Factor II. Price
Factor III. Past Performance
Evaluation Approach. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will use comparative analysis. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:
Factor I. Technical capability or quality offered to meet the Government requirement: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation. Technical capability factor is more important than the Price factor.
Factor II. Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices, including all options. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability or quality of the service offered to the Government requirement, as stated in Factor 1, shall not be selected regardless of price.
Factor III. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate on how well the offeror identified performance relates to the requirement procured under the SOW for this procurement to determine relevancy.

The Government may use other methods to evaluate past performance, including but not limited to review of
Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and
Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other
databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and as
appropriate, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Acquisition Information Repository,

performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past
performance.
If offeror does not provide all volumes as outlined in RFO 52.212-1 Instructions, the offer may be considered nonresponsive.
The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by evaluating the offerors submissions volumes; Volume I - Technical Capability, Volume II - Price and Volume III - Past Performance.
