Evaluation: Factor 2 – Relevant Experience It is highly desirable that offerors include relavent experience related to the SOW. The information provided in the Relevant Experience submission must be sufficiently detailed so that the Government can determine whether the project(s) demonstrate relevant experience of similar scope, size, and complexity of this acquisition.

Evaluation: Factor 3 – Price The Government will evaluate the Offeror's price quote for completeness, accuracy, compliance, and to determine price reasonableness.

Basis of Award: This procurement is being conducted pursuant to FAR 19.5.01 as a small business set-aside. The Government intends to award a single firm-fixed price task order to the Offeror whose quote represents the best value to the Government. Comparative evaluations (comparing quotes to each other) will be used to select the Offeror that is best suited and provides the best value based on the following three

1. factors in descending order of importance: Factor 1 - Technical Experience, Factor 2 - Relevant Experience, and Factor 3 - Price.

The Government will use the tradeoff process to make a determination of best value. This means that the Government will consider issuing an award to other than the lowest priced Offeror, other than the highest technically and relevant experience evaluated Offeror based on an assessment and tradeoff between non-price factors (Factor 1 and

1. and price (Factor 3).

The nonprice factors are more important than price. However, the closer the quote's non-price evaluations are to one another, the more significant the price factor becomes in determining the best value to the Government. This is only a request for quotation.

No guarantee of award is made or implied. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date.
