Attachment 6: Sections M (Amendment 2)

Section M: Government Evaluation
M.1 Basis for Award
The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price “C” type contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, considering the evaluation factors outlined below. This will be a trade-off process in accordance with FAR Part 15. Factor 1 is significantly more important than Factor 2. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions.
The following factors will be used to evaluate proposals: •
•
•

Factor 1: Program Management Plan – Oral Presentation
Factor 2: Past Performance – Oral Presentation
Factor 3: Total Evaluated Price (TEP)

M.2 SELECTION PROCESS

A single award will be made utilizing subjective trade-off methodology. The award decision will be based on which proposal is most advantageous or best interest to the Government and will be based on an assessment of proposals against the selection criteria of the solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that award may be made to other than the highest-technically-rated Offeror, or other than lowest-priced Offeror if the Government determines that paying a price premium is warranted.
To be eligible to receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for Factor 1 (Program Management). An evaluation rating of “Unacceptable” or “Marginal” for the identified Factor will cause the entire proposal to be ineligible for award. M.2.1 General Selection Information
