Evaluation Criteria - Service

(Tradeoff)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.  The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:  Technical, Past Performance and Price.  The Contracting Officer determines that past performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/ non-acceptable rating, and only those offerors who receive an “acceptable” rating will be determined to have met the past performance acceptability standard. The offeror is required to submit complete and accurate information as requested.

The Technical acceptability element of the evaluation will first be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and/or objectives in the solicitation and sample tasks as well as the prior experience requirement. The performance characteristics and specifications that must be met are stated in this solicitation document and the Performance Work Statement (PWS) document, which is provided as an attachment to this solicitation. The prior experience requirement applies to the company itself only.  The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information which is not included in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, offerors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, sample videos or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the proposed effort meets the performance characteristics and specifications of the requirement listed in this solicitation and attached PWS.  If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to conform to the requirement of this solicitation, the offeror shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications.  The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the offeror.   Those offers that meet or exceed the stated performance characteristics and/or objectives will then be evaluated in terms of technical aspects above the minimum requirements that would be most beneficial to the Government. In particular, the Government is willing to trade-off on price for offerors that exceed the following performance work characteristics/objectives and/or period of performance.

Government will evaluate based on the following:

Past Experience: Past Performance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable rating basis. An “Acceptable” rating is defined as the Government having reasonable confidence that the offeror can complete all requirements under the contract and meet stated delivery dates.  An “Unacceptable” rating is defined as the Government having minimal confidence that the offeror can complete all requirements under the contract and meet stated delivery dates. Only offerors rated “Acceptable” will be eligible for award. The ratings will be based upon past performance information submitted by the offeror, as well as any other past performance information the Government may obtain.

• Offerors shall have minimum of five (5) years of progressive experience in Army / Department of Defense (DoD) process related to video production development and streaming support services with a comprehensive knowledge of the Army Research and Development (R&D) environment.  
• The subject experience shall reflect a minimum of two (2) awards or task order over $100,000.00
• Offerors shall submit three (3) samples, each under 3 minutes in length that clearly demonstrate video capabilities as outlined in the PWS and Sample Tasks provided.  These videos shall focus on the Army / DoD R&D community.  The samples shall showcase capabilities and talent of the offeror. 
• Ability for contract employees that work on site on a regular and routine basis to complete and favorably pass a National Agency Check (NAC).

Past performance will be evaluated based on information provided by the offeror as to actual sales of the proposed effort to industry or Government agencies.  Past performance will consider the ability of the offeror to meet characteristics/objectives, delivery schedules (with warranty fulfillment and maintenance reputation included as applicable).  Offerors shall include a minimum of 4 records of past performance from the previous 24 months.  Offerors shall identify the following for each:
 

          1.  Name of contracting activity

          2.  Contract number

          3.  Contract type

          4.  Total contract value

          5.  Synopsis of contract effort

          6.  Contracting officer and telephone

          7.  Program manager, PATR, or COR name and telephone

          8.  Administrative contracting officer/telephone, if different from  #6

          9.  List of major subcontractors

Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price of the sample tasks, including options, (if any).  The resulting award(s) will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract using Time and Material (T&M) contract type with a ceiling of $750,000.00 for a three (3) year ordering period. A cost reasonableness and cost realism analysis will be utilized in the evaluation of these efforts. The offeror will be required to submit complete and accurate information as requested in the Adelphi Local List of Special Instructions - Instruction to Offerors - Proposal Submission Requirements, Volume III – Price/Rates.

Technical and past performance are of equal importance and when combined are significantly more important than price.  The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest price and to award without discussions.

                        (x)  Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3 (with its Alternate I), Offeror Representations with its offer.
