Evaluation Factors
Award will be based on a "best value" tradeoff source selection methodology. Proposals will be evaluated on:
- Technical Capability (Acceptable/Unacceptable): Assessing management of repair/refurbishment/replacement of AGE/SPV, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) management, and Turn Around Time (TAT) management.
- Past Performance: Considered approximately equal in importance to Cost/Price. Only efforts with an annual value between $2.1M and $7.9M and a period of performance between 1-2 years will be evaluated.
- Cost/Price: Considered approximately equal in importance to Past Performance, focusing on reasonableness, balance, and cost realism. The evaluation follows a gated process, starting with RFP compliance and technical acceptability, then proceeding to past performance and total proposed price for a limited competitive range. Offerors must have a Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score of 110 or greater.
Submission Requirements & Key Dates
Proposals must be submitted in four volumes: Completed RFP, Written Technical Proposal, Past Performance, and Cost/Price Proposal.
