Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document outlines the evaluation factors for award using a two-step sealed bidding process, as supplemented by DFARS and available on Acquisition.Gov. The government intends to award a single contract.

• Step One (Technical Proposal): Bidders must submit a technical proposal that meets all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations, certifications, delivery, and Statement of Work (SOW) requirements. Proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability. A single deficiency in any subfactor will result in an unacceptable rating.

• Step One: Focuses on technical proposals. The government may proceed directly to Step Two if sufficient acceptable proposals exist, or may request clarifying information. Bidders are urged to submit their best technical proposals initially.

• Step Two: Involves sealed priced bids. The apparent lowest priced proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness, completeness, balanced pricing, and price realism. The government may evaluate other bids if the apparent lowest is deemed un-awardable.

Failure to comply may result in ineligibility for award. Bidders must clearly identify and provide rationale for any exceptions to solicitation terms and conditions.

Not specified in this document.

Two-Step Sealed Bidding Process:

• Step One (Technical Proposal):
  • Focuses on technical acceptability. Pricing is not considered.
  • The government will evaluate technical proposals for their potential to be corrected if minor deficiencies exist. Major revisions will result in elimination.
  • Bidders are urged to submit their best technical proposals initially, as the government may proceed directly to Step Two without requesting further information.
  • Technical Evaluation: Based on the offeror's approach to meeting technical requirements. Each subfactor must be rated 'Acceptable' for the overall proposal to be considered technically acceptable. A single deficiency in a subfactor results in an 'Unacceptable' rating for that subfactor.
    • Technical Subfactor 1: Capability and Management: Demonstrates ability to meet capability and management requirements with minimal disruption.
    • Technical Subfactor 2: Schedule and Planning: Demonstrates ability to schedule and plan the project to meet or improve the mandatory completion date.

  • Only technically acceptable proposals from Step One will be considered.
  • Award will be made to the responsible bidder with the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable proposals.
  • Pricing Evaluation: The apparent lowest priced proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness (completeness), balanced pricing, and price realism. The government may evaluate other bids if the lowest is deemed un-awardable or to ensure adequate competition.

Not specified in this document.

• Bidders may be required to correct minor mistakes in their bids. Major revisions will lead to disqualification.
• Site visits may be conducted during Step One to assess bidder capability.
• The contract volume must include a signed SF 1442, bid guarantee bond, current SAM.gov representations and certifications, and a current SPRS assessment.
