In accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 15, 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 intends to award a contract to the offeror whose proposal offers the best value to the Government. The Government will execute the evaluation using the Best Value Tradeoff process, as defined in FAR 15.101-1. Proposals will be evaluated using FAR 15- Contracting by Negotiations, including a Tradeoff process between price and non-price factors. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Proposals will be assessed for how well the offeror’s proposal meets the solicitation requirements and the risks associated with the offeror’s approach. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Factor 1 Technical Capability Factor 2 Past Performance Factor 3 Price The non-price evaluation factors (Factors 1 and 2) are listed in descending order of importance. Both non-price factors when combined are significantly more important than Factor 3 – Price. Factor 3- Price becomes increasingly more important when Offerors receive similar ratings for the non-price factors. Prospective Offerors are forewarned that a proposal meeting solicitation requirements with the lowest evaluated price may not be selected for award if a higher rated evaluated price proposal is determined to be most advantageous to the Government. Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items, with its offer. Clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.

Questions received after that time may not be answered. Additional information is provided in the SF1449. Points of contact: Captain Zach Keener 843-228-2129, [email protected] Kacy M.
