This acquisition will utilize Tradeoff Source Selection Process in accordance with (IAW) FAR 15.103-1, as supplemented. The Landing Gear Collaborative Supply Chain Integration 2 (LG-CSCI2) contract will be awarded to the offeror who represents the best overall value to the Government, based upon an integrated assessment of Technical, , Price, and Past Performance evaluation Factors, that is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L and the Technical Requirements Document (TRD) of this solicitation. The Government intends to award to the offeror that gives the Government the greatest confidence that it will best meet, or exceed, the requirements. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the Technical Ratings, Technical Risk ratings, of the higher priced offeror outweigh the cost difference. The SSA will base the source selection decision on an integrated assessment of proposals against the source selection criteria in Section M. While the Government Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and Technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors and all other information required by Section L, Instructions to Offerors (ITO), of this solicitation. Number of Contracts to be Awarded – The Government intends to award one contract for the LG-CSCI2 program. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, if the SSA determines it is in the Government’s best interest. If the Government determines not to award a contract, the Government is not liable for any costs incurred by potential offerors for proposal preparation and/or participation in the source selection process.
