The solicitation provides that quotations will be evaluated through determination of the response which provides the Best Value to the Government. The award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The agency will first rank quotations according to price, from lowest to highest, and will evaluate the lowest-priced quotation as a low, moderate, or high technical rating in accordance with the requirements, reserving the right to evaluate additional quotations if deemed to be in the best interest of the government. Evaluation of past performance will then be conducted by the Government to seek recent and relevant performance information on the lowest priced, technically high-rating offeror based on (1) the past efforts provided by the Prime Offeror via the Past Performance Questionnaire and (2) data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. The Government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced responses allow for substantial confidence based on performance. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the Government has in the offeror’s ability to supply the Steam Generator, that meets users’ needs, based on the offerors demonstrated record of performance. Offerors with no recent/relevant performance history or if the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall be considered neutral, meaning their performance is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral).

Evaluation Factors:

1. Price

2. Technical Acceptability

3. Past Performance
