Evaluation
Award shall be made to the best value, as determined to be the most beneficial to the Government. Please read each section below carefully for the submittals and information required as part of the evaluation. Failure to provide the requested information below shall be considered non-compliant and your quote could be removed from the evaluation process.
Quotes shall be evaluated under FAR Part 13.106-2(b) -- Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. The Contracting Officer may issue a purchase order to other than the lowest priced quoter. The Government may award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the government with price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:
Factor 1: Technical: The technical factor focuses on the specifications as detailed in the SOW for K9’s and is more important than price and delivery.
Factor 2: Delivery: Leadtime and delivery of canines is more important than price but less than technical acceptance.
Factor 3: Price: The contracting officer has determined that there is a high probability of adequate price competition for this acquisition.
Factor 1 is the most important, Factor 2 is more important that Factors 3. The non-price factors when combined are significantly more important than price. Award shall be made to the Offeror whose offer is determined to be the best value to the Government based on a trade-off among the price and non-price factors. Consideration is also given to the amount of open orders that a vendor may currently have open with CBP.

There must be a separate proposal for each bid made (Not combined on the same sheet).
