(viii) The Government will award a contract resulting from this combined synopsis/solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer, conforming to the combined synopsis/solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
Award will be made to the lowest-priced, responsible Offeror that is deemed technically acceptable with acceptable past performance. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following criteria: 1) Price; 2) Technical Description; and 3) Past Performance.
1) Price
The Government will evaluate price per Item No(s) to determine price fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 12.204. In accordance with FAR 12.204, the Contracting Officer must determine the proposed price fair and reasonable before making an award. Since this combined synopsis/solicitation will be conducted using competitive procedures, adequate price competition is expected as the basis for determining the fair and reasonableness of the selected Offeror’s price. In the event that there is only one satisfactory offer, the Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the Offeror and subcontractors and may conduct negotiations with the Offeror in order to ensure a reasonable and realistic price.
NOTE: All Contract Data Requirement Lists (CDRLs) shall be Not Separately Priced. If your quotation contains priced CDRLs, the Government will require a revision in order to remain eligible for award.
2) Technical Description
The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s quotation to determine the extent to which the Offeror’s quotation provides a technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation and demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to meet the Government’s requirements as outlined in the SOW. Each Offeror will be evaluated for technical acceptability based on a review of its verification of installer’s adherence to the required standards (SOW Paragraph 3.1) and required certifications (SOW Paragraph 3.3) by the Government subject matter experts. The Government’s review will focus on whether the Offeror’s submission clearly demonstrates its ability to meet the technical specifications set forth in the SOW.
To determine the technical acceptability, the Government will consider all quotations on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis.
Acceptable: Based on the offeror’s technical description in its submission, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror is capable of meeting the technical specifications set forth in the SOW within the specified PoP.
Unacceptable: Based on the offeror’s technical description in its submission, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror is capable of meeting the technical specifications set forth in the SOW within the specified PoP.
Each quotation will be reviewed independently and must be found to be acceptable in all the areas to be considered “Technically Acceptable” and eligible for award. If an Offeror does not provide a technical description in its offer of the services being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation and demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to meet the Government’s requirements, the offer may not be considered for award.
3) Past Performance
Each Offeror will be evaluated on its past performance based on recent and relevant contracts or subcontracts currently ongoing or completed within the last three years for similar efforts. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to size and complexity of the procurement under consideration and relevance of the performance to the requirements of the SOW of the solicitation. Sources other than those identified by the Offeror may be contacted by the Government. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation:
A separate quality rating will not be assigned. However, a past performance assessment rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable will be based on the Offeror’s overall record of past performance taking into account the recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. Sources of past performance evaluation information include information provided by the Offeror in response to the solicitation, information obtained from questionnaires, and any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information Systems, Electronic Subcontract Reporting System, or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.
Past Performance Relevancy Ratings:
Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope of effort this solicitation requires.
Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope of effort this solicitation requires.
Past Performance Acceptability Ratings:
Acceptable: Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required efforts, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown.
Unacceptable: Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or Neutral) past performance. In the context of Acceptability/Unacceptability, a Neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”
Quotes MUST be valid for 60 calendar days after close of buy.
Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at DFARS 252.204-7998, Alternate A Annual Representations and Certifications with its offer, or shall provide a statement that its Representations and Certifications were completed in SAM.
(xiv) This requirement has not been assigned a Defense Priorities and Allocations rating.
(xv) Questions may be submitted no later than 11 March 2026, 4:00 PM EDT. Late requests may not be considered, and the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation period may not be extended to accommodate late requests.
(xvi) The Point of Contact is Alexander Buchan; email: alexander.g.buchan2.civ@us.navy.mil
All quotations shall be in accordance with this Combined Synopsis/Solicitation and Attachments 001, “Statement of Work,” and 002, “CDRLs.”
