Evaluation & Submission
Proposals will be evaluated using a tradeoff process, considering both price and non-cost/price factors. Non-cost/price factors include:
- Corporate Experience (Factor 1): Significant revisions in Amendment 0005 introduce alternative pathways for demonstrating relevant experience, particularly for Category A (Weapons Magazines) and Category C (Demolition).
- Management Approach and Schedule (Factor 2)
- Safety (Factor 3)
- Past Performance (Factor 4): PPQs from prior solicitations are acceptable.
- Small Business Utilization and Participation (Factor 5): A minimum total small business subcontracting requirement of 20% is noted. Offerors must use updated Attachments F and G.
Technical factors (1, 2, 3, and 5) are of equal importance and, combined, are equal in importance to Past Performance (Factor 4). Technical and Past Performance combined are approximately equal to price. A bid bond of 20% of the total project bid price or $3M, whichever is less, is required. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit proposals via the PIEE Solicitation Module. Financial statements can be submitted as a separate password-protected file in PIEE.
