Basis of Award: Evaluation factors. The Government will award a firm-fixed-price (FFP) purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter who provides the lowest acceptable quote that demonstrates understanding of the requirements and conformance with the solicitation. This acquisition is being conducted strictly under simplified procedures for commercial products and commercial services. The Government is not conducting a source selection, and procedures from RFO Part 15 do not apply. To efficiently identify the lowest acceptable quote, the Government may evaluate quotes by first ranking them from lowest to highest price. The Government will then evaluate the technical and past performance factors of the lowest-priced quote. If the lowest-priced quote is determined to be acceptable, the Government may evaluate no other quotes and proceed to award. Quotes failing to meet all the terms and conditions of this solicitation, including buy terms, line-item descriptions, and attachments, will not be evaluated for award. The Government reserves the right to seek clarifications on the contents of the quote if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer. Quotes will be evaluated with the following review criteria: (i) Technical: The degree to which the quoter's proposed service meets the Government's requirements. Merely stating 'will comply with all PWS requirements' is insufficient. The Technical Proposal will be evaluated qualitatively and assigned one of the following adjectival ratings: Technical Adjectival Rating Evaluation Definition Outstanding Proposal meets all requirements and demonstrates an exceptional clinical or management approach. Contains multiple strengths that significantly benefit J9 operations, contains no weaknesses, and the risk of unsuccessful performance is extremely low. Good Proposal meets all requirements and demonstrates a thoroughly solid clinical or management approach. Contains at least one or more strengths that benefit J9 operations, contains few minor weaknesses, and the risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate. Acceptable Proposal meets all requirements and demonstrates an adequate clinical and management approach. Contains no significant strengths, contains some minor weaknesses, and the risk of unsuccessful performance is moderate. Marginal Proposal fails to meet one or more minor PWS requirements, contains notable weaknesses, and has a high risk of unsuccessful performance. Deficiencies are significant but correctable. Unacceptable Proposal fails to meet major requirements, contains significant deficiencies, represents an unacceptably high risk of performance failure, and cannot be made acceptable without major, complete revisions. (ii) Past Performance: The Government will consider primary Government sources for past performance such as Supplier Performance Risk System, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and other sources. Absent past performance with Government, the Government will consider experience from the commercial market and/or experience as a subcontractor. Past performance shall be relevant to the type of work in the Performance Work Statement. The Government will evaluate the recency, relevancy, and quality of the past performance data to assign a Performance Confidence Rating as follows: Past Performance Rating Evaluation Definition Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror s recent and highly relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required clinical and administrative effort. Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror s recent and relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
