Procedures in FAR 13.106 are applicable to this procurement. While price will be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final contract award will be based on a combination of factors - a combination of price, technically acceptable quotes, past performance, and responsibility. The quotation meeting the solicitation requirements with the lowest price may not be selected for award if award to a higher priced Quoter is determined to be more advantageous to the Government. However, the perceived benefits of the higher priced quotation must merit the additional price. Price: Quoters shall submit a price for each item listed in this Notice. Technical: The Quoters technical acceptability will be evaluated against the performance requirements in the Statement of Work. Quoters will be rated Acceptable if they adequately show their ability to meet the performance requirements identified in the SOW and take no exceptions to the SOW.

By submission of a quote, the Quoter takes no exceptions to the Statement of Work, unless specifically stated. Past Performance: The Quoter shall provide relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is experience within the past five (5) years that is essentially the same as or similar to, the scope, magnitude, and complexity of the work as described in the SOW. To demonstrate past performance, the Quoter shall identify up to three (3) of its most recent, relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years. For each contract, include contract number, name of Agency or company, contract dates of performance, scope, magnitude, and complexity of the work, point of contact name, email and telephone number. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and contacting Government customers who have received recent and relevant experience from the Contractor. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. Note: If an offeror has no record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Quoter shall be determined to have unknown (or neutral) past performance. Responsibility Determination: To be eligible for award of a purchase order hereunder, the Quoter must be determined by the Contracting Officer to be a responsible prospective Quoter in accordance with FAR 9.1. The Government may utilize a combination of various Government database repositories used to determine that a contractor is responsible.
