ATTACHMENT 06 – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD (SPECIAL

AUDITS)

Public Accountant Contract Audit Program (PACA) - Special Audits

03 November 2026

1.0 BASIS FOR MASTER CONTRACT AWARD

The NAFI intends to award up to three (3) Nonappropriated Fund Purchasing Agreements (NPAs) from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose quotes, conforming to the RFQ, are determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Initial master agreement placement will be based on meeting all technical requirements and having the lowest total evaluated prices. All technically acceptable offers will be evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis.

2.0 DELIVERY ORDER ROTATION AND BEST VALUE PLACEMENT

Following the placement of the up to three (3) master NPAs, the NAFI reserves the unilateral right to award individual financial and performance audits to any of the successful prime contractors based on the best value and overall benefit to the NAFI. The NAFI is not obligated to assign audits to a specific contractor and may rotate or distribute tasking based on factors including: contractor resource availability, specialized program familiarity, geographical alignment, performance history, and optimal pricing for that specific task.

3.0 TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA

To achieve a rating of 'Acceptable' under the Technical factor, the offeror's proposal must satisfy all requirements of the Statement of Objectives (SOO) and Instructions to Contractors (ATCH 01), specifically: - Complete CSOW: Narrative demonstrating a comprehensive approach to performing the specialized audits without ambiguous responses.
- Subcontracting Prohibition: Strict compliance with the subcontractor ban. Proposals featuring subcontractor labor, joint ventures, or 1099 consultants will receive an automatic rating of 'Unacceptable'. - Overseas Travel Declaration: Offerors must explicitly state in their technical response if they are willing to travel overseas to the locations listed in Attachment 12, or if they wish to restrict performance to CONUSonly . A CONUS-only restriction will not disqualify the bidder from the master NPA placement but will govern task-order routing.
