/browse/index/far.
