SECTION M — EVALUATION CRITERIA

1.0 Section M Evaluation Criteria

1.1 SOURCE SELECTION

The evaluation criteria establish how the Government will make its selection for award, the number of awards contemplated, and how the various considerations and criteria interrelate. The results of the evaluation will be considered by the Government to determine which proposal(s) represents the best value to the Government.

2.0 General Provisions

2.1 General

The Government intends to competitively award, multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, utilizing the process of evaluation and the evaluation criteria described herein. This source selection will be conducted in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) Part 15, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (R-DFARS), Department of War (DoW) Source Selection Procedures. These regulations are available electronically at the RFO Site: https://www.acquisition.gov/.

2.1.1 Cost or Price Evaluation Exclusion

Notwithstanding the above, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 3303(a)(1)(B) (formerly 10 U.S.C. § 2305(a)(3)(C)), as amended by Section 825 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017, the Government will not evaluate cost or price for the IDIQ contract. While offerors are required to submit binding Total ODC Indirect Burden and Handling Rate ceilings for contract incorporation purposes, these rates will not be evaluated for realism or reasonableness at the IDIQ level, nor will they factor into the IDIQ award decision. Price, including the application of the capped rates on ODC, will be evaluated as a factor in the fair opportunity decision for each individual task order.

2.1.2 Responsibility and Conformity

Contract award will only be made to the Offerors who are deemed responsible in accordance with the RFO Part 9, as supplemented, whose proposals conform to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications) and are judged, based on the evaluation factors, to represent the best value to the Government. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.
