Source Selection Approach

The approach to source selection for this procurement will be pursuant to the best value tradeoff concept as identified in FAR Part 15.101-1 and FAR Part 15.3.

Competitive proposals will be evaluated and assessed; based on the factors specified in this solicitation. For this solicitation, the combined weight of the technical evaluation factors are more important than price (FAR 15.101-1 – Trade Offs.)

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (other than exchanges conducted for the purpose of minor clarifications). However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

1. Prior Experience on Relevant Projects
2. Approach & Management Plan
3. Past Performance on Relevant Projects

The award will be made to the firm that represents the best value to the government. In accordance with FAR 15.404, price analysis will be used to determine price reasonableness and the offeror’s understanding of the work requirements/line items (i.e. unreasonably high prices, as compared to other offers received and the Government Estimate, may indicate the offeror does not fully understand the requirements/line items of the RFP) and the ability to perform the contract.

Offerors will be required to submit a Bid Coefficient (Factor) as part of their price proposal.
